My husband and I got married in Thailand last year and we are having a big 'reception' in the States (we live in England) for all of the friends and family who couldn't come to Thailand, about 100 people. We did not register for gifts when we actually got married because firstly we didn't expect the people who did fly to Thailand to buy us anything, and second, a gift registry isn't as common in England, especially if you're not having a traditional ceremony.
Anyway! We want to register for this American reception we're having, but can't decide if it's a bit presumptuous. It's still going to be a big wedding-style reception, only difference is that we're not having a ceremony beforehand. In short, we would have registered anyway had we had the wedding in either the UK or USA, we're just doing it 6 months later...thoughts?
