FH and I just relocated to a new state 3mths ago therefore most of our family/friends are in our home state. We basically had to start from "scratch" in our new town..new jobs, find a new home and furnishing our place (we arrived with only our clothing and personal items) and I had to purchase a car (we shared his car in the former state) and therefore funds have been limited. We're having a VERY small ceremony in November and after, we will go to a local restaraunt for food/drinks etc with close friends and family. The remainder of our family/friends back home have all congratulated us and wish they could come...my question is should I do a registry? I'm unsure because we can't afford to invite everyone so would it be degrading to seek gifts from those who weren't invited? I only thought of this because a # of people mentioned they would send us gifts.

"Today Frustration sat across the table from me, Anger sat next to him mocking me, Criticism sat behind me laughing, but to my right sat Faith and she held my hand. To my left sat Perseverance and she whispered in my ear "you can do it"
Girl please. Do a registry. You may or may not get gifts from both. Meaning, people invited may or may not get you a gift. And people uninvited may or may not get yall a gift. Its a catch 22. I say do it.
By all means, create the registry. SOme people will ask knowing that they will not attend the wedding, but want to get a gift anyway. Others may find out about the registry for someone else, and some may browse registries randomly to see if you have a registry. You don't have to solicit gifts, but atleast the registry will be available for those wishing to congratulate you.
Thanks ladies I wanted to (smile) just didn't want to offend anyone. I'll get to it this weekend! lol

I say yes to the registry too. Do it at store that are nationwide or affiliated chain stores.
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
I think you should do the registry.

Definitely do it. Whoever wants to buy will buy and whatever is left, at least you can buy it at a discount for a few months....Some people would like to take the time to browse your registry to bless you and your FH! You'll be surprised at how much you will recieve in November.....
