Hi again! We settled on where to register, now we're looking at what.
As fall/the holidays approach, I've been thinking more about this: I love decorating and I love hosting gatherings. It brings me absolute joy. My parents aren't into it as much as I am, so I fully expect and am looking forward to being the house that everyone goes to for winter holidays, the 4th of July, etc. As a result, I'd like to build up a collection of (and register for) some seasonal stuff - I'm talking rust-colored towels for the fall, red and evergreen for Christmas, etc. I imagine I'll also need stuff for a guest bedroom and bathroom as well (again, for 3-4 seasons - fall, Christmas, 'regular' (shades of blue for me), and a touch of red white and blue).
Here's the problem....I don't envision my 'final form' (LOL) being for another 3-4 years. We currently live in a fairly small 2BR, 1BA apartment (@700-ish sf) in my home state. We are planning to be here for a few years before moving back across the country to the place where we met/he's from. My parents plan to follow eventually. We won't buy a house until we move back.
But seeing as the wedding is the ONE chance to register for stuff....do I ask for things I won't be able to use for a few years, then move it all across the country? Where do I store it in the meantime?
Same deal with bedding - we have a full size bed. Do I ask for queen sheets, because we'll get one eventually? Do I ask for stuff for a guest bedroom we don't have yet? Tablecloths for a larger table than we have now?
Thanks!
