[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't get married until late 20's and early 30's these days. They neither need nor want a toaster. I will never understand why a registry is acceptable but stating you want cash isn't. We did a registry with about 5 items on it. Most people got the idea, and the dinosaurs gave us some weird gift they decided we should have. [/quote]

Maybe you should not invite the "dinosaurs" to your fundraising events in the future.[/quote]

When I got married, we did not do any kind of registry. We gratefully accepted the gifts that people chose for us. We also only invited people who knew us well enough to choose a gift for us (no co-workers of a parent who had never met either of us, no third cousins twice removed).

A wedding gift should be something that a friend or family member chooses for you because they care about you. That's all. We shouldn't be telling people what we want from them because then they are just fulfilling a request, not truly giving a gift.
