My fiance feels that registering for gifts are for couples just starting out from scratch, who just bought a house/going to buy a house and need to fill it up. Well we already own a house and have PLENTY to fill it up. Looking on wedding registry sites does make me feel like "oh I would love a new *insert appliance name here*". We're both older (well 37 & 40) and neither has been married before. He knows that I have always dreamed of my wedding and all the planning that comes with it (like registering)...but he does make a good point...we don't NEED anything from BB&B or Macy's. But we DO need money (who doesn't - especially those of us planning a wedding???). So now we are trying to figure out a polite way to not ask for material gifts.
Has anyone NOT registered? How can I mention on the invitations that if guests are going to give a gift...money is prefered instead of a mixer?? I don't want to come off as being greedy.....
