Wendy, what about just registering for a few things that you could use right now? That way your registry will sell out quickly and the rest of your guests will likely just give you cash.

Re: Registries
Well, do what you want, but I agree that you should not register for items just so you can return them. While you say it is not very thoughtful to pick an item off a registry, people still need to spend time in the store shopping, when they could be doing other things. If you would prefer cash, spread the word. Personally, I would be annoyed if I dragged myself out to buy something on a registry, and found out it was returned for cash.
Another option is to register for non-typical things if you don't have space now. Books, music, sports equipment, most shops have registries of some kind.
