drtrish03 Board Fanatic Member since 11/05 260 total posts Wedding Date: 4/1/2006 11:30 AM Wed. Location: Fox Hollow A++	Quick question for girls living with FH? I've been living with FH for about 3 years now. Mostly everything we have has been passed down to us from others. So, I had my shower last month and I have all these gifts in my living room right now just taking up space. Did any of you use any of your registries before the wedding? Did you just keep them all in boxes until after the wedding? Plus, after the wedding and HM, when did you actually find time to put everything away and get all settled? Is it bad luck to put things away/use them now? What to do, what to do, what to do?

Quick question for girls living with FH?

I've been living with FH for about 3 years now. Mostly everything we have has been passed down to us from others. So, I had my shower last month and I have all these gifts in my living room right now just taking up space.

Did any of you use any of your registries before the wedding? Did you just keep them all in boxes until after the wedding? Plus, after the wedding and HM, when did you actually find time to put everything away and get all settled?

Is it bad luck to put things away/use them now?

What to do, what to do, what to do?

I used everything from my shower, with the exception of a few things that are seasonal and meant for other times of the year. Other than that, I opened everything, washed what needed to be washed and put it all to good use immediately!

Since it'll only be 2 months till the wedding, we'll probably wait until we're married. We've been living together for about 9 months so we have a lot, but still need a lot! We'll probably break out the chocolate fountain, blender, etc before the wedding, but our casual dinnerware and stuff like that we'll wait to use.
