Registry questions

I have no idea what I'm doing... We're having a VERY intimate ceremony with a very huge reception/celebration. Do we still register for those who want to give a gift?

    soo, you're having a small ceremony and large reception?  As in 20-30 people at the ceremony and then 100+ at the reception?  Seems a little backwards to me, like 'you're good enough to party with me and give me a gift, but not good enough to watch me get married'.  Maybe if you could explain more?

    I don't know why you wouldn't register.  It's polite to the guests who are nice enough to give you a gift even if they weren't invited to your ceremony.

    Brassyclarinet, I think you have it backwards.  It's cool to have an intimate ceremony and then throw a big bash, but not vice versa, imo.

    Of course you can register.  Just do not include registry info on invited.  Spread it via word of mouth.

    Brassy: how on earth is that backwards?  Would it be better if she invited 200+ to the ceremony and only 20 to the reception?
