I rarely go with wedding registries. I just can't get past the feeling that it's supposed to be my "ticket" to the event or something. I have a few unique gift ideas taht I go with. Idon't really consider it my job to supply the bride and groom with the particular wastebasket they've chosen for their bathroom! (The only timeI worked off a registry was a stock registry for a couple (lived together 10 years before marrying and had it all!) who were setting up their retirement fund. It was the gift that kept on giving wheere I was concerned and different enough that it hooked me.)
