Are you registering this time around?

I am getting mixed messages on this. I have been asked by several friends where we were registered though!  What are your thoughts?

We were not planning on having a registry at first.  Several friends asked and a few close friends encouraged us to.  We decided after hearing from them that perhaps we should.  It gives those that want to give you a gift an idea of what you would like.  I think it's a personal decision and one that you both have to be comfortable with.

We were going to do a small one - "just in case".  But honestly it is the last thing on my to-do list so if we never get to it, so be it.

And so far - only one person asked us if we were registered.

no one has asked us yet and we weren't planning on it....we're doing a wedding in las vegas, so anyone that wants to go has to travel.  we figure that could be their present....and we won't be offended if they choose not to go!

We did not register. We felt that we have all the stuff you would normally register for. However, we did include in our invites/ STD that we would not be registering. And when people ask about gifts, we just tell them that their attendance is enough for us. Cheesy, but true.

We registered, and I would strongly suggest doing that so you don't get a white elephant gift or worse...

We weren't planning on it, but after the advise of seom friends we have decided to make a "small" registery just in case.

I wasn't planning on it at first. But I think we'll do it anyway. It's my partner's first marriage and he has a large family from all over the world that may want to give him gifts, and it might help them to know what we need. 

Also, the assumption is that grown adults who've been previously married have everything they need already to set up house- but that's not us. Both of us entered this relationship with little more than the clothes on our backs and the truth is, we need stuff.

 I'll try to keep the registry small, affordable, and only things we truly need. 

And I don't plan to tell anyone on my side about the registry unless they specifically ask me about it, because I don't expect people who've already given me a wedding gift to give me anything other than their congratulations this time around.

FI keeps joking about hurrying up to register. Honestly, I think it's the part of the wedding planning that he's the most excited about! But he is just joking (I think!).

We have plenty of stuff, but I'm sure there are a few things we could come up with. I won't tell anyone that we're registered unless they ask, though.

We weren't going to, but were strongly encouraged to by some family and friends.  We made a small registry at a local department store for our not so technologically advanced guests and we registered at a honeymoon website so we can play more on our honeymoon.

I am registering because guests will want to buy gifts. They will want to know what we like and need. Yes it is the 2nd time around.  I am most excited about getting married and spending time with my family though.
