little registry help please

I have lots of time to sort registry but wasnt sure if i should set one up. I am getting married where i live now (ireland) and some lovely family and friends will be making the trek over. I know how much of an expense it will be and was wondering if my FI and I should still make a small registry. FI and I have lived together for 2 years now so we have most things you would get off a registry. I dont want my friends and family to spend a lot of money to come over then feel they need to buy us a gift.

    If there are things you want, then make a small registry. People may still want to get you a small gift, or those who won't be attending might want to send something. Even if I spend money on a DW, I still want to give some sort of gift, even if it's smaller than what I would normally give. So I would appreciate a registry so I had some guidance as to what you liked/wanted.

    Trust me. No one feels that they NEED to buy you a gift. They will do so because they want to.

    I think it would be fine if you created a small registry of some "upgrade" items at a well-known store like Macys (you can do it online). Macys will also ship internationally, which would make things easier for everyone.

    Apologises for the phrase 'feel they need to buy us a gift'. i re-read it as it was bolded and it came across quite greedy. Of course guests have the choice to purchase a gift or not. Thank you for your advice. I may consider some possible 'upgrade' items sooner to the time.
