What to register for if already have household stuff and not taking a honeymoon?

Where ever you decide to register, please do NOT put it on the invite. How about registering for upgrades to things you already have? New sheets, kitchen appliances, etc.

ETA: Based on other responses, I retract my comment about the registry info on the invite. I had always thought it wasn't ok to put it anywhere besides the wedding website or just spread it by word of mouth. Thanks WW =D

Honestly I think it's ok for a shower invitation to have the registry info on there

but not a wedding invitation.

Is there really no house hold items you need to upgrade? I find that hard to believe.

I actually think it's okay to put registry information on a bridal shower invitation, just not okay for the wedding invitation. I would make a small registry for upgraded items for your home, I'm sure there are some things that you might need by now!

You can add the registry information to the shower invite. Perfectly acceptable. Register for upgrades - most people can use new towels, linens, better silverware, fun kitchen gadgets, entertainment serving dishes, etc. If you truly can't figure out anything to register for, don't have a shower.

Registry on the shower invites is fine; that's what it's for.

upgrades! silverware, towels, cooking stuff......

go for Amazon; you can register for everything...books....music.....

We didn't register anywhere, so my aunt and cousins threw us a luncheon in lieu of a shower. We did still receive a few physical gifts, but really have no place to put them. We also have zero need for upgrades (we're 38 and 41 - and have worked and saved for a while so just buy stuff when we want it). We recently combined households and have two toasters, two blenders, two coffee makers, two immersion blenders, etc. I myself had probably a dozen sets of high thread count sheets and more sets of towels than I know what to do with between home and my vacation home - so I understand really not needing anything.

We considered a registry at REI for fun outdoors things, but we really don't need any more stuff.

If you do register, you could maybe request that items be shipped directly to you?

We registered at REI because we spend every chance we get outside camping, kayaking, etc and that's the stuff we would get the most enjoyment out of. We didn't want all this money spent on us to get new versions of stuff we already had

Upgrade some stuff!!!

Ask for gift cards

You never have enough good towels. Like quality 5 star hotel towels. Really amazing towels cost like $40. Have you ever purchased really good bed sheets? Like the really good kind. That cost like $200 for the flat sheet, $250 for the fitted sheet, $100 for a pillow case? If you haven't well let me tell you they feel like a dream. I'd love if someone got us a second set. Because honestly spending $600 on a second set sheets is beyond me. These post always get me because once you figure out how much the good stuff cost I'd take the opportunity receive it.

My friend who just got married signed up for thjis and she said it was awesome.

Your guest can donate $$ for your future trip, adventures, home improvements and etc.

Everything we have is from FH's first wedding registry so we are getting new dishes and glasses, etc. we just bought a house as well so we are registering for some decor but nothing expensive for that.

My favorite item is the Ninja Coffee Bar. I don't expect to get it since it's expensive but if I get any gift cards it'll go towards that.

Please do not do what Rachel suggested. Please. It's very rude to ask for money from your guests.

Purple sheets.

Why have a shower if you aren't registered? Thats all a shower is for. Decline the shower, if you aren't going to register. It's not rocket science.

If your not going to register let your friend know to tell everyone no gifts. Otherwise register for small (like physically small since you have to pack them) items. Or plan on getting a bunch of sh*t you don't want.

Keep in mind - if she puts registry info on the invitation, and people buy from that list, they will bring the gifts to the shower. So, you still end up with the issue of getting them home.

PS...one does not have to have a registry for a bridal shower. Many times, the shower is themed.

Stock the Bar Shower

Pamper the Bride Shower

Lingerie Shower

Etc.

I agree with all the suggestions to consider a registry that has a few upgraded items to replace things you have.

I also agree with doing a hobby registry. I've heard of couples who are into outdoor sports that have registered at REI. If this isn't something you and FH enjoy together, think about other hobbies the two of you share. Do you both love board games? You could set up a small registry that only has games on it and you could also ask your shower host to incorporate that into your shower theme.

You could also ask for a recipe themed shower and request that your gift be a recipe card from each guest with their favorite recipe written down for you.

If you're concerned about only having so much space to travel with your shower gifts, be aware of the size of the items you are placing on your registry. Don't register for things that will take up too much space.

You have NOTHING you want to upgrade? After 10 years I'm sure some things that you've had for awhile are worn out or there are newer/nicer models out there. You have NO need for sheets or towels? You have NOTHING that you would like or use or even like to have for special occasions but wouldn't spend the money on it yourself?
