We are inviting 150 people to our October wedding and are expecting around 120 to show. Currently we are registered at BBB & Williams Sonoma. I feel like I have registered for everything that we want, and we are only at 64 items (including 12 sets of china...). Assuming most of the people we are inviting are couples, this seems like enough since couples will bring one gift but in reality am I not giving our guests enough options? I don't want to register for stuff we don't want/need. Everything we are registering for is kitchen stuff- I don't want towels, sheets etc because those are things that are replaced often and honestly I always think "tacky" when I see those items on registeries. How do I deal with this??
Save the dates are going out this week, which have our wedding website on them, which contains links to our registeries...so I want to make sure this is right.

[QUOTE]Agree with PP, you can stop if you want. But sheets and towels aren't tacky. I think it's really strange that you feel that way.

Still don't get what's tacky about it, though. I have seen some weird opinions about what is tacky to register for and what is not, but this seems to be the strangest.
Anyway, I wouldn't add to the registry if I were you.
They have sheets that are about 25 years old.
And they CERTAINLY have blankets in regular use that were wedding gifts. At their vacation home, they have lots of Grandma's things. Some of those blankets may have been in the family for longer than my parents have been married.
Really hard. But I wanna do that because I want you

[QUOTE]I'm dying to know why you think registering for towels and sheets is tacky. Don't mean it in a bad way, but I'm racking my brain here and can't figure out why someone would think that.

<div>I guess I am hard on my towels and sheets but I usually replace them every 5 years or so. I feel like wedding gifts should last for a long time. I didn't realize I was alone in my feelings, haha! Awkward!!</div>
