Registries & already living together

DH and I lived together before marriage and still registered for gifts without moving into a new home. I never once had anyone tell me it was tacky or in poor taste. Like you, we both had older and mismatched items so we just registered for newer, nicer replacements. The idea of only registering if you are moving in to a new home is likely very old and outdated. You are perfectly within reason to create a registry. Just make sure it is for actual gifts and you are not asking for money or guests to pay for parts of your honeymoon.

Go ahead and register. There's nothing wrong with doing so.

The point of a registry is not to get people to give you gifts; it is to tell those who already want to give you gifts what you would like. So long as you aren't including registry information in your invitations, there is no harm in registering.

Go ahead and register! If your guests buy you gifts, they'll know what things you want to replace. That's what my FH and I are doing. We've lived together for over a year and have all of our mismatched dishes, etc. from when we lived alone.

It's perfectly acceptable to register for replacements or upgrades of things that you already have.

Yes you should still register. People want to give you gifts so a registry is a guide for them. Your age or how many years you've been together don't matter.

It's not in poor taste at all. If you don't have something that you want/need, regardless of whether or not you're living together, by all means make a registry.
