My fiance and I are planning on having a planned elopement with no family or friends present. Our families are spread out in a number of different cities and we would like to have multiple small receptions/parties after the actual wedding. Friends have already asked me if I have registered but since I'm not inviting them to the actual wedding, should I register or ven expect gifts?
You can certainly register and if anyone asks you can tell them your gift registry. Just do not include the registry information on an invitation. You should never expect gifts, even if you are having a grand wedding recption with hundreds of guests. An invitation is not asking for gifts but asking for a guest to attend a special event. If a guest would like to give a gift they may do so but it is not manadory. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
