It’s a fairly mainstream practice for couples to register gifts for their wedding, but not every couple wants tangible goods; Zankyou is a website that allows couples to instead receive the cash value of their registered gifts.
Zankyou lets your guests select gifts from your wedding registry, but you’ll have the option to receive cash in your bank account instead. Since you create the lists and select a picture, you can create some out-of-the-ordinary options like dinner at your favorite restaurant, contributions to charity or a portion of a vacation.
