Here is my trouble I have lived with FI for 6 years during this time if we needed something for the house we either bought it, saved up and bought it, or asked for it for Christmas. As a result I was looking at a list of things that we should register for and I realized that other than upgrading a couple small appliances and wine glasses we need nothing and anything we get will just take up space we really do not have. Before anyone asks I am not trying to think up a way to just ask for money that isn't it just I know someone must be in a similar situation and I do not know what to do. FI thinks we should just not register he suggested if we did we should register for gift cards which I shot down, but I am afraid not registering will lead to us getting 12 toasters and 15 cookie jars in the shape of roosters. About three quarters of the invitees, I believe, know our situation well enough to understand but the other quarter and really it may be as much as half are cousins who we see as little as once a decade or something. Short of writing "your attendance is gift enough for us" on the invites I do not know what we could do.
