Is this tacky or not?

I think that would be great. Maybe just call it wedding fund or vacation or something and maybe not specify or we need money or we need it for this specifically but just have it there and use it for what you need

I've heard of people doing similar things and calling it a "honeymoon fund" I don't think it's tacky at all. When my partner and I eventually get married we will probably do the same. We've been living together for 8 years and don't need anything material 🤷

It’s fine but be aware people may still ignore and buy you a gift. We preferred cash as we lived abroad and presents weren’t going to be viable to take back. We still got gifted clocks and glassware etc even though people knew we’d be flying back post wedding. Think some got returned for gift cards (which my parents bought off us) and others went in storage in my parents for a few years until we eventually moved home. Also like many things it usually only tacky if it’s not worded well x

I think it’s fine personally but I could be tacky

@Zainab🗝️ you tacky? Never, lol

@Cal I know my in-laws will definitely buy us things we don't need (they already do). If my MIL didn't live with us, a lot of it would be up on marketplace. Hoping this will be a way of steering their purchase to something useful

@Jae 👾 my friends all had fundraisers for their wedding, paid for wedding and honeymoon. Since our wedding is so soon, this is kinda like that

@Gabrielle I labelled it "wedding fund" but haven't shared it to anyone

The other thing is that we will be shortly releasing our baby registry......

Figure out some gift things for it too, because some people are just dead set on actual gifts, and then I think it's less tacky because you're giving options. You can always use fresh towels/linens or just pick out some random fun things. I used Zola Registry to combine a list for items and cash funds.

@Audrey we don't need anything and we don't have any room for more stuff
