Our registry is pretty picked out right now due to my extremely generous friends and family and our e-party. FH and I need to add more things to it again because I'll probably have a shower and a lot of his family/friends (OOT) will want to give physical wedding gifts and not cash.
What did OOT guests typically give as wedding gifts? We're trying to decide what (price-wise and type-wise) to add to our registry. Should we try to put a bunch of things in the $150+ range, or keep it smaller like $50-75. We don't want to put a lot of high-priced items if people are looking to give $50 gifts. We don't want to have lots of small items and then run out because people are more generous than we anticipated. We also don't know if people prefer to buy different 'types' of gifts for a shower or a wedding. (ex: not wanting to give towels as a wedding gift) we're having a hard time thinking of what else to add since we dont have a house right now!
Almost all of our china has already been purchased and we have 2 big items still on our registry (an inflatable air mattress and a down comforter).
What were popular gifts from OOTers?

Register for what you want. Period. People will give you what they want to give you. If they don't find it on your registry, they will give you cash or something else. Don't register for things just b/c you anticipate people will want to give those things to you -- Don't settle for anything on your registry. Chances are you'll want (and receive) things in all price ranges. So, just go with what you want.
Most of our OOT guests gave us money for our wedding... Some brought gifts, but I'm at a loss for what they were... I think we got some of our baking stuff... and who can forget the infamous regifted cookbook?

We'll probably have to go to the store and register for lots of stuff after my shower to leave gifts we actually like for FH's family.
