I have a lot of friends getting married now but I know I'll have a lot more that will get married after they already have jobs and likely a nice place and plenty of cookware...honeymoon gifts are more useful in that case. To me that's far less offensive than the ones that overshoot on their registries and register only at expensive shops for only the expensive items. When I'm invited to a wedding it's an indication the guests aren't on par with the guests at the Trump weddings, and expecting people to spend an absolute buttload is rude, IMO.

I'm firmly of the mindset that everyone you invite to your wedding should know whether or not the couple has a home and doesn't need dishes and linens in advance, in order to judge whether or not cash would be more appropriate.
