Most answers say it is tacky to ask for cash and yet you wonder if there is a website out there that will make it less tacky. A site that maybe allows you to develop an on-line profile to include as one gift registry option in your invitation. This is fairly urgent.
Answer
In the US it's generally considered impolite to ask for CASH for pretty much any gift giving event. Giving cash is ALWAYS an option and guests know that. What the best way to handle it is would be to not register anywhere and have your family and/or wedding party tell guests that ask where you're registered that (because you're looking to move or put a deposit on a house or give no reason at all) that the green stuff is preferred. Some things just don't always make sense - we can make a list (for any occasion now -birthdays, etc) of the gifts we want but to come out and say we'd prefer cash is still taboo... I think it may go to the idea that a guest should "cover their plate" by the cost of their gift and some people don't have that money and may seem inferior... idk.

Would a gift registry be a bad idea for a 15th birthday?

I've made a few lists at a few stores(ex:walmart) practically 75% of the items are under $15 and theres items in every category no higher than $30. I wanted to see though if it'd be a good idea because I don't want to seem like a brat or standoffish.
