Wedding Gifts

I hope this ? isn't too personal but, what are most of you planning on doing with your monetary wedding gifts?

Re: Wedding Gifts

We are going to put it away and continue to save for a down payment on a house.

Pay off what's left on my car and put the rest away for a downpayment on a house.

Re: Wedding Gifts

Add to what we've saved towards a new house.

Re: Wedding Gifts

Probably save/invest most of it so we can put it toward a down payment on a house. Maybe a few treats too!

Re: Wedding Gifts

Is anyone else going to buy any unpurchased gifts off your registry? I'm hoping I dont have to but we'll probably do that and spend some of it on the honeymoon. The rest goes into savings!

Re: Wedding Gifts

A lot of my married friends got carried away with purchases and blew it all away. SAVE SAVE SAVE ladies!

Ditto - except it will be our first house (we are NYC renters)!

Maybe, depending on what's left and what I can live without. Otherwise, saving it for a house!

Re: Wedding Gifts

We just got our 1st house in March..
Pic listed on here. I am sure we might do some things but save now since we are paying for the wedding ourselves. Whatever gifts we get is just our money coming back to us.
We are excited to celebrate our Marriage!!

Re: Wedding Gifts

We are putting it towards a condo/house.... we will have already paid for the wedding so the money that comes back from it will be savings.

Re: Wedding Gifts

We made a decent chunk of change, but unfortunately we had to use it to pay off a little wedding debt and our honeymoon, which was to Bora Bora. Totally worth it though! We have a ton of wedding gifts too.

We bought a co-op 2 years ago, so now we are looking for a house.
