Do You Do a Wedding Registry for a Destination Wedding?

By Michael Ferguson

When planning a destination wedding, couples may not be sure if they should create a wedding registry or not. Although there are some benefits to setting up a registry for any type of wedding, there are some particular considerations to take into account when it comes to destination weddings.

For starters, many couples may assume that guests attending their destination wedding will already be spending more money than if they were attending a local wedding. This is true in many cases, since guests will likely have to pay for travel and lodging expenses in addition to the cost of attending the wedding. Because of this, some couples may feel that asking for additional gifts might be intrusive.

On the other hand, setting up a registry can be helpful in other ways.

If you are having a destination wedding in another country or far away from where your guests live, it can be difficult for them to know what kind of gifts would be most appropriate. By creating a registry, you can help give your guests an idea of what types of gifts you would like or need. You can also add items related to your destination such as souvenirs or items that could help make your stay there more enjoyable.

Another benefit of creating a registry is that it can provide an easy way for friends and family who cannot attend the wedding in person to still send you something special as part of your celebration. Guests who cannot attend will likely still want to send you something even if they are unable to do so in person and setting up a registry can help make this process easier for them.

Conclusion:

In the end, whether or not you decide to do a wedding registry for your destination wedding is completely up to you and your partner. If you feel comfortable doing so and think it could benefit your guests, then there is no harm in creating one!
