Second Weddings

Are showers and/or gifts appropriate?

My family is full of party planners and gift givers, we get together probably once a month for a party for someone. His family gets together every couple of months to celebrate birthdays where kids get gifts, adults get cards and everyone gets cake! We both love that we get to see our extended families so often.
I have had a couple of people ask where I'm registered, making me think that some will be getting us wedding gifts. I have also had 3 offers of a wedding shower. Don't get me wrong,I love parties and gifts but as I've gotten older, I don't expect them. We started a small registry after a few people asked ( I know not to put it on the invite) but should we have one at all? Should I say yes to any of the people that offered a shower?
It's both of our 2 marriages, I'm not sure if that makes a difference to the answers.

  • Yes!  Register for things you both like and enjoy your shower.  Congratulations to you!

  • Thank you! I love that I can read about and ask questions here, you guys save my fiance, family and friends from a lot of wedding questions. I'm trying to stay low key and pretend that I have other interests besides marrying the best guy ever and planning a wedding and reception that we will all have a good time at.
  • This isn't either of our first marriages eithre and we look at it like we are still entitled to the same happiness of weddings and parties as someone who is getting married for the first time. Enjoy your parties
