Times change and so do people’s needs. I still think there’s something – uhm – a bit crass about asking guests to finance a honeymoon.

Definitions of what’s crass has changed over the decades as shown in this very thread by some posters who felt/still feel having a registry was crass when the practice first started a few decades ago and a few who still hold that perspective.

Some of it may also differ by individual. For instance, I personally feel it’s crass some prospective couples and their families feel that invited wedding guests must not only bring gifts, but that the gift should at the very minimum…“cover one’s plate/costs of the wedding”. THAT feels like a money grab of an exceedingly crassier kind and goes against past notions that weddings should be paid for by the couple to be wedded and/or their families.
