Wedding Registry - Yes or No

I'd make a small one because there are some people who will want to give you an actual gift instead of money

Like S&P said, I'd do a small one. There's nothing you'd want upgraded, like a new comforter set or new frames for your wedding photos or anything?

We aren't registering. When people ask I just tell them we're not registered anywhere.

I wasn't going to bc FH and I live together and have a 1year old but honestly some people do want to get you more personal gifts and there are somethings I'm sure you could use, upgrades things you don't wanna spend the money on but would love to have, it also keeps people from buying you random stuff you don't want or need. And if you don't get much off your registry you won't be upset...I esp added one because I am having a bridal shower so is nice for people like my FH's grandmother or aunt who I like to hope won't buy me lingerie or something I don't want lol

And it also makes returns easier just a thought but if you don't want to you absolutely don't have to..I went back and forth on the topic a lot and finally just decided to go ahead with it

Some people feel more comfortable purchasing gifts off a registry rather than giving cash. A small one might help some guests out.

PS... was baccalaureate a typo/autocorrect?! lol

I will bring a gift to any wedding I attend, whether they registered or not (with the rare exception of one that specifically states not to bring a gift, which is weird in and of itself). If you want me as the guest to give you something you want, register. If you want me to choose whatever random thing I personally like, don't register.

I did a small one with upgrades that aren't necessary but something I would like to have eventually. New towels, kitchen tools, kitchen aid attachments.. Those types of things. We did ours at Target.

Since you aren't having a shower you don't technically need a registry. But since people are asking you, that means you have guests who would prefer to get you a physical gift. Some folks just aren't cash in a card type gifters. Do you have a favorite store that might have a registry program? Did you know etsy does registries? Maybe some nice wall art or pottery (vase, platter) from etsy that would enhance your home?

I think its best just to suck it up and do a registry. Just go do one at target, just about everybody has a target in their area. And please consider registering at more than one store. I know that many feel that registering at only one place is considerate and makes you look not greedy. My cousin registered at one place, which was a high in boutique of mainly China silver and fine crystal. Not many options. Another relative registered at a chain store that they thought would work for everyone. Problem was it was one of those showcase stores where everything they registered for you could only get at that one location in Ohio. Had these brides just registered at at least more than one location, many guests including me would have been a lot happier.

I didn't do one because my fiance and I have been living together a while and most registries consist of household items. We will just have a gift card table at our wedding.

I didn't register. We lived together and didn't see the point of registering. It was not a problem. Whenever people asked we just told them we weren't registered. Everyone one, except for one person who brought a bottle of wine (and a card), gave us a card.

Do a small registry of things you always say you need but never buy. For FH and us it is new sheets, comforter, nice towels, a couple of new pans. With 3 kids I'm sure there are a few things that you put off replacing (I know I do and I don't even have kids lol).

FH and I have two households full of items. But at the insistence of others, we registered for items to replace or upgrade ones we already have, plus a few wishful thinking gifts. Even after putting a couple of small registries together, a friend told me, "Please don't be offended, but your registry is LAME!" Lol!!! We had to add the "gift card" option, which we totally don't mind, but it gives guests another option if they aren't crazy about what we have on there already. Hahaha!
