Honeymoon registry - yes or no?

I did the HM registry through my travel agent, and registered for gifts - that way no one felt pressured to donate to my honeymoon. I guess my family is more practical b/c everyone really seems to like the idea that they can give us a round of golf or massages during our honeymoon. It really makes them feel like they are contributing to improving our honeymoon. I don't really see the controversy, I know, as a gift-giver, I'd feel great about contributing to a honeymoon, but not so great about handing a woman mixing bowls or something no so exciting.

By coordinating it through my travel agent, we avoiding paying fees that other HM registries charge.

Thanks for all the input. It's funny - I thought it was a pretty good idea but when my parents in the midwest thought it sounded tacky... I really started to rethink it, considering that people around here are probably 10 times more, um, 'opinionated.'

thanks!! here's the link if you want to do one of your own--
