Asian weddings in general don't really include much of a gift registry because cash is the traditional and expected gift. I wasn't much interested in the idea of a registry at all until I came across the idea of "honeymoon registries." WHAT IS THIS AWESOMENESS, you ask? It's pretty much how it sounds: you register elements of your honeymoon--it could be anything like flights, meals, room upgrades, excursions, even the accessories you'd need for your trip!
The site I browsed through to look at samples was Honeymoon Wishes. They have samples for all the destinations they have. Here's one from a Cancun registry!
Although I'd still rather have cash gifts to contribute towards building a home, I would entertain the idea of at least a small honeymoon registry if people wanted to register gifts. Also, this is a great registry alternative if you already have a furnished home with your significant other.
