We didn't really want to register either... we've both been living on our own for years and don't really "need" anything, and since people are flying to Mexico for the wedding, we didn't want to register for gifts too. But this thread is helpful... I'm still 4 months from the wedding and people are already asking me if we're registering. We are doing a reception at home a month or two after the wedding, so now we're leaning towards registering, but trying to think of a way to ask those coming to Mexico to not buy gifts, since they're taking a vacation to celebrate with us.
