OTHER TYPES OF WEDDING REGISTRY IDEAS TO OPT FOR

TRAVEL FUN

One of the best ways to cut down on your wedding cost (as well as the number of redundant wedding gifts) is to register for travel. Websites like Traveler’s Joy and The Honeymoon make it easier for couples to rope their guests into contributing to their honeymoon fund. Starting from visas and flight tickets down to tours and hotel stays, all aspects of the honeymoon can be itemised and made into a trip of a lifetime. travelersjoy.com or thehoneymoon.com

ALTRUISTIC DEEDS

If you wish to spread the joy and love beyond family and friends, I Do Foundation has a wonderful idea on how you can achieve that: a charity registry which informs guests about your charity preferences while encouraging them to make a donation to the cause you care about. The website provides handy tips for planning a socially and environmentally conscious wedding. idofoundation.org

HOUSE PROJECT

If you are saving up for a dream home where you wish to start your married life in, your wedding guests may be able to help you out there. Hatch My House is a new-fangled take on online wedding registry where couples can design a simulative house in the style, colour and setting of their choice. It’s interactive as guests can scroll down on the various items that you need in the house and purchase them for you, be it a dresser, a cabinet or even a flight of staircases! The payment will directly contribute to your housing fund. hatchmyhouse.com

WINE TO PLEASE

In countries like Australia and the US, websites such as Wine Please and Bottlenotes take couples who are self-proclaimed wine connoisseurs to the next level of happiness. Unlike a traditional gift, a wine registry allows couples to create the gift list according to their personal drinking preferences. wineplease.com.au or bottlenotes.com
