I am getting married next summer. My fiance and I have been living together for three years now, so we have everything we need for a home in regards to items that are typically purchased as wedding gifts (appliances, silverware, towels, etc). I don't really want to set up a typical gift registry because there's nothing I need, and I'm not too crazy about the idea of getting things I'll never use, like extras of what I already have, monogrammed towels, or a set of china. I saw on a bridal website the concept of setting up a fund account with a financial institution where wedding guests can opt instead to donate to a "house down payment" in lieu of a tangible gift. My fiance and I have been living in the same apartment the whole time and with a 15 month old son and another due in 5 weeks, everyone that knows us knows we can't afford a house on our own. I like this idea but I don't know if it would be considered inappropriate. But I really don't need any gifts. Thoughts?
