HI All,
I'm new to the board and The Knott. My wedding is April 29, 2011. I live with my fiance in Arizona where he and his immediate family is from. He has aunts and uncles and the like in various states. We are getting married back in NJ where my family is from. My mom said that my side of the family will probably just give money and do not need a registery.
I need some advice though. For one, my MIL said to make a registery, so how do I get the word out to the guests that are all over the country for where my registery is (since I know its not proper to include it in the invite) and seondly do I just not tell my mom that I'm registered at places so my side can just give money?
Please dont get annoyied with me (I've seen other brides wanting to be rude about thier registery or need of money, but I am not) I'm just unsure what is the right and proper thing to do. Of course we do need money, who doesnt? Its very expensive! But we dont want to not register and say "hey give me money". For my side of the family it just seems like its understood that money is the common gift. But I'm not sure what to do about my FI side or how to get the word out about a registry. I'm all confused! And I bet I confused yall as well /><
Thanks so much!
