I think given their situation it's a great idea. I don't understand how it is tacky. How is it more tacky than cash? Or more stuff they don't need?

The irony. Do you not realize you have judged as 'unnecessary' items the bride/groom have requested? Who are you to determine what is necessary and what is not?

FWIW, I'm from the midwest and give money - not because I'm asked to. It is tackless to expect any kind of gift and even worse to ask for cash.

I don’t have a problem with a 529 registry but if you’re struggling to save for college a big wedding seems like a stupid idea

Some people make the most irresponsible financial decisions. And then later they are the ones shocked by the circumstances they are in.
