[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're setting up our registry - what were some of the best gifts you received? What are things that you still use after many years?
What are common registry items that you never ended up using?
TIA![/quote]

Great question, OP!

DH and I were settled in our mid 20's, lived in a small place, and literally needed nothing.  We paid for our own wedding, gladly. We only asked that guests show up happily and enjoy themselves. My family already knew we needed nothing, and like other PPs, I am from a cash is the gift for almost all life milestones family.

MIL insisted that we register, so DH and I went to (high end store my mom and I liked) then transferred the list to a different store that MIL was familiar with.  The only thing DH and I could finally come up with (that actually was not frivolous) was people chipping in for a video camera. One of my parents was on their death bed, and we were going to their home country for our honeymoon.  We brought back priceless photos of the family, thankfully. It was before iPhones, and a lot of other every day conveniences we now have, but the photos were and are priceless.

To answer your question, OP. Most people do not need decorative items. If you think you will use the china, crystal and flatware, go ahead and register for it. Do not register for anything you do not 100% want or need. It is your day, not someone else's.
