Bridal Shower Etiquette

I am getting married for the second time and it's my fiance's first.  My mom and I agreed that my family shouldn't host a shower. However, my FMIL said from the start that she wants to give us a shower since he's never been married. Also, some people from my mom's office (her and my finace work in the same office) already said they will be throwing me a shower. She even talked to them about not doing one since it's my second but they disagreed and said they would still like to throw one for us. My question is this...is it ok to register for gifts we want? We weren't planning on registering but seems with 2 showers that people might be asking where to purchase items and I've already had a few ask me what colors I'm using in the house. Thanks!

    After hearing from people here and on other boards, I decided to register - won't make a big deal of it, but if people ask, I can tell them.  Would love some kitchen upgrades, so that's what I'm registering for.  However my FI and I would be happy if people donated to Florida Greyhound and Boston Terrier rescue.  That's what we're doing instead of favors.  Donating to those two groups.  For my shower, the girls are doing a "Chef" shower. (I love to cook!).  Everyone will bring a copy of their favorite recipe and one item that one needs to make that recipe.  For example, a cassarole rescipe and a cassarole dish.

    Hope this helps Laughing
