We are in our 30's and everything that we need we already have and will have doubles of. I don't want to do a registry but I know some will want to give a gift. I don't want this to be an uncomfortable situation can we do a honeymoon fund or something different besides getting more china or another george foreman grill?
Please search this question, as it has been asked very many times. Yours is a very common situation and also why so many couples are opting for a gift-less shower.
Honeymoon registries (never for showers) are common now, but many guests find them a bit pushy and presumptuous. Many do not appreciate cash gifts the only option or the couple even mentioning cash gifts. Miss Manner went on a tirade about this not too long ago. Obviously she doesn't care for these funds either.
So, you could set one up and hope for the best. It is best to set one up through a bank or an organization so you aren't asking guests to give you money for a holiday.
Be careful about this. Ask yourself how others will consider your request. Why would anyone want to send you on a trip just because you decided to marry? This is the simplest way to determine if this is the right thing to do for you.
Also, please remember that we never mention gifts in our invitations. If someone asks, we can mention it then.
Registering for gifts is fine. But, tell guests only if they ask. If you get a gift you can't use, return it or, better yet, donate it to a local homeless shelter. Since you have everything you want already, why not share your good fortune with others? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
