Where are you registering and why?

[TammyB]

That is a great idea about registering for a rescue group. But Cain is so against registering for anything so we told Cain's Ma if anyone asks tell them to give us Cash or a gift card to Home Depot. But were not doing anything official

Brett was really against registering too. I finally got through to him by explaining that if we didn't pick a few things then people would get us stuff we didn't want - like lime green sheets or a crappy brand of pan. We really just want everyone to donate to the charity - but I know some people will feel like that's not a real gift for us and get us something else so we are registering for a few things.

Kate, you can actually register for a charity!

Donation Registries

Sorry - my message wasn't clear. We did register for a charity. Actually, it's the only registry we have so far. I just meant that I know some of the old-fashioned guests won't feel like that is a real gift and will get us other stuff so we are registering at a couple stores.

We are registered at Create and Barrel and Bed Bath & Beyond. We have lived together for some time now, but need an upgrade on things.

you can always do a honeymoon registry...but it only works if you tell people about it or post on your website...

I know you can do a travel registry (see Tammy's post above). My photog. also said she has one, so that people can contribute to the cost of the photographs (Leigh Miller). I don't have the links on hand, but I know there are also registries where people can give $$ towards the down payment to a house. Let me look for some ... ok, didn't find any right away, but here's an artile - Honeymooners Become Home Owners - I think a lot of banks will set this up for you.

 

Paul and I aren't registering since people will spend so much to be at our wedding. And I've been married before, and we just both have a lot of crap!

we have lived together for about 5 yrs now and we went ahead and registered...it is a very short registry at target...we dont need a lot of stuff...but we do need nice plates, and silverware...

We aren't registering anywhere either, I feel a bit guilty about everyone having to pay so much to go to our wedding, but also we combined two households so have so much extra stuff anyway!

We didn't want to register either - we both have pretty much everthing we need - but my mom made me. We just started a small one at Macy's and might to do some stuff at Crate & Barrel. I like Target too, but like people have mentioned, their stock changes so often. Every time I've gone to get someone's registry there, most of their stuff is no longer available. I love the idea of a charity, thanks for sharing.
