All of your wedding registries
together in one place.

It all depends on what you need or want. For instance, if you and your partner recently moved in together or bought a new house, you’ll probably need some new dinnerware or kitchen gadgets. In that case you can (subtly) direct your guests to your Bed Bath & Beyond gift registry. If you prefer cash gifts to have control over what to buy, you can link to your PayPal, Venmo, or Honeyfund pages. Whatever your preferences, be sure to briefly explain your reasoning in a note or on your wedding website.

For your guests who are more used to traditional gift registries, it’s helpful to include a note explaining what their cash gift will go towards and expressing your gratitude for any amount they are able to give.

Not at all! In fact, in many places outside of the US, it’s common (and sometimes expected) to give money in lieu of traditional gifts. In recent years, cash gifting has become more and more popular in the US, as a way of elevating experiences instead of accumulating things, thanks in part to the emergence of cash registry platforms such as Honeyfund.

It’s generally considered poor etiquette to include your gift registry URL on your invitations. But that’s the beauty of developing a wedding website in your wedding planning! With Joy, you can easily add a Registry page to your site. A good rule of thumb? While you don’t want to announce your wedding registry, you want to make it as easy as possible for guests to find.

It’s generally poor etiquette to only have one wedding registry listed, especially if it’s cash-only. Some guests may be uncomfortable with the idea of giving money, so it’s best to include a variety of registries, traditional and nontraditional, to offer your loved ones some options. Try to aim for around 2 to 3 different wedding registry types. For instance, you could have a brick-and-mortar store registry, a universal registry or a specific cash gift registry, and a charity registry.
