My fiance' and I are both in our mid-40's, we have just purchased a home and have almost two of everything. We are having a private wedding, with just family, about a month after the wedding we are going to have an informal party at our home. This will be my first wedding, my fiance' has been married once before. I'm getting conflicting messages about registering. Do we or don't we register? What is the proper eqiuette for this?
Yes. You can register, but you wouldn't include this information in your invitations. Registering is just a nice way to let anyone who may want to give you something know what you would like.
There should be no showers either. But, it seems as if you know this.
I'm a bit confused here. Are you someone else using this person's name? The post began with a question, which I answered with the proper etiquette. This response doesn't match the person who first posed the question.
It is not tacky to register even if a person has what they need. This is to give direction to the person who wishes to give a gift. It isn't a request for a gift. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
Should We Register?
