My FI and I have chosen not to register for gifts. We both lived on our own for a while before we met and have since moved in together and really have everything that we need. We are also doing a combined traditional Cambodian and American wedding and typically a Cambodian bride and groom do not register for gifts. Now with that being said, my MOH (also happens to be my sister) is throwing me a bridal shower in about 6 weeks. She told me that I have to have a registry if I'm going to have a bridal shower. Is this true? And if so, I have no idea how many gifts to register for. There will probably be about 15-20 people at the shower...so should I register for about 15 items? 20 items? I have no idea.
