3. Receiving Money Instead of Gifts is Also Trending
So many couples choose to forgo traditional wedding gifts at this point. Many couples have been living together for years and they already have enough bedsheets, toasters, and silverware to last a lifetime. But what they might not have is money. In particular, they may want cash to put a down payment on their first starter home.
If you already have every wedding gift you could ever want or need, think about asking your guests for money instead of traditional gifts. You can set up a free honeymoon registry or use your favorite crowdfunding site to collect cash gifts via convenient registry pages set up on the Internet.

Whether you’re looking for a short dress for your bridesmaids or something different, just make sure the dress isn’t too ugly or unattractive because your bridesmaids will not be happy and your wedding pictures will look distasteful too.
