We are getting married next month. This is a second wedding for both of us. It will be a destination wedding with just the two of us and we plan to have an informal reception/party when we return. We really don't need gifts but I realize that writing "no gifts" on the reception invitation would not be appropriate. Even with word of mouth, I realize that some friends/family will insist on getting us a gift, in fact, I think that a few friends are planning a suprise shower. Do I register to make it easier on those few guests to make a gift selection or will registering make people assume that I expect a gift?

Re: [naybug] Should I Register for Gifts for Second Wedding
[In reply to]
Dear Naybug-
It's fine to register for gifts for a second wedding, especially if you will be having a shower. But remember that those who gave for the first wedding are not obligated to give again. Go ahead and register but note that you should not list registry information in the wedding invitation. You can let those who ask know verbally.
