Wedding Registry - Yay or Nay?

Just in my opinion it should be people get them what they want I would think it's rude if I was to do a list of what I wanted

My God-daughter had a list with a well known department store and I couldn't even afford the cheapest item. When I got married I had a little note book and each page had 1 item if quests wanted ideas they tore a page/s out. I think the difference now is couples have either lived together or in their own flats and have most everyday items whereas I was literally setting up house.

I personally would put some money in a card and is up to them to get something

We lived together but still had a wedding list from a one particular store. Ours was church wedding though. As a couple we put in a range of what we wanted at reasonable prices, what we would be prepared to pay for others. We didn’t have everything we needed and things we did have weren’t very good. So we were reasonable, we didn’t ask for anything expensive, just functional.

I think it makes sense to have a wedding list as in this day and age couples have normally lived together anyway before getting married and could end up with half a dozen toasters . I think money is always better as then they can put it towards whatever they want/need.

Um yay and nay i find its quite good but on other hand i can see it could offend some people.

I didn't hand out a list when I got married and didn't expect anything either.If someone can afford to give and want to then that's fine but I don't think we should lay burdens upon people.

I think a wedding list is a good idea if it has a good range of items and prices , not just expensive items, but guests just the same should be free to give a voucher/money or a gift of their choice if they so wish

We told people not to get us anything but guests insisted so we told them to get us a gift voucher so we could get stuff for our new house. I think it is fine to have a list if you state that you can either buy something off the list if you wish too. It should also be a list of items and it is up to the guest what brand they buy and how much they spend.

I did fantastic with money on my wedding that I'm going to get married again as I'm skint

Samgoodship because is a wedding £500 usually is no more than £20.00

I have no problems with a wedding list but I think it is up to the guests if they follow it. I do object to having to pay towards some else’s wedding. I was asked to put money towards the bar, I don’t even drink alcohol.

When we got married, we asked for Argos vouchers (20 years ago) as we were moving into a military quarter which had furniture but nothing else. We bought basics like pots and pans etc.

didn’t see the point of a registry as only needed basics to start us off.
