We have decided not to do a registry for a variety of reasons. The big one is that we are doing a destination wedding and don't want guests to feel any need to get us a gift, since they are already giving up a lot of time and money to be there. Plus, neither of us really like the concept of registries. I'd rather have a gift that was thought out than something from a pre-approved list. Just seems weird.
Having said that, my aunt and uncle aren't going to be able to make the wedding, but asked where we were registered. I told her that we've decided not to register. She just emailed me and said "So how do we know what to get you guys? Any ideas?". I'm not sure how to respond. They are very, very well off and I know she genuinely wants to get me something nice, but I'm not sure what to say.
I'm guessing we will continue to have this problem, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
