Hello, some of my questions have been adressed in previous posts but the one I can't find is this: This will be my 3rd marriage and my fiance's 2nd. We have been living together for 3 years and quite honestly don't NEED anything. We have therefore not registered anywhere and are unsure how to correctly let people know that if they wish to give a gift that a cash donation to our "honeymoon fund" would be greatly appreciated.
Actually, we have answered this question many times. Your reasons for wanting cash may be different, but the answer will be the same as in all other cases.
We never request gifts, especially cash. To be honest, why would anyone wish to send you on vacation even if you are marrying? So, even though these registries are fairly common these days, many do not respond well to them and we can't announce it.
You can include this information on a wedding website as long as it is not listed on your first page. And, if anyone asks, you may inform them of the account.
Perhaps my wording was wrong. I was speaking of those people that had verbally asked me the question "so where are you registered?" I did not know if it would then be appropriate to explain and make the "honeymoon fund" known.
Great. That would be completely appropriate at that time to mention it.
Please remember, though, that anyone who gave a gift for either of you before for any of your weddings are not obligated to give another gift this time. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
