| I have had people asking me if we are registering. I was told people from the church we go to want to buy us gifts but we haven't registered. We officially moved in together in April, but it isn't a first marriage. I am not the kind of person that needs alot of things and I am kind of fussy (ok alot). So I don't know if I should and if I do how do I do this? My friend lived with her husband for 4 years before they got married she have 2 showers, a stag and registered. I am confused. Is registering asking people for gifts? (OK I only want these things?), if people buy us something that is great but I am not expecting gifts. What is the correct thing to do?
Getting married, then having a reception months later.

| I don't think a registry necessarily means your asking for gifts, your more like giving ideas to people if they choose to buy you something. I don't expect anything from my registry to be purchase but I liked knowing that if someone does by me something it is something I more wanted since I asked for it, but that doesn't mean I wont like a gift that isn't on my registry. I personally like it when I have to go to a wedding/shower or whatever and they have a registry because I find it helpful in and useful as the buyer on knowing what to buy, also I can see what other people have purchased so I don't buy something someone else already got them. Its really up to you in the end so if feel you don't want one then don't have one.

Second marriage for me, and yes we did registries because many people asked. We felt funny about it at first, but not afterwards. Just make sure you select lower priced items as well, so people have a choice and can look at items in their price range. It definitely helps if people wants to buy you towels/sheets/dishes etc., because they will have your colours, and that is personal. In my DH's family, many gave us $, but most of the friends bought from our registries and a few of my relatives. I'd go for it so people have a choice.
Finally married on June 23, 2007  Still popping in once in awhile to say hello http://barbandmike.weddingannouncer.com/welcome.html
