We have decided that we are not going to register for gifts for our engagement party. I know that guest often bring monetary or other timeless gifts anyway. My questions is should I still set aside a 'gift table' or a box for envelopes at the engagment party?
I am not registering either and still setting aside a table..this way I don't have to worry about finding a place for them
I didnt register for my e-party but i had a table set aside for presents. Which i didnt need i only got 3 presents. The rest was money which everyone gave to me at the end of the party
I am having my party next month and we are putting a table out for our gifts and a small basket for envelopes.
I didn't register and i didn't set up a table either. I got a few boxed gifts. I just kept bringing them inside when people handed it to me (I had a backyard party at my house)
we registered and had a table set out .. we got more gifts then money but it was great because we got a lot of good stuff.. and we got a good amount of money as well so it went well... good luck!

Thats what we hope too. Ladies what did you/will you do with your envelopes/cash as you received it at your e-party? Did you or do you plan to have a wishing well?
i didn't register, but i still had a card box and gift table. If you don't you'll have nowhere to put gifts and cards!
I just had my engagement party last weekend at Douglaston Manor, we did register..I have to say I got tons of presents and envelopes as well. D.M set up a gift table and held onto envelopes. Registering is good if you have a house or know of things that you would really like to have...
I'm having my e-party next month and I know already that people bought gifts for me...DAD and Step Mom... So since i registered a little bit becuase FMIL said I should so i did for a few things. SO i will set a table out and put a card box out too!!!
Don't bank on the money all the time...I know a freind of mine that didn't register and got a lot of crap she didn't like or want..it's tricky...most people know that money is the way to go but some people don't like giving it.. think about a small registery with stuff you know you want and need. good luck!!!
