I don't think I could, in good conscience and good manners, set up any sort of account or registry if I am already established and don't want people to give me gifts of their choice. So what if Aunt Bertha gives me a set of towels instead of money for a massage, I don't get to dictate what people give me. I'm just thankful they are giving me a gift and I'm getting married. If someone asked my family or bridal party for gift ideas that is where it could be mentioned, but I'm not going to register for things if I have a well equipped home, or for anything honeymoon related. Some people feel the need or want to give something, and I'll have that registry, but people can give something, or nothing, it doesn't really matter as long as they come to my wedding, and if they weren't invited and give a gift, how very thoughtful.
Entirely separate, but I immediately thought someone had one of those grody sex toy parties that are done like pampered chef and was promoting it for their shower/bachelorette party.
