My Fiance and I have lived together for over two years, and in that time accumulated most of what we need for the household. I have no earthly desire for fancy china or stuff like that.

If we dont register, or just register for a few things, I have heard it is sort of the way to politely/indirectly say "Cash preferred". Because with looking at renovating the house, etc. in the next year of course cash is what we need most.

Anyone have experience with this? how do you sort of get the word out that IF you are inclined to give a gift, cash is preferred?

i understand what you mean on this one..i am also thinking of  it..i mean preferring cash rather than things as a gift..maybe by telling our maid of honor about it ..and its her job i guess to spread the word but not really directly..maybe giving a hint or something may do the trick..

I received a wedding invitation from a couple who are going to live abroad after their wedding. Their wedding invitation has a note that said: Cash gifts only, please...

I think that cash gifts are amazing. You can buy whatever you want and you don't have to bother with a gift registry if you don't feel like it. Besides, most couples like my husband and I who have lived together for a while before they got married already have everything for their home. Cash gifts can pay for a vacation, or some other thing that we want to purchase but don't necessarily want to put on a gift registry, it's just brilliant.
