'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Also, is it tacky to buy what they want elsewhere? Crate & Barrel (one of the places they're registered) would not be my first choice for things like cake pans.
It's not tacky, but it can lead to annoying duplicate gifts that have to be returned.

I didn't register for candlesticks, but I got five pairs.

Still not as good as backpfeifengesicht.
Not tacky, Ginger, especially if you're buying something nicer. I have mixed feelings about registries. I know they aren't very personal, but I was very glad to have one when I got married because it meant that I didn't get (too many) duplicate or bizarre gifts.
In terms of weird things showing up on the registry, I know that strange things happen to the brain when someone hands you one of those scanner things. Suddenly you want to scan EVERYTHING. If they did it all online, it might be a similar phenomenon.
I feel this about most registries, but, then again, I usually don't use them. If I don't know you well enough to have a gift idea? Then I'm probably not going to your wedding.
Sure, but you don't know what colors they're using in their kitchen or the china set they want to put together or what they already have.
That registry sounds wacky, Ginger. My only thoughts are: a)Sister and her DH tried to include inexpensive items so maybe they're doing this badly? b) She said "here, Honey, you pick some stuff." (not that all guys would be bad at this or that these are necessarily guy things -- but it seems possible)
Why I love my friends...
me: speaking of darling the Fedex driver was here. She just kills me with her boyish charm. Is it bad form to ask your Fedex driver out?
Heather: nope, its a porno flick
but do it anyway

In the Library!
when my friends got married their favorite gift was not on the registry. The groom's family got together and bought all kinds of household items that you might not think of- mops, scrubbies, cleansers, plastic wrap and foil... they assembled a near life-sized bride and groom out of the component parts. The bride's hair was the mop head, the groom's face was... I forget, something round. Anyway it was really cool.
