My fiance and I already live together, so we have basically everything we need. We are actually in the middle of buying a house before the wedding too (I know we must love stress or something lol). The previous home owners' dog destroyed the walls and floors (like holes and tore completely up), we just see $$$ adding up. My fiance's sister put a lot on her registry and received everything, and barely got any cash for her wedding of 160 people. She recommended we put very few things on our registry (like serving plates for entertaining, new toaster oven, etc.) so that people are more inclined to give cash? It makes sense... and we DO need money for repairs in our new home. BUT wouldn't the bridal shower be weird then? Would people catch onto this when they look at the small registry and think it's rude?
Thanks guys!
