Wedding Registry..

shano06 · August 2012

Honestly, do I have to.?? Come wedding time, FI and I will have been living together for a year and 2 weeks. We pretty much have everything, and by that time, everything will still be new. Anything that we won't have, we plan on buying within the next couple of months, like pictures and stuff for these bare walls. There's nothing else to put on our registry. I vote for us just taking cards. Idk. What are you doing.??

So FI and I have been living together for the last year and 4 months or so. We have actually avoided buying certain things, just so we could give our guests the option of buying us a gift if they would like. E.g. I really need a new bathroom set but I have just been giving it the side eye for the past year..lol. I say don't have registry if you really don't want to. But if you choose to have one, save it for things like the cusinart mixer, or the expensive pot set, new sheets or towels. When your guests see the small registry they will probably get the point that you really don't want anything and might choose to give you cash or gift cards. In my opinion, you should always give your guests the option to purchase a gift for you, if not they will probably end up buying a random item.

Hey Shano! FI and I opted to not do a registry because we will be combining two complete households. Check your PM by the way

I wasnt going to do a registry until the old folks started complaining about it. I purposly put only very expensive items on it so it be cheaper for them to give me what I wanted to begin with,..... cash.

I did put a few things I wanted that were luxurious like some expensive buffet chafing dishes and two heaters for the outside patio, I wanted bug zappers but I didnt see them. I put the dyson vaccum on there... yea that $500 one and a new bed set with matching curtains. It can never hurt to change the feel of the room around.

Personally even if Im gonna head strait to macys with the money, I enjoy doing the shopping myself

I did a small registry because not everyone is comfortable giving money. They may feel they can afford the $24 can opener but can't afford to give $100 in a card. When I go to weddings I always buy from the registry. I figured if people take time to do then I can at least get them something off of it. I would do a small one so that you give people a choice.

Cha - YGPM.!

FI and I will definitely have to talk more about it. After reading what you guys are doing, a small one would be okay, butjust to give people a choice. We would really just have to sit down and see if its anything we need. If anything it will be back-up things like more bedspreads or towels. FI see's it as one less thing to worry about if we don't do it. So its going to take some more conersation.

We aren't doing a registry. We decided to do a wishing well. We are including a poem about the wishing well with the invitation.
