Your Wedding Registry - Get Money To Pay For Your Wedding
Ask for money. OK, it's not the most ettiquette friendly thing to do for a wedding. These days weddings cost way more than people can afford and they need help. With the Internet you can now set up a wedding registry to help pay for your wedding.
These days people don't really seem to care about ettiquette all that much anyway. Asking for money as a wedding gift used to be considered taboo. It just wasn't done.
These days weddings are so expensive that the bride, groom and their parents all have to take out a second mortgage just to pay for it. That's why people are now asking for help.
With the introduction of the Internet people started asking for money online from complete strangers for a variety of things. Now you have the option to ask your friends and family, and whoever else wants to donate for that matter, to give you money for your wedding.
Maybe you need to pay for the wedding, which is expensive all in itself, or the honeymoon, which can cost more than the wedding, or maybe you need a new home. Whatever the reason you need money so why not ask for it.
In this day and age a lot of couples already have all the things they need to run a household because people no longer stay at home until they are married. They have dishes, silverware and everything else. Finding the right gift for the couple who already has two of everything is difficult.
Now you can give the gift of money to your favorite couple instead, avoiding all the guesswork and returns that come later. They also won't get something they already have to really don't like. They can choose what they need and what they want. All you have to do is give them some cold, hard cash.

Hello, I am recently engagaed to my boyfriend of 5 years, and astonished at how expensive it is to even have a simple wedding. I come from an Irish Catholic family and so it is very important for me to have my family at my wedding. Even with cutting our guest list down as much as we possably can it is still about 100 people, including a 12 person wedding party. I’ve read that the aveage wedding costs $30,000, and think it is obsurd and just crazy. My current, hypothetical budget is around 13,000, and I still think it’s obsurd, but with out a nice back yard option, no Mommy and Daddy to pay for it, and living in south Orange County, what do I do?
I’d like to have a small but traditional wedding with a cake, a meal, and a nice party, and yes alcohol is a must. I’m even buying my dress from ebay to save a few hundred bucks. One of my bridesmades is doing my flowers. The expensive things are the location and the catering. The place we chose is Ole Hansons beach club, and for the price it’s prety good, but still $4,500, and then feeding 100 people is going to cost another $4,000 unless we use In n out or el pollo loco, but how tacky would that be.
Any one got an idea?
