The main reason I'd do it is so I don't get totally random gifts that I don't want. Some people are not going to give you cash no matter what.
@SoontobeMrsA: I don't know that you *have* to. But I think it is far better to have a registry and get gifts you can easily return, then get some random unwanted gift that cannot be returned.
You can even register somewhere like amazon.com so the gifts could be returned for anything amazon sells!
i dont think you have to - just be ready to ward of the questions "so where are you registerd?"
we registered but really wanted cash so we ONLY registered for things we really wanted/needed - but i got two kitchen aids out of it -returned one last night
Yeah problem if you don't register is that you will get weird random gifts that you don't even need! Just have a very small registry, and then some people may get the hint and give cash. Thats what we are doing because we really don't need much!!
People will annoy you until you register. They want to buy you gifts, and they don't want to buy you something you don't want. We registered but got everything for the engagement party and shower, so people bugged me until I registered for more for the wedding.
If you're having a shower you should register b/c people will want to bring gifts to that, not money.
We wouldn't skip the registry in hopes of getting cash-we are just worried that is how it would look.
No, but with all the bees crashing your wedding, you probably should. You'd get lots of presents.
To actually answer your question, we didn't register. We got some gifts, more money, but a lot of people didn't give us anything. We also told everyone we just wanted them to come and we didn't need presents.
@SoontobeMrsA: It was everything i dreamed of and more!! thanks for asking! - i have pics that ill post this weekend - i've been busy catching up at work from being out on my honeymoon- but here are a few non pro pics

we aren't planning on registering at all. Basically because this will be my second wedding, and me and the FI have been living together for 3 years so we already have everything we need. I'm not really sure the etiquette on registering when it comes to 2nd weddings? But I don't even know what we'd really register for anyways...
@TheFutureMcBride: hahaha good point. I'll have to make a seperate Bee registry so you guys can just ship them instead of having to bring them on the plane.
Registering just makes me feel awkward. The baby one wasn't as bad because at least the gifts were for the babes not for me.
we didn't register. we only got a couple questions about it, mostly people just gave cash or something they thought we would like with a gift receipt attached. (though we kept everything since we're totally not picky).
@SoontobeMrsA: Yeah, but I may need to have the present in hand since I'm crashing. It makes the crash look better.
@TheFutureMcBride: agree. I feel like it will come off a little better if we actually have presents in hand.
We only registered because DH's grandma's side is really uptight about that stuff. There was like 10 things on there! And we didn't tell people about it unless they asked.
You don't have to at all. I wouldn't think that someone who didn't register was just looking for cash gifts--that wouldn't even cross my mind!
@missfireslayer: hahahahaha I guess wedding crashers do look better if they bring gifts.
We didn't register and it was just fine. Only two people even asked if we were registered and we simply said no. We lived together first and didn't need "house stuff". We got 90% gift cards and cash/cheks and then a few gifts. It worked out great!

Is it rude not to register?
Does that just make it look like we are trying to only get cash?
Is there any reason we have to do it?
