Maybe this is old-school now, but the bride used to send a link or whatever to her registry. If we were close friends, I'd contact her or the groom ask what they
needed, not what they wanted. What they
wanted was up to them to pay for. Everyone understood that simple fact.
The only weddings we've been to in many years have been those of the children of close friends. We just ask the parents what to get the kids. These parents pay for the weddings, including the groom's parents stepping-up when the bride's parents can't quite swing what the parents and their kids have decided on. The parents are locked-in on keeping the whole thing as stress-free as possible for the kids and with keeping a lid on needless extravagances.
Old-school: it's still a practical way of going at it and probably still popular with some families.
