Registry for Courthouse Wedding?

A traditional wedding, does it seem in poor taste to leave the registry linked on the website?

I didn't register. I felt wrong registering for gifts when nobody got to see the ceremony.

I wouldn't do the registry link on the wedding website. I would still give you a gift if I were a guest though. What you can do is keep the registry and tell people about it if they ask.

I don't think that there will be anything wrong with this idea. Its not about people this day is about the two of you. If they intend to buy gifts they will if not they wont. Just remember this is y'all day and Congratulations!!!

Can you video the wedding for guest to watch at your reception? Just curious is all. Also I see nothing wrong with adding a registery.

I think it's fine. Lots of my couples have very private ceremonies and then bigger parties later on. People may still want to give you gifts!

No. take the registry down. It's not appropriate to ask for gifts from people not invited to the *actual* wedding. If they want to bring you something, they will. If not, there is zero custom or obligation that says they need to.

I'd leave it. I feel like most people would still bring gifts, and I'd be frustrated as a guest if I had no clue what you wanted. You're still properly hosting your guests, and they can still decide whether they feel is appropriate to bring a gift to your celebration.

Generally, gifts are not expected from those that were not invited to the actual wedding.

It's okay to leave it. One of my friends had a very private ceremony and had a backyard reception which was larger and open to everyone. They had a registry and we bought them a gift off it. It's totally up to you! As long as you're hosting them in some way, its fine!

I think it's fine.

I think it's totally fine!

I would leave the registry on the site. I (and basically everyone I know) would still bring a check or gift regardless of when the couple technically got married.

I would remove it.

I'd leave it. Things like that don't offend me, though.

I'd leave it. I don't necessarily "expect" guests to bring a gift even if they did come to the ceremony.

Sounds like people are pretty divided on this. I personally feel that it is fine to leave your registry up. While most people won't be at the ceremony, you are still inviting them to celebrate with you and it sounds like they will be very well hosted. Most will bring a gift or give money and I think that is appropriate since you are hosting the celebration.

I say leave it. A registry is a suggestion of what the couple would like to receive if someone is so inclined to get them a gift, doesn't only apply to ceremony guests or even reception guests.

I actually agree with MNA. Registering for gifts when nobody goes to the ceremony or reception? No.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I think I'm going to leave it... and yeah, I don't think gifts are ever *expected* and they certainly aren't in this case, either, but as a guest I would at least appreciate the option of a registry. I'm also not offended by typical "etiquette" rules, though.
