All along, my FI and I had not planned on registering. We've been living together for 3 years and don't feel the need to upgrade what we have, and we also move frequently because of our jobs - usually to tiny apartments - so we don't really have room to store various kitchen appliances or fine china, etc. that we're not going to use very often. I'm also not having a shower. We don't expect people to bring/give gifts, and if they asked about registering, we told our parents that they could spread the word that we are "saving for our honeymoon." I thought my parents were fine with that until a few weeks ago, when they told me that made them uncomortable, that it was rude to basically tell guests to give cash, and that some people just like to give a "real present." So I think we're going to do a small-ish registry at BB&B for people who want to go that route. Long story short, we're really struggling to come up with things to add...I saw that BB&B have those fountain water bowls for pets and our vet recently recommended we get one for our 2 cats. (They run about $40.) FI thought we might get side-eyed by people for asking for pet things. Any thoughts on the etiquette there? Forgetting pet supplies, will people think it's odd if our registry consists of a lot of disjointed, and mostly relatively inexpensive, items? (ie, a new shower curtain liner, a new bathmat, etc) FI thinks we should just go out and get these items ourselves now since we need them, but otherwise I'm at a loss for what to put on the registry...Sorry - this is way longer than it probably needs to be. Any advice would be appreciated!
