When is a registry considered not appropriate?

I would say yes, it's your chance to start your new life together and upgrade things from the previous marriage. it's a really beautiful part of conning together!

Were not doing a registry. We have a house and have been together for almost 4 yrs. My 2nd and his 3rd marriage so, don't think its appropriate.

There's nothing inappropriate about doing it-only in how you advertise it. Put it on your wedding website if you have one, and tell people about it only when asked. If you aren't putting it in your invitations or otherwise basically forcing it on people, telling them "Give me all the things!" then it's not tacky.

Today’s world is different and it is appropriate for all brides, to have a registry. It does not matter if this is your first or fifth. On the registry I would place items that are upgrades on what you have. Everyone can use more towels, sheets, etc. make this a wish list.
there will always be people who wish to provide a gift instead a card with money. A registry allows you to assist them in giving you a gift you are wanting jnstead
of them just getting you what they feel is right.

A registry is not to get people to give you gifts, it's to let people who already want to give you gifts know what you would like. So the only reason not to have one is if you'd really prefer cash to any kind of tangible gifts. (And if that is the case, you should definitely decline all offers of showers.) Otherwise, you can just set up a registry. You don't even have to tell people it's there, unless they specifically ask where you are registered or what kind of gift you would like.

Word of mouth and your website are the only places it belongs. Definitely not on invites.

You can have a small registry if you would like. Everyone can always use upgrades on things like towels or maybe you want a new dish set, or some new tools! Dont put any info on your invites (unless someone is throwing you a bridal shower, then y ok u can out registry info on that invite), put it on your website and word of mouth. Lots of people gift cash at weddings, but I know of some older people who prefer to get something off the couple registry when they can.

I think it's totally appropriate for you to have a registry. I always bring a gift to a wedding and it has nothing to do with how established you are, how long you've been together, or how many times you've been married. A wedding gift is to celebrate the marriage taking place right now and show support for the union. A registry is a really helpful tool for those who want to give you a gift you truly want and/or need.

Absolutely register. If someone offers to throw you a shower , great!

If not, simply don’t offer up the registry information and use it as a “wish list” for yourselves and purchase the items on your registry as you can.

There's nothing wrong with having a registry at any age, regardless of how many marriages, etc. It's all about what you and FH would like to receive as gifts. If you feel you already have everything you need, simply don't register anywhere. People will get the hint and gift cash or checks instead.

We're older, have been living together for about 3.5 years, and I've been in my house for 11 years and we're still having a registry. I saw it as an opportunity to register for things that I normally wouldn't spend money on - I'm ready to be done with my dollar-store utensils and cheap steak knives - and will definitely be using the after-wedding discount on some items that I would like to upgrade.
