I would do that for couples, like the one I whose wedding I attended last winter. They were merging 2 households and all the possessions that came with them so this would have been perfect (if they'd have one). They absolutely asked NO PRESENTS because they had no room to put the stuff they already had, let alone new things. This would have been awesome.

HOWEVER, this I wouldn't do. You can take that somewhere else, Greedy McGreedersons.

Oh, the horror. Generations of married couples have been given things they don't need or would never, ever use. They said thank you -- and if possible discretely exchanged them -- and moved on.

Miss Manners would not be amused period. Miss Manners is firmly of the opinion that the gift registry is appropriately maintained only as a reference if the gift-giver asks. Anything beyond that constitutes begging, not gracious acceptance of the generosity and thoughtfulness of others, and puts the generosity in the hands of the recipient, not the giver.

We are in complete agreement.
