I admit I'm out of touch. The bride's registries are pretty much kitchen and linen related. Am I able to pull from these lists for a nice wedding gift or are these gifts considered appropriate only for a shower? (I live pretty far from the bride and I doubt I will be going to a shower.) I prefer to give a gift than a check, but I was taught the kitchen stuff only goes to a shower. Not so anymore? Thanks--L

If these are the only items on her registry then I suppose that's all she wants. You don't have to buy from the registry though. Send the gift you'd like her to have. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Rather than guess (I don't know her well, other than her mother is very status conscious), I want to give the bride something she wants. I am afraid mom or grandma would declare dishware or linen a shower gift, even if it IS on the bride's registry. Apparently you have no hard rule on this to report. Thanks--L

Kitchen and linen are not just considered shower gifts anymore. In fact, some couples are even registering for power tools. So, there is no 'rule' about shower vs wedding type gifts.
Sometimes a bride will have a lingerie party hosted for her, but she wouldn't register for that anyway. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
