My FI's best friends (husband and wife) want to throw us a honey-do shower. I am just not sure what to expect with this and what etiquette is involved. MOH is already throwing a bridal shower and co-workers another so I know that his friends want to have something to include him and I am totally on board with that. However, I was trying to research this type of shower a little bit and can't seem to find out anything as far as what to expect. My FI LOVES tools and he's a total handyman, so I know this sort of thing would be appealing to him. But he is asking to register for this stuff and to me that seems inappropriate. We have two registries now. One at Bed Bath and Beyond for the out of towners and one at a local boutique for our dishes and crystal and that sort of thing. I hate to open another registry for just tools and such but at the same time, FI has a shop worth of stuff already so I know he would want to get stuff he needed and not like 6 hammers for example. I also read that you shouldn't duplicate shower guests so I am not sure who they are planning to invite. I don't want them to invite the same people and make me feel like we're soliciting multiple gifts from our family and friends. But I am not planning this thing and it's his friends, so I feel I should stay out of it. But does anyone know what to do for this sort of shower? Am I being weird? I mean is registering for the man gifts acceptable? I live in the South, so I am trying to be a stickler for etiquette LOL Please help!
