Hello ladies.
Newly engaged and new to the knot! Just curious if its bad etiquette to register for electronics (say iPod dock/stereo) and tools? FI and I already live together and don't need a lot of common registry things (kitchen stuff etc).
Also any advice helps! Thanks!
Edit I should mention we are planning a 9-10 month engagement and will have approx 150 guests.
Re: Bad etiquette to register for...
Just make a small traditional registry of "upgrade" items that we all replace every few years, anyways. Even if you don't need them right now you certainly will use them as you build your life with FI.
Fancier sheets/towels
Duvet/cover
Knife Set
Pots/Pans
Bakeware
Serveware (think nice bowls, etc, for entertaining)
Wine glasses
I think it's fine if you put electronics or tools on your registry,
but a previous poster suggested a knife set.
Now THAT's a HUGE etiquette problem. You really can't give anyone a KNIFE SET as a wedding present. Even if they give you a penny in return - that's just odd and that's just a way to cover up that the giver really disregarded etiquette to begin with. See below:
