Register for exercise equipment?

Shirley, on September 17, 2020 at 9:29 AM Posted in Registry 1 7

FH and I had our wedding plans really ruined by the pandemic, and we have had a hard time enjoying planning or being excited. One thing that felt so normal for me was making my registry. My family urged me to make one even though we can't send out invites for the foreseeable future, and it felt like even with the pandemic, that experience was completely normal. I had so much fun picking things out for my future home and family!

FH wasn't as interested in the registry. He thinks the stuff we have now is fine and he didn't really have any decorating ideas (his aesthetic is utility lol). He was a good sport, but it definitely wasn't the relief for him that it was for me.

One thing he wants that we don't have is exercise equipment. He loves working out, and I thought this might be a fun thing for him to register for. Nothing he wants would be inappropriately expensive (free weights, mats, a bench).

Is it okay to register for exercise equipment?

    You can register for whatever you want. People will only buy what they are comfortable with so don’t worry about that. If you already have what you need then go for it.

    I agree these are great registry items.... I also love your description of his "utility" aesthetic! Smiley winking I've been married to a "utility" man for 30+ years!

    I say go for it! There are lots of people that don't like buying the typical wedding gifts and would rather gift you something more practical. This is the exact reason we were given tools from some people who knew that my husband couldn't have cared less about the china we registered for.

    Definitely! I actually want to register for a Peloton but we don’t have any room in our apartment. If certain guests prefer to only gift you more traditional gifts, they can just pick something else off your registry.
