Help!! The Only Gifts That We Need Is Cash

Hi

I read a ton of the messages responding to your origninal post. I read so many because I had the same question about asking for cash instead of gifts.

I had 2 of my close friends get married. They registered and did their 2x2 card w/ the invite stated where they registered. The BIG problem that occurred was that many of the guest bought the same things over and over and over and over again. Guest even bought the same thing even though the registry stated that someone else had already purchased it. They had tuns of gifts of the same thing.

What is even worse was that they registered because they felt they had to. They were already living together and had a houshold of stuff.

SOOOO i read these postings and in some ways I do feel that Liz, Chis, and Sarah are right...in their own RUDE ways. However, I still think there is a way to go about it and get the result you want. \

One of the postings there was a statement that said "We/or They are not registered because we already have an established home". I had a thought of maybe placing that on the little 2x2 card. At the top of the card say "Registries" then below it have that statement. In this way you are not asking for money and you are not registering but you are letting your guests know you have what you need. I

N this way you won`t even be mentioning gifts but its a little strong hint then just not registering.
