| My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home. We are plannig on throwing a housewarming party after we get settled. Do many people register for gifts and Is it wrong to register for gifts? Did you register and if so, what did you register for and what stores did you use? We have been married for 5 years and have been living in an apartment. |

| well, buying your first home is a big deal, but I've never heard of putting together a registry for a housewarming party. HOWEVER, this is the 21st century and so if you want to register, than by all means, have at it. Just make sure your guests know that there is a registry. The housewarming parties I've been to have been casual dinners mostly, and I bring wine or a plant, and usually I'm the only person who brings something. |

| If you want to register, go ahead, but usually housewarming presents are small and welcoming, or follow traditional rules: Wine, bread, salt and a candle. For reference, see the movie "It's a Wonderful Life."Lots of variations on the traditional theme are possible. |
