I know that it is a common custom to register for gifts for a wedding, but my fiance feels that it is tacky. I am torn between it being tacky and making it easier for those who choose to purchase a gift. I do not expect guests to buy gifts, but if they chose to, I know that in that situation I would be relieved to at least have an idea as to what the bride and groom need, and not try and gift blindly ... however I am not sure on this.
Thanks for the help!

You should register for at least a few gifts, because like you said, your guests need some ideas of what you need. We don't need much, but once we started looking at the stores, it was hard to stop!! Hope that helps!! :)

Definitely register. It is not like you put the registries in your invitation or anything. Besides, the registry information is given out by those who may throw showers for you or spread by word of mouth (in the technology age, that would mean wedding website). Enjoy it! We had a blast putting ours together.

Register.
Why? I messed with this question too...but here's the thing. You're getting gifts whether you want them or not, and people would rather buy you something than give cash. By registered you get what you want and not that crazy penguin canape plate that your aunt just thought was adorable!
As much as a lot of people will likely emphasize that in the immediate you don't need anything than don't register; you're supposed to be getting married forever. You'll need that china eventually...
Register. It'll be worth it in the end. :)

It's not tacky to register - it's only tacky to include your registery info in the invitations.
I have been to many showers whether it be for bridal or baby, and have no idea what the person needs. It's not like buying a birthday present where you can get a nice candle or something generic bc you know they like them. You want to get them something that they will use for the rest of their lives - that they really like.
For me, the only way I usally know that, no matter how close I am to the couple, is by looking at a registry. It gives the person attending the shower an idea of what the couple needs- even if they do not buy anything off it it can point someone in the right direction.
If you do not want a registery, and only want cash, then do not have a shower and do not register. But if someone is throwing you a shower, then you will be expected to register.

I have been toying with it too, since we really don't need anything...but after reading the other posts, I think registering for a few gift ideas would help the guest...thanks for asking the board, because I got my answers I needed too!

I completely agree with everyone else. My husband and I had a very small wedding and didn't expect many girfts if any especially after my bridal shower, but we got so many gifts at the wedding that there wasn't enough room to fit them all on our gift table. It's not tacky to register... it's tacky to ask for cahs or to include it in your ivitations. If you don't you're just going to end up with a bunch of crap you don't want!
