Registering for engagement party

Are you supposed to register before you're engagement party so that guests can shop from it or is that tacky?

I'm not... I think if you do then people will assume they have to bring a gift. I'm waiting until after my E-party to register.

My immediate family bugged me to register so I did... hopefully people don't feel obligated to buy something. But they wouldn't know unless they searched for my registry so then I assume they are looking into getting a gift.

I wouldn't IMO...we're telling people not to bring gifts. I think it's asking a little much of people (but our guests are mostly OOT so they have to travel to our wedding).

We just want to celebrate with everyone!

We registered and it worked out well for us and the guests. We didn't get things we didn't want and they didn;t have to guess what we wanted. definitly not tacky at all. I don't know anyone who didn't register before having the eparty

Be careful with this one! Traditionally a registry is for the bridal shower. If you register before your engagement and everything goes, what will you do for your shower. Without a registry you will probably get envelopes, we did. However, if you decide you really want one this early on, I would just do china or something classic.
