Question

Do you have a wedding gift registry? Part 1

Answer

We are moving to Australia shortly after the wedding! It would be extremely hard for us to transport wedding gifts to Australia. As such, we are asking for gifts in the form of money to help with travel expenses so that we are able to setup our exciting new lives together in Australia. However, we have received many requests for a gift registry. As such, we have created two gift registries on Australia websites with gifts that we love. The websites have our Australian home address programed in, and you will be able to have the gifts delivered to our home in Australia for free or a nominal fee. The websites will display the prices in Australian dollars, which is less than the US dollar, you should be able to see the price in US dollars as well if you wish. On the https://www.weddinglistco.com.au/ you can click the US currency converter button to view prices in US dollars. Please look at "Do you have a wedding gift registry? Part 2" for more information.
