We just booked our engagement party for January 30th. My mother keeps telling me that I have to register.....what items are appropriate to register for at this time??? Please help!!!
You keep the same registry and add things as it gets closer to the wedding right??

Thats great!! We didn't register for a registry. I was told that it was not 'appropriate' to expect gifts at an e-party. Though we received well over $1300 in cards.![]()
I didn't register but received a few thousand in gifts.

Ditto. according to wedding etiquette, its a no-no ..but do what you feel comfortable.

half the stuff people do today is not wedding etiquette.
Do what you like. when my friend got engaged, she didn't register at that point, but she let everyone know if they asked, that she was registering @ Macy's and BBB... this way you can get gift cards for the places you are going to be registering at, at least. my friend told me to at least start a registry even if it is small so you don't get 5 of the same picture frame and people can at least start to pick things off of there...
ya know..when we first got engaged some of my moms friends called to ask if i was registered so they could buy gifts..but i think its too early.
I guess you could register for anything really. Some people like the option of giving a gift instead of money at an e-party so it's good to have a few items on there. I wouldn't register for big things though (like your china, silverware, or anything like that). Maybe register for some decorative items, like a nice vase or knick-knacks for the house.
Thanks girls, this is really helpful!!

lolim not arguing hence the reason i said do what you feel comfortable
i didn't register cause we needed money... and we did recieve a lot of cash from our e-party its all on what you think you would prefer...i figured i had more time and more birthdays and holidays to get use out of the registry and the e-party was a good way to help raise some money for our wedding
