Also consider "registering" your location for your honeymoon. People can donate gifts of money towards that instead of physical gifts.

And juanvaldes, the process of "registering" isn't for women to get free stuff, it's for a newlywed couple to be able to start a home without going broke. All their friends and family chip in a little by purchasing the things that the bride and groom wish to have in their home. It's better to have a "shopping list" of the gifts you want than to get 20 pale green toasters.

redravin and I have discussed some of the things we will be registering for and some of the places we will visit.

The first step to registering, though, is consolidating what you already have and taking inventory. If you already have it, don't need it, don't want it, etc. don't register for it.

Also remember if you register for too many things, you may not get the items you need/want or get stuck with buying things on your own. For example, you register for your china pattern, 8 place settings. Only 3 get bought for you because other people had so many other things to choose from. You are stuck purchasing the remaining 5 place settings so you have full service for 8.

to elaborate on those points...

there also should be a good range of prices to pick from... some people especially in today's employment climate just don't have the disposable income that they once had...

20 pale green toasters... ICK!
