We are having a very small wedding (10 people) Should we still register for gifts out of consideration for those who will not be attending?

As I was writing my answer I changed my mind. You know what? Registering makes it very easy for anyone to buy a gift. Don't just stick to the china, crystal, blah, blah, blah. Get creative and register for places that have things you really want and will use. Register at online merchants, that way your friends can shop and ship in one step. Just don't put where you are registered on your annoucements. That's tacky. They'll ask if and where you are registered.

Yes, I'm sure they'll all love having to buy a present even though they were not invited. If you do register for gifts then I can assure you it will not be out of consideration for them - it will be yourselves you are considering and it will stand out a mile. I woudn't, not if you like these people.

Registering is free, so go right ahead. If your folks are asked if you are registered, they can tell the person where you are registered. I think it is a good idea to make sure you have a vast price range of items so it will fit into everyone's budget.

Sure, and I agree with moondawgie. Go for the stuff you're relly use. The internet route is the way to go too. Or pick stores that do both. And never, ever include a registered at card that's tacky. Let them ask you after you send out the announcement.

If you know others will be sending gifts, they might as well be things that you need/want. I tend to get offended when people register at very high end places that have no reasonably priced items....even if I plan to spend alot.

Go for it. Register all you want, but do not, I repeat, DO NOT UDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES include any notice of your registry in an invitation or announcement. It should be complete word-of-mouth that you have registered. I wish whomever invented the registry card would burn in the second level of Hel. (only the second, because it's not a very heinous crime...^_^)

I'm going through the same thing right now. We are having a small wedding (20 people) so all the comments helped out a lot. I was wondering what was appropriate to do..you never want to expect gifts..but you know some people will want to buy you a present anyways..whether they attend the wedding or were even invited. Thanks for the help!
