NIFR: Housewarming party question

I just received an invite for a housewarming party (via Facebook) and on it there is a discussion about where this person is registered for gifts...
I've never heard of this before..but I guess I've never really been to an official housewarming party either. Is this normal?
TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs

Re: NIFR: Housewarming party question
I have been to housewarming parties and never have I seen someone registered. So I think it is a little strange.
Is this a couple? married? single? dating? I think that has a lot to do with it. If it is a single friend than I can definitely understand it. I guess if they are dating that I could kinda understand it, but if they are married than no. That is what you have a wedding shower for.
She's single. If she was married I'd definitely give it a huge side eye..

I have never heard of registering for a housewarming, but maybe because she is single she feels that because she has not gotten to register for wedding/shower etc gifts, she can register for her new house. If that is the case I sort of see her point, but still think it's a little tacky.?

All the housewarming parties I've attended, have been of newlyweds so no registry, only the one leftover from the wedding.
However, I know BB&B offers a housewarming registry. I personally haven't heard of anyone doing one, but I know they exist. If you don't feel comfortable buying from there, perhaps a nice bottle of wine and a bottle opener and cork stopper?!

since she is single I can see where she is coming from. I have a friend who at this point in her life (31) feels like she is never going to meet "Mr. Right" and she rents an apartment now, but if she does ever buy then she has thought about this. She has said then if she does ever meet Mr. Right it will probably be later in life and she will probably not be doing the traditional wedding stuff.
Maybe it is just me, but I see no problem in this. A single person shouldn't have to miss out on getting a shower, because they are single. But you know the person better, so it would totally have to be a judgement call for you.
