Wedding registry questions, for MARRIED people?

Here's the great thing about registries: most offer you a discount on the stuff left on the list after your wedding date so its not a bad idea to put any/every-thing you might like on the list. So long as there are a variety of price ranges, its really no big deal how many items you add.

Honestly, I look at the price ranges of peoples registries to determine if the list is reasonable or unreasonable, not the # of items on the list.

I actually had my main registry at Macy's and they did a rewards program where we got a giftcard after the wedding based on a percentage of what people spent on our registry items so I used that giftcard with my 10% "after the wedding" discount to buy a few things we hadn't gotten -- I got a flour sifter (I love to bake), a new teapot, and a set of "everyday" dishes that nobody had purchased off the registry. I really didn't "need" any of the other items that were left, but would have happily used them if anyone had bought them for us.

We got around 10 per cent of the stuff on our registry... Many old school types will just get you a crystal candy dish anyway. We got 6. lol

It's nice to have a variety of prices of things- but 400 items seems like a LOT. You can also register for charities, which is nice! Or people can give money for you to spend on your honeymoon at honeymoonwishes.com

It's easiest to register for like cups and linens and stuff like that. It was nice to not have to buy all that stuff after the wedding. I think the thing we use the most that we registered for is a huge wok- I cook everything in it. Also we registered for wine- which turned out to be a good decision because after the wedding we felt like we had scrimp, so we couldn't afford good wine.

Don't worry about looking greedy- I doubt anybody will be thinking that. Personally, I really appreciate it when couples make it easy for you and give you lots of choices of what to get them! That way you know your gift won't end up on craigslist or at the thrift store :)

This is rather a first-class query. Up till round 1970 or so, persons had been busy perpetuating the parable that each one brides are virgins, and if now not then she is not rather a bride and has no industry having a marriage ceremony in any respect. That is the origina of the suggestion that the bridal registry must now not record units for the kids. However, I do not suppose someone might argue with the suggestion that the registry is for family units. No one items whilst sheets and curtains for the grownup bed room are at the registry, and don't seem to be the kids aspect of the family simply up to the adults are? That stated, I recommend couples to maintain in brain that SOME persons perhaps disillusioned to peer baby precise units at the registry, so it perhaps first-rate to stay extra usual units like bathtowels for the moment rest room. I suppose you provide an explanation for to the boy by way of announcing "I get offers given that it is MY marriage ceremony day. But I'm going to proportion."

We got married 43 yrs ago, and didn't do the registry thing at all. My boss and his wife gave us a trivet to put under hot dishes on the table. At first we thought it was a stupid gift. But we are still using it and when we were raising our children, we used it almost every day.

We got a four-in-one cooker. It has a grill, griddle, waffle maker, and sandwich press. We used it at least once a day when we first got married and still use it a few times a month. I wish I would have asked for a crock pot with a timer on it (so it will put itself on warm after a certain amount of time...)

It wasn't something I didn't get for my wedding, it was a Christmas gift from my husband. It was a toaster oven and when I opened it I thought why the heck did he get me this. It turned out we used it so much mainly for baking small items in the summer time to avoid heating up the house that we had to replace it.
