Second marriage...did you register?

This is our second marriage for both...it is going to be a small (40-50 ppl) wedding.

People will likely still want to give you gifts.  I've been to two second weddings recently.  One bride registered because she wanted some new things for her new marriage (it was the groom'sfirst marriage).  The other wedding was a second marriage for both and they discouraged gifts (although my fiance's family did give them a gift card to Home Depot).  I thought either way was fine and whatever you and your fiance agree would be best for the two of you, will be okay whether you register or ask for "no gifts please."

It's perfectly fine to register for gifts for a second marriage.

Yeah I'd register.  There are probably going to be a few people like me who don't want to give you cash, but also can't stand the thought of showing up to a wedding empty-handed.  If you're concerned about it looking bad, just make them small with several items in each price range.  Maybe a new set of every day or holiday dishes... some new towels... But I mean, if you didn't register for china at your first wedding I wouldn't necessarily use this as an opportunity to get some at your second you know? I'd keep it lower-end.

If people ask where you're registered, it's ok to tell them, just don't go around advertising it, you know? I think it would be fine to put it on your wedding website.

Also, to the PP who said something about specifying "no gifts please": that is a bad idea. Any mentioning of gifts (even to say you don't want them) implies that you expected them to begin with, which could offend your guests.

Is it ok to place where we registered at on the wedding website? I included the website on Save the Dates, which was also something I didnt know I needed to do lol. We decided to send Save the Dates because a lot of our friends/family will need to know several months in  advance in order to plan acccordingly, especially because its a summer wedding. Anyway, we havent registered yet BUT is ok to just refer people to the wedding website? We really dont need or even what much; just would like not end up with the proverbial white elephants

Yes you should register......Guests still like to give you gifts for your second marriage also.......So for the comfort of the guests you should register yourself.....And if you are not comfortable then you can have a small registry at one place only.......

Because registry is just a guidance for the guests to know what to buy for you....You are not asking them to buy this and this for me....You are just making it easy for them to decide what to buy for you if they want.....
