[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is asking for money different than asking for various items on a registry? [/quote]

Because a registry is a list of items that the couple would happily receive. It helps give direction in terms of colors and styles. Someone might want to give towels, but has no idea what color the couple would like best. The registry helps.

And if someone doesn’t want to give a gift off of the registry, they don’t have to. If they want to give money, they’re welcome to do so. If they want to give a gift card, they can.  If they want to give a handmade quilt, they’re welcome to.

The issue with this couple is that they’re making cash the ONLY gift option. [/quote]

But registries also limit gift options, and[b] often try and point you to items that cost more than you intend to spend.[/b]

I can't imagine giving anyone towels. And I would never buy anyone really really expensive towels.

You are being ridiculously obtuse. How does anyone know what YOU intend to spend. If you don’t see anything in your price range on the registry or items (like towels) that you don’t like, THEN DONT BUY THEM. Just give the cash amount you feel comfortable spending. Done. [/quote]
