  [QUOTE]My fiance and I are getting married in a private ceremony with no guests. Some of our close friends are hosting a Celebration party for us to celebrate with all of our friends the month after we're married. Is it appropriate or not to register for gifts? Some of our friends WANT us to register. However we don't know if it will be rude to do so. Thoughts?

  <div>Registries are for weddings and showers.  You have having neither, so I would skip it.  </div><div>
  </div><div>If you do register, keep it to yourself, and only respond when asked.  Make sure it doesn't go on a website or invitation.  </div>

  If you're friends are asking you to do it, then there's no one to offend.  I say do it and give the info to whoever wants to know.  Tradition for tradition's sake only is a little much to me.

  I'm having a small wedding- only immediate family is invited.  I'm going to do one small registry.  My girl friends are throwing a small shower.  My family may also do some sort of celebration after the wedding and honeymoon, once we have pictures back.  I won't be announcing that I'm registered, but will share if someone asks.

  Since people have already asked, then do a small registry but only give that information to people who ask for it. Do not go around just telling people "oh, btw, we are registered at store x". Also do not put any registry information in the party invitations.

  [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Celebration Party/Registry : She IS having a wedding, just a private ceremony with no guests.  I believe that still counts as a wedding.  Hopefully what you meant to say is...Registries are meant for weddings and showers and since you are not inviting guests to your wedding you don't get a shower.

  <div>You are right.  I mis-spoke (typed).  I should have said that she is having a wedding, but without guests.  </div><div>
  The point was that you don't register for a housewarming, or a party after you get married, or an anniversary, or a birthday, and so forth.  </div>

  why are people so timid to recieve abundance and gifts- you're friends are asking you, how lovely! Congrats on your wedding and your generous friends! Now, go register

  Also, since you said your friends are hosting, let them know because people will probably be asking them. At the very least let the hosts know where you might enjoy gift cards from.
