[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were invited to a Chinese wedding, and on the "registry" tab of their wedding website it said "we prefer cash, but if you'd like, you may purchase something off our registry."

The link was to an Amazon registry, with only two items on it: gift cards in denominations of $100 or $500.

So…cash, or basically cash, please. Classy.[/quote]

I thought it was funny and clever.  They probably have Amazon Prime as well. So, gift arrives in time, if it gets lost or broken, or does not work out, easy pickup by UPS to return.

I would have done more denominations though between $100 and $500.

Most Chinese people would know not to go to the website. They would give cash in beautiful red envelopes to denote good luck.

By the way, many non-Americans like me, want to gift something beautiful - like a crystal vase, a statue etc. Something commemorative and meaningful.  Not toaster ovens.

All the kitchen towels and bath mats and spoons listed on the registry is tacky and make me want to puke. I do not need to know what your toilet seat cover will look like once you are married. Ugh.
