Hello, fellow Junies! I'm wondering if any of you have gotten around to registering for gifts yet. If so, do you and your FI live together and are you registering for all new things?
My FI and I both moved into our own places a few years ago, when we were dating. Now that we are engaged, we have two sets of relatively new everything, this includes cookware, beds, furniture, exercise equipment - you name it! I'm conflicted about registering for new items because it seems wasteful to discard the things we already have, but if I don't register for new things, I'm not sure what to register for! We could always register for fun things like camping equipment, but I don't want to seem greedy or frivolous. Have any of you meet with this same issue and how are you addressing it?
Re: Registries
Thanks for the support and advice everyone! An update, we went to Target to start scanning things and my worries went out the window. It's so meaningful to be able to choose things that are "ours" in stead of "mine" and "yours". We ended up registering for a few new versions of things we already have but use a lot (like plates and pans) and we registered for a few more of the same towels we already have since they match the bathroom so nicely. I think I know some people who would love some of our gently used things and the rest can be kept as backups or go to goodwill.
