How To Respond re: Registry

I would just say you're not registered!

Are you sure there isn't anything you need to upgrade? Creating a small registry couldn't hurt. Some people really do prefer giving gifts over money, and there's hardly a way to ask for money over gifts. I'd throw a few luxuries on a registry and call it a day. Worst case scenario you don't get any of them, which doesn't seem too bad since you don't need anything. Best case scenario, people take it as "we want money instead."

"We're not but thanks for asking! See you at the wedding if not sooner."

Being lazy is not part of someone's culture.

I think you should still have a small registry. There has to be some stuff you could update. FH and I have lived together for 6 years and we have a pretty large registry.

I would just tell them "we don't have a registry because we have everything we need". Let them decide if they want to give you money or not.

^ Yep, just say you're not registered. If they say "Well, what do you want??" Say "We really don't need anything." Hopefully they won't get you anything you don't want and will give cash if they're able to.

Thanks. We responded with those comments. Was just thinking if we should say anything else.

When I say lazy, technically it's not culturally but most people on my side and his side are too lazy to go out, buy a gift and wrap it up. They'd rather just write a check and put it in a card lol.

Which is fine if that is what some people do. But obviously not 100% of them do or you wouldn't need to know how to respond to someone asking about your registry.

I am glad the suggestions helped though!

I had a few insist. I just made a small target one with a few things

@ Vanessa - Yeah not 100%. But the two who asked are different culturally and we have never attended the same wedding before so we did not know how they "gifted" at weddings.
