Registering for wedding gifts when not having a bridal shower
I have a question regarding bridal shower etiquette. Everywhere I have looked says the same thing - "Don’t invite anyone to a shower who won’t be invited to the wedding."
My sister is having a small intimate destination wedding. It will be for immediate family only. They will not be having a reception when they return. I know that our extended family would love to celebrate and some will ask if they are registered. While I do not think a regular bridal shower would be appropriate, do have any ideas about how we could handle this? Would you suggest the bride and groom register and not have a shower. This way, family members and friends who do want to buy a gift can do so and those that do not, will not feel obligated. Thank you for your help.

Of course they may register, because some may want to give the couple a wedding gift even if not invited to the wedding. But, this information is never mentioned unless people ask.
