Registry - 2nd marriage

Definitely. Use this opportunity to upgrade your linens, dinnerware, flatware, glassware, stemware, etc.

I don't know what proper etiquette would be for this, but I say go for it! Its your wedding. You can always make a smaller registry and just update a few things around your home.

It is actually rude not to! (Crazy hu?) just make sure there are options in all price ranges

I agree with kitandkaboodle - register for items you'd like to have upgraded from what you already have.

I'm not sure on etiquette either but on a old friend had her second marriage and it was her husband's first. They had a registry.

For us, this is FH's first and my 3rd. We just bought a house together this spring as well. I will be doing a registry, but FH doesn't want to do it. LOL. Another project I need to get on this winter. LOL

It was a 2nd marriage for both DH and I... he was dead set against registering, but I talked him into it just in case. We only told people about the registry if directly asked if we had one. It wound up being more of a place holder for me to buy things after the wedding.

This is my 2nd marriage and DH's 1st. I made a small registry, just in case people asked. Most guests just gave us money and it was fine. I didn't have a shower but a few people got us gifts either before the wedding or for the wedding. I think it's nice for the guests who want to get you something to have a registry.

When you're both getting married for the first time, guests assume you need everything.

If one or both of you have been married before, guests have no idea what you may need after combining 2 households (or what's left of 2 households). Do them a favor and register.

I agree totally! If your cabinets look like mine, there are bits and pieces of four different china patterns, 30 champagne flutes and no normal glasses, 20 forks, one pair of chopstiks and three napkins that don't match.

Fresh start!

The nice thing about a registry for guests is that it makes their life easy. They don't have to worry about your taste, if you will like something, or if you already have something. I've seen some pretty unique registries including things like board games, cycling equipment, power tools, lamps, etc. It doesn't have to be your standard stuff!

Nothing wrong with it at all!

This is my 2nd marriage and FH's 1st. We are going to do a small registry of what we need or would like so we can update around our home.

We combined 2 houses into one, I donated most of my stuff. We didn't register.

This is my 2nd marriage and FH first marriage. We own our home, and have lived together for almost 5 years. We did register for everything - mainly because most of what I owned coming into the relationship belonged to me & my 1st H so I would love to go "out with the old" and "in with the new."

Also, I did not have a shower, reception or honeymoon with my first marriage (3 minutes in the courthouse and it was over) so I never had the opportunity to register or receive gifts the first time.

If you don't need or want everything that goes in a traditional registry, pick things that you want but would never buy for yourself.

This isn't even my 2nd or third marriage, and his second. We can even financially afford anything we need, but we registered, because people who want to give a gift have no idea what we needed. and, of course, things always wear out.

I sort of did and then I didn't tell anyone. I felt guilty since we both have been married before. Our wedding is so tiny. We are having 26 ppl tops including us. It worked out though, we got some items we really needed.

If you're having a big wedding, you register as a courtesy to your guests. They're going to give you a gift anyway.

Nowadays, most people live together before marriage, and its still acceptable to register.

Register, unless what you want is actually cash. A registry doesn't obligate your guests to give you a gift; it merely gives them ideas if they want to give you gifts.
