When I registered I gave my shipping address as my mom's house. Is this wrong?

    It's not "wrong".  As long as you and your FI are fine with everything getting shipped there,

    On most registries, you can block your address for privacy anyway (which I recommend doing so not just anyone can find it). No one will probably know.

    We will defintely do that. We each live in condo buildings without doormen, so it's too high risk for stolen packages.
    Even so, in even the nicest communities you don't want a pile of boxes sitting on your porch while you're at work.

    That's what we did. We were in the process of moving, and our choices were DH's nosy-as-shit grandmother (hell no) or my parents. They went to my parents' house, my parents opened them and told me what they were, I wrote the thank-yous. No one knew that the gifts didn't come directly to us.

    We're having ours shipped to my parents' house because my mom is more likely to be home now that she's retired. We're house-hunting and not really sure where we'll be in three months let alone nearly a year from now when the wedding occurs. And my fiance's father works long hours/travels a lot for work. So it seemed to be the best option for us!

    Ugh. I don't know what we're going to do with ours. We live 4 states away so what we get for the wedding we don't want immediately will stay in PA, but currently I have it as our shipping address. Might have to change it to my parents but I would love to be the ones to get the presents so might leave it. At my parents' house they just leave packages at the doorstep. Here, since we live in an apartment we get a package slip in our box and pick it up at the post office. I feel like this is the safest thing to do. We're most likely going to open a P.O. box at the post office closest to our work and put that address as it would be easier to pick packages up there.

    That is what we did with ours once I moved out of my apartment and was in transition between moving in with my husband. Once time got close enough ( we were moving from Texas to North Carolina) we switched it over to our new address). I don't think it's a problem, it'll just be a hassle getting everything into one place.
