Did you / are you registering?

This is my 2nd marriage and FI's 1st.

Each of us have our own homes so we're going to have 2s and 3s of every imaginable item.

Should we register? It seems kind of silly to me, but on the other hand it drives me nuts when couples don't register. I like to do a gift card or cash with something off a registry.

I will not be having a shower.

    We were the same -- my second wedding, his first.  We registered.

    My first husband and I had a very small wedding (13 people) and didn't receive any gifts, so everything I had was stuff from Target that I got when I graduated from college ten years ago. My husband worked on a cruise ship for 6 years before we met, and had almost nothing.  We registered for upgrades to my old lower-quality stuff -- nice new casual dishes, pots and pans, cutlery, nice sheets and towels, etc.  Basic stuff, but high-quality -- and most importantly, it is now OUR stuff that WE BOTH like instead of MY stuff:-)

    First Anniversary First Answer First Comment 5 Love Its
    I was asked by someone at work what color towels we had, and I was confused and asked why and she replied that I'm getting married and people usually have registries. I felt stupid and just said I didn't think about it because it was the second time around.  So, I registered, but didn't tell anyone about it. We didn't have a traditional wedding and it was a second for both. We combined homes when we moved in together, so we have mostly everything we could need or want. But, I figured if someone really wanted to get us something and searched around online for a registry, they'd find one and could buy something off of it if they felt obliged. We ended up not getting anything, which was expected, but I was very happy to get the 10% off completion discount!

    Yep, we are. Same here with my second and his first. We're just registering for a few upgrades (some pans, towels,etc). I'm not really expecting gifts, but if someone does want to get us something I'd rather it be something we actually need.

    Thank you for posting this. We're both entering #2 my first was 10 yrs (I left my ex everything bc I didn't care) and he s married 12 yrs and did the same, starting fresh. But there is so much we don't have or could upgrade. We registered for new towels and basic linens and upgrades plus the china we've never had, ppl keep asking what colors, what size bed, etc so we felt it better to register than to not. Good luck!! Ill be reading this as it goes too :-)

    We aren't. The ONLY reason we aren't is because we aren't having a wedding. FI is very against it. We're going to the beach with the kids to get married and its only going to be the 6 of us, maybe my parents and his sister and bil. I think if we were having a wedding and I was having a shower, we would. So yes, I would say go for it. Have fun! Why not?

    I was worried whether we should register or not, since this will be the second wedding for both of us. I like the advice of registering, but only sharing if someone asks, and registering for updates. The thing is, for us, we both left everything behind. We took over my future father in laws house and haven't been able to afford to upgrade anything. We are still using his pots and pans from the 70's! Oh, and just recently finally bought new bedding....yes, we were still using his!
