[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sympathetic to people who don't want a bunch of household gifts, especially when they are getting married late and have these things.

But if I had to do it, and I know that enough family would be miffed if I said 'no gifts', I would probably say no gifts but if you wish make a donation to one of the following charities.[/quote]

This is what we did, as we were moving abroad shortly after our wedding. We gave the name of a good local charity that we had vetted personally and was closely tied to some of our beliefs (they focused on helping people with a condition that is the same as a close relative had), and told people gifts were unnecessary, but if they would like they can give to this charity in our name. The charity was extremely grateful.

As for registries, the ones we've seen lately are all online, so you can just go to Amazon.com, pull up their registry, and have the gift delivered directly to their house with a card. So it's no hassle at the wedding itself anyway.[/quote]
