[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For our wedding, we just didn't register.  We made no mention of gifts.  By not registering anywhere for anything, people could either give a gift if they wanted of their choosing or give cash.  Out of 150 people we got 1 bowl and 1 tablecloth.  The rest was cash.  Guess it was easier for the guest than having to pick out something on their own.[/quote]

Just curious.  Are you Jewish or Italian?  WASPs tend to send boxed gifts (they should be mailed in advance).  The only check we received was from a Jewish friend.[/quote]

Jewish :).  Born and raised in Rockville as was DH.  But our families our from NYC and LI.[/quote]

I like this posters idea of just not registering.  It is far better than asking for anything, anyway.  I was the poster who said this is regional - if you ask me, the region where the wedding takes place, or the background of the bride should be taken into consideration, if the guests really give a flying care.  If not, its fine - but registering because someone "expects" or "wants" you to is BS.  Its the bride and grooms day, no one else's.  But in reality, you learn a LOT about guests during weddings and funerals!   :shock:  Many have a problem with it being their day instead of yours.
