Sheesh. I belong here for 24 hours and I've already posted two questions ... halp.
Some background: My fiancee is a food photographer. As such, we are kind of drowning in kitchen/cooking items. We have even the most useless kitchen equipment (who needs a strawberry pitter, or a cabinet of food processors ... ?!)
So, in essence, we really need nothing for the house. We've lived together for three-ish years now, and we've basically purchased for ourselves every household item we need, down to the last hand towel. We want to do some minor repairs to the condo, but that's obviously not something you ask for (although we would use any money we receive toward such things). Otherwise, we're not sure what to register for, or even to register at all.
My idea was to register for honeymoon stuff through
Honeyfund or
Wanderable (we love to travel, and though we'll likely go on a honeymoon anyway, it would be wonderful to offset the costs). But my mother made some passing reference to guests paying for a honeymoon being considered "bad etiquette" by my grandmother; she said guests expect to help you furnish your new home.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on honeymoon registries? Are they in poor taste?
And second question, if we don't do a honeymoon registry, what do we do instead? Is it in poor taste to simply not register, as that might make it seem like we just want envelopes of cash?
Thanks much!
