My second marriage and registering

Hey Ladies!!!  OK..so here's my question.  I'm a second time bride getting married in March 2011.  I'm really confused as to what we should do about registering.  This is my hubby to be's first marriage so he is very much for it.  I have check out a few websites and most say you can.  I'm just totally confused!!!  Help!!!

  • I think it is okay.  I am not sure what the rules are about having a shower for a second wedding, but you can always register.

    Many people prefer to give gifts instead of cash and registries help your guests know what you like/need.

    As long as you let people know by word-of-mouth (not on any of your invites) - I can't see a problem here.

    Congrats!
  • IMO I think its fine to register, you will want/need items to celebrate your new life with your FI

  • Some people are very opposed to registries for second weddings, but since it's your FI's first I think it would be ok.  You should probably skip a shower though.

  • I don't think anyone should register for second/third/fourth/whatever marriages. The point of a registry is to fill your new home with things you don't have (the assumption being you haven't been married before). You've obviously already registered and received gifts from another wedding, so it is tacky to do the whole wedding process over again (including registering, showers, and a lavish wedding).
  • I think it is fine for you to register for wedding gifts, especially since it is your FI's first wedding.  However, I agree you should probably skip the shower since you had one already and you will probalby be asking most of your friends/family to buy you a second wedding shower present, which I do think is asking a bit much.  However, if you friends/family really want to throw you a shower, then just go wtih the flow!  You just want to avoid coming across as asking for lots of gifts the second time around.

    Congrats by the way!

  • This is my 2nd wedding and I'm registering. It's my fiance's first.

    My first wedding was right out of high school and didn't last long, we got divorced during college.  I barely even consider the first a marriage.

    The only people that will be at my 2nd wedding that were also at my 1st are my parents. Most people don't even know I was married before.

    Even if it is your second wedding, it's still a wedding and your guests will still want to bring gifts, so I think it's perfectly fine to have a registry!
