Registry when you plan to move cross country

So my fiancee and I have been struggling with some "down the road" planning. We plan to likely be moving cross country for her grad school a year after the wedding (you apply a year out). And so any big items would likely be tossed or have to be sold before the move. We know that we'd likely have the best chance getting something like gift cards/cash or just small things (like linens or replacement kitchenware) but trying to say "hey yeah give us cash because...because." Is kinda skeevy.

We havent told our families about the move yet, we know that some of them will be bitter about it so we're waiting until its a sure thing before we tell them. (The move is nothing against them, we have stuff we gotta do that we cant do here).


Do y'all have any suggestions? We're young people that can't afford to ship a house worth of furniture that far.
