Do I really need a gift registry? Opinions Please

I have been on my own for almost 20 years and this is not my first marriage. Most of our families are coming from accross the country for our wedding. I feel that this is a big enough burden on them so I don't feel comfortable registering. On the other hand, my friend got married a couple of months ago and didn't do a registry. It was a big pain for me because I really wanted to get her something that she truely wanted. Any suggestions?

    Try a registry with amazon.com or travelersjoy.com - I think there's another one, too... you can register for stuff for your HM or whatever other things you guys might use instead of just home stuff. But no, you don't *have* to have one. It does make things easier for some of your guests, though.

    I think for the reason you mentioned above, you may want to consider having one.  I know you probably have much of what you need, but look at this as an opportunity to maybe upgrade or get new!  I agree you definitely don't *have* to, but I know as a guest I tend to rely on those registries.  I don't really have a problem giving money, but I do know some people who really just don't feel comfortable going that route, so if you have those types of guests not having one may make it frustrating for them.  =/

    Another thought - a friend of mine registered at Target when she and her H were getting married, and they registered for board games and things they'd use when they had company over, in place of dishes and towels and crap like that. Go for fun stuff, too! :)
