Housewarming registry?

SO tacky

no. with no registry i always buy a gift anyway so a registry would help a lot ! if someone is hosting or just moved i always bring a housewarming gift or a gift for the host

You could make a registry and send it to those that ask? I think registry’s are good for baby showers, small kids birthdays but not sure for a housewarming. I’d always take a gift anyways so I wouldn’t be offended if someone sent a registry either. Just make sure there are a mix of values on it

i live in england and everyone here thinks any registry even a baby shower one is tacky and ungrateful for doing it but im all for them. if people are getting you a present anyway then why would you want some random thing you dont like?

Answered wrong as I read it wrong! I personally don’t find it tacky at all. If a friend was having a housewarming party and sent the link with it I’d definitely get them something and not think twice about it ❤️

I live for registries and wishlists but in this scenario it is very off putting. Unless the items are less than $5 each. Because you shouldnt be expecting gifts since you bought a new house. Maybe they just want to bring flowers

It depends on your kind of crew. How do your friends and family usually do it? Some housewarmings are just to celebrate, something relax or it may get wild, but no one shows up with a present. If that is your kind of people it will be very eye rolling to ask for a present with a registry. On the other hand if your family and friends are all for presents, it is better to have a registry instead of getting random stuff, that is a waste. The registry can have items and gift cards on all price ranges.

And also... Did you guys have a wedding? Because that is usually when people tend to gift houseware. If you haven't, I would find it cute and understandable that you are taking this opportunity to celebrate and get a registry. But since it is not the usual big celebration it would be good to keep it modest an with a note saying that you are happy to celebrate this milestone with all of them and that a present is not expected, but if they wanted to, there is a registry/wishlist.

If you’re in the UK it’s not really acceptable in most circles. Not sure about other cultures though.

Not tacky - just say it’s optional and for ideas for those who wanted to get a gift anyway. A housewarming party is meant to be for people to bring gifts.
