Second Wedding registry?

MarcWINS

Is it appropriate to register for items even though this will be my second marriage? It will still be a first for my husband-to-be, and there are so many items we both want and need.  What is the etiquette on this?

I don't know what the etiquette is, but I recently went to a wedding and it was the bride's second marriage and the groom's first marriage, and they registered for gifts.  I didn't have any problem buying them a gift.

Yes, it is appropriate - register if you want to.  I know you will say that between you and FI you have everything you need, but this is an opportunity to upgrade some household stuff (you don't have to do the full-blown china/flatware/etc).  DH and I (second marriage for both) didn't register, and in hindsight I wish I had done a basic registry somewhere.

A registry isn't a subpoena, it's simply providing a guideline for guests who wish to purchase you a gift.  Just make sure you have items in a variety of price points.

I think it is appropriate. You never publicize your registry anyway, unless someone asks about it, so I don't see how it would be inappropriate.

I don't know how I feel about a shower, though.

Yes, it's fine to register for a second wedding.

beyond that, I wouldn't

Of course you can.  And if someone wants to throw you a *gasp* shower that is fine too.  You don't have to apologize that you were fortunate enough to find love again- it's a time to celebrate and it people want to shower you and give you a gift then so be it- this marriage and wedding deserves to be celebrated not forgiven- enjoy your love!!!
