We have registered with Dillard's, even though we didn't plan to. My coworkers and his coworkers both want to plan a party and asked where I was registered. The party planner at my employer pushed me into registering. I haven't told anyone where we're registered. I don't want cash, I really don't want gifts - I feel like if you know us well enough to be invited to the wedding then you know what we need/want (Lowe's gift card, Dover Saddlery stuff for PePo, Woodcrafters toys, telescope stuff, etc...). We have everything for the house three times over, in good quality.
Is there any polite way to say that we'd rather have expendable, fun things like Outback gift cards, or Vino's (the local wine store) gift cards, or fun stuff like that? I don't know of a polite way to say that at the work functions. I can be more blunt with my family (I don't want any more stuff to sit in my ktichen I have to feel guilty over not using, please send food gifts LOL), but lots of people in our life are excited over this and we have some cool friends who want to do something.
What are my better options? Register for stuff I'd like to have and would never buy?
