What can we do with our registry?

I live with my FH but right now we are living in a condo and plan on buying a house not too long after our wedding. We registered for a bunch of stuff for the house. We’re having everything shipped to my parents house to store there until we buy a house.

It’s never appropriate to ask for money. If you have a place to store it, registering for items for your future home would be fine. If you don’t want physical gifts, just don’t register.

My fiance and I registered for stuff we don't plan on using for a while. We currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment. We don't plan on buying a house for about 1.5 years so that is probably when we will use a lot of the stuff we registered for. That being said, I don't see any reason why you couldn't register for stuff and store it somewhere safe until you have a house.

Register for literally anything and everything! As long as you have a place to store it that is !

I asked for cash fund because I don't need any items for household. So I don't think it's wrong of you to. Also the registry is just a reference for guests they don't have to follow it.

My FH and I have almost 2 of everything, since we combined our homes. We'd both been living on our own for 8 or more years before we started dating, so we each had plenty of stuff.

So.... we didn't exactly need any house stuff. We instead made a zola registry (I've played with several but this was truly my favorite because you can customize so much of the items and it's so easy to add stuff from ANY store, instead of having a bunch of different registries). I added a few random things we'd like but dont need for the house. For example: a quilt I've been wanting from Belks. But the majority of our registry is for different "activities" for our honeymoon.

For instance, we added a day at an all inclusive resort that numerous people can chip in and pay towards. Some other activities added were a couple's massage, swimming with dolphins, jet ski rentals, etc. These are all things were going to do so we will just pay whatever doesn't get paid.

We also added random other things we will need for our honeymoon, like a big beach blanket, waterproof ID holder, etc.

We also made it very clear we didn't NEED anything but if someone insisted on or wanted to do something extra, they have that opportunity.

As long as you have storage for the items on your registry, you should be fine keeping them for the future
