We have added a new feature to your registry.
You can now choose to not send a welcome email to a bride when you set the registry up.
The benefit of this is that you can enter the real email of a bride without having her be alerted that you're building a new registry for her.

Admittedly, I think that there are plenty of U.S.-based businesses that need help like the article mentions, but I'm willing to give Stripe a high five for inspiring us.
