It's not easy to ask people for money. It's even harder when it comes to your wedding.

We get it. You're in love, and you want to celebrate without breaking the bank. This is where a cash registry can come in handy - and why many couples are choosing them over traditional registries.

If you're just getting started with wedding planning, you might be wondering how a cash registry works and how to ask for cash for your wedding. Don't worry, we'll fill you in on all the details below.

Most couples have a wedding registry filled with gift items they would love to receive for their upcoming nuptials.

Asking for cash is the perfect alternative for those who don't want to bring more stuff into their homes or even those who are just tired of weddings and weddings gifts after attending too many 🥱.

But did you know that it's also a great idea for frugal couples that are looking for ways to save money? Weddings are very expensive. And cashboxes at weddings can go missing or be stolen, causing extra unnecessary stress that can be reduced with a cash registry (check out our list of 8 wedding tips to help you save money here). Many people also prefer to give cash, and there’s no doubt it’s much easier for the bride and groom after the event to do what they want with it (rather than spending a long time deliberating what to buy that distant couple who gave them a toaster). 

I created this post because I wanted to let people know how much things cost and that some couples, like my sister and her fiancé, are planning to pay their bills with money provided by others who support them. They don't plan on buying material possessions. They just don't want to owe anything, so it would be smart to accept contributions in cash.

Plus, seriously, who’s got the time for all that banking nonsense?

By registering for cash gifts, you can reduce the number of trips to the bank and eliminate the worry of your cash gifts going missing. And they won’t — I promise.
