Everyone has received wedding invitations with registry ID numbers to Bed Bath & Beyond or Target. But in today's day and age, most couples are already living together before marriage. And most likely already have all the home items they need.
So what do you ask for??? Today I rounded up other options for the Newlyweds that doesn't want a set of handtowels as a wedding gift.
1. Honeymoon Fund
Everyone is having to pay utilities, pay rent-car payments-medical-student loans- etc. Its hard to save up for other things. Like the Honeymoon.
Consider asking for "honey funds". There's many websites that you can set accounts with where your wedding guest can select what part of the honeymoon to pay for! Like a massage, a dolphin tour, a bottle of Champagne at dinner, or rental cars.
For Bryce and I we haven't set money aside for a Honeymoon and its the one thing we truly need help with. If you want to view our Honeymoon Fund you can by clicking here! Or if you were wanting to donate.
2. Charity
Many couples want to use their celebration as a moment to give back to others. Charity gifts is becoming a big trend. It can be giving to a foundation the couple supports, helping a go-green project within the community, or supplying a elementary classroom.
3. A New Home
Just like the honeymoon fund, there's couples who are hoping to ditch the apartment and find the forever home. There's many funding registries where guest can help pay closing cost, insurance, taxes, etc on the couples dream home.
4. Becoming More Well Rounded
Something seriously amazing is having a registry to help fund learning something new. Like a new Language. To truly grasp a language it's not just a full collection of Rosseta Stone. It's also traveling to that languages homeland and learning the tongues from the natives. Many are requesting this as a unique gift option.
5. Future children college funds
Some are requesting help in creating a savings account for future children to have funds for college. The account can be locked for X-amount of years and as you have children you can divide the money into smaller accounts. Then when each child graduates high school he/she will have collected some interest as well.
6. Help teach the Newlyweds how to cook
This is a super fun idea. Have your wedding guest help fund cooking lessons and/or with online sites like Blue Apron! Then the happy couple will learn how to create unique dishes for meals and become more well rounded in other cultures meals.
