Author Message BeingMe Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:37 pm    Post subject: Gift Registry for Renewal of Vows? We never had a wedding and want to renewl our vows for our 9 yr anniversary. Is it inappropriate to register? Back to top jmclaughlin07 Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:40 pm    Post subject: i would say no to the registry because you've been together for 9 years and you should be set on things you would need for the marriage or house. Back to top Deanri Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:40 pm    Post subject: I really don't think it's appropriate but, if you want to do it, then go ahead and just let people know when they ask, don't advertise it.

Back to top qwertystar Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:43 pm    Post subject: That comes across as really greedy to me. You've been married for nine years. The point of bridal registeries is to help the couple set up house. It seems you've done that. Renewal of vow ceremonies are not wedding do-overs and you don't get showers and all the same trappings. People may well choose to give you a gift, which is fine, but you shouldn't be so blatant about asking for them, which registering does.

You don't need help setting up a household. Back to top Leah Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:46 pm    Post subject: I would say it is inappropriate to register for gifts for a renewal of vows, especially after 9 years of marriage. I've been to two vow renewals and neither had a registry. In fact, gifts seemed to be optional at both. Back to top Kathryn R Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:48 pm    Post subject: It would make more sense to wait until next year have ceremony for the renewal of vows and you might get gifts, It's not something that you should be expecting though, My parents have celebrated several big Ann. and this year is their 65 I have cousins and brother's celebrating their 25 a but none of them are asking for gifts especially not with a registry.

Back to top Kristy ♪♫♪ Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:57 pm    Post subject: Absolutely not. It's not ok because as everybody else said, the two of you have had nine years to acquire the material items you would need to start a new household. What more could you possibly ask for or need? However, I'm sure some (not all) of the guests will ask if you are registered, but let them know you didn't feel it was appropriate. I'm sure you could still have a card box at the wedding/reception, and I'm sure some people will still contribute a financial gift along with their card. Be thankful for what you get, and I think you'll be pleased. Good luck.

But 9 years? No way. Besides, the point of a wedding ISN'T to receive gifts!!!! Just because you didn't have a wedding doesn't mean that people will buy you a gift simply for staying married! That just looks greedy. Back to top IG1GGLE Yahoo User Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 1:22 pm    Post subject: It isn't appropriate at all! My husband and I just renewed our vows in June and we didn't register, we still got gifts and if someone asked what we wanted I told them we just wanted them to come and celebrate with us!

I'm also having a wedding after being married and i'm not having one. I've been with my husband for 3 years and we are having our wedding in august 30th. I'm not doing it for gifts so i'm not doing it for gifts and i don't want people to think i am so i'm not going to register. Back to top
