Should we...?

... wait to make a registry until someone officially offers to throw us a shower?  My friends from work have made some general conversation about it, but nothing has been planned. 

I just don't want to come off like we expect anyone to buy us gifts or throw us a party.  I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't happen.  But people keep asking if we've registered yet which has me wondering if maybe we should?

    register, if only for the completion coupon the store will give you. (10% off usually). If people are asking if you are registered, they are most likely planning on giving you a gift, so register.

    Registries don't have to equal showers.  IDK why you wouldn't register if only for the completion coupons and other giveaway things you get.

    Go ahead and register.  People will buy gifts regardless if there is a shower or not. Often times, I am not invited to a shower and still want to buy a gift after the baby is born - first place I look is Target.com and babiesrus.com to see if the person has registered.  I always buy the gift off of the registry.

    And, as previously stated, you get a coupon just for registering, that makes it worth your time.
