We would like to introduce you to Wedding Republic, an online wedding registry that is perfect for couples with unique needs.
You heard this before: never expect gifts at your wedding. The reality is that most guests start thinking of what to give the marrying couple the moment they receive an invitation from them.
Wedding Republic: A Unique Wedding Registry
Wedding registries are a fantastic to way to give your wedding guests gift ideas. However, there are many instances where a traditional department store wedding registry just don’t cut it.
You have “stuff”, lots of it, and no, thank you, you don’t need another toaster. Maybe you prefer experiences rather than things. Perhaps you have a very unique taste in terms of home décor and prefer to keep it that way (Star Wars themed home, anybody?). Frankly, you’d rather the money set aside for your wedding gift be channeled somewhere else, like your honeymoon or a favorite charity. Should you just ask for cash instead?
The golden rule in Wedding Etiquette 101: it is never polite to ask for cash. Enter Wedding Republic, a registry that allows you to get cash, without having to explicitly ask for it. How does it work?
When you set up a registry at Wedding Republic, you have the flexibility to define your own registry gift items, whether it’s a honeymoon to Europe or a deposit for your first home. Your guests contribute by sponsoring a piece of the puzzle that makes up the registry item. You get to withdraw the funds for these items after you close the registry.
Wedding Republic uses a secure payment gateway and a 256-bit SSL certificate, ensuring all transactions are conducted securely. View a sample wedding registry.
