2Nd marriage registry

Kerin, on July 10, 2019 at 11:08 PM Posted in Registry 0 6
We are both getting married for the 2nd time, and we're 35(me) and 45(fh), so is it acceptable to even have a registry? We just combined households, so we don't need much, but we are looking to get decor items for our new house together and new dishes, etc, because we tend to host all the family gatherings for holidays. I had started a wishlist in amazon for the stuff we plan to buy. Is it in poor taste to include that wishlist as a registry with our invitations?

    It’s fine to have a registry but registry information never goes in a wedding invitation. If someone offers to host a shower for you they registry info can be on the shower invite. Or it can be linked on a wedding website or spread by word of mouth.

    Typically I’ve heard you don’t have a registry for a second wedding, but I think it’s fine to have a small one. Just don’t include info with invites, only spread word of mouth or on a wedding website. Also instead of a wishlist, do the actual amazon registry, it’s much easier to use.

    Ok. The last wedding I went to, registry info was on a business card that came in the envelope with the invitation and rsvp card😉 that's what I meant to say, sorry for the confusion! We aren't having a shower, so I will probably nix the whole idea.

    Gotcha. Yeah they had incorrect etiquette! I mostly see cash or checks given at weddings in a card so I would expect you would get some money to purchase those things.

    Yes, it's fine to have a registry even though this isn't your first marriage. Your loved ones still want to celebrate your new life together with this person. However, you shouldn't put any registry information with your wedding invitations. This information is usually spread by word of mouth, listed on your website, and/or included in your shower invitations. This was a second marriage for both of us and our loved ones threw us a couple's shower. We registered at Macy's, Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn and received nearly everything we registered for.

    Perfectly fine! Amazon even has a wedding registry function I am also using!
    If mailing the information I would do the business card insert idea you mentioned.
