I have a dilemma. Our wedding is incredibly last minute in planning. Maybe 6 weeks from start to finish. We have a guest list of around 65 confirmed, and fiance now has many people asking about where we registered. We did not.
We live with a roommate who is epically good at destroying everything- appliances, bedding, towels, etc. We do not want new nice things for this man to destroy. We will be living with him for the next year and a half, so a registry really doesn't make sense.
Also, FI doesn't want gifts at all. We have been telling everyone their presence is more then enough, please don't bring a gift. They still ask.
So, is it rude to not have a registry, or to tell the guests we do not want gifts? If they choose to give something, we will obviously be delighted, but don't want any one to feel that they have to, or need to. Is this a proper way to handle the situation?
