Okay so fiance really wants to register somewhere (for tools, and other things we need for the house we just bought but aren't on traditional registries). I've been looking at other boards and reading responses that you can do it at Sears and maybe Lowes & Home Depot? My question is this: if we do this when do we get these gifts? I know this sounds like a silly question but if we get them at a bridal shower, shouldn't he be there to except them? I'm sorry but I would not be all that excited about getting hammers and saws. And it seems to me that most people bring cards to the actual wedding. Should I just do it and see what happens?
PS the reason we're registering so early is because we just bought a house and some people have been asking us if we registered for house warming gifts.. so we did a couple of weeks ago!
