I would call whomever invited you and see where they're registered. If you want to give them something THEY want, it will be on this list. They may have potholders, towels and cleaning supplies. But you will see that perhaps they DON'T have a skillet, serving bowls or wine glasses - something that will be on their list. A lot of my sons friends have been getting married lately, and I know they do appreciate receiving they want - or gift cards from the places they are registered to get what they need. With so many couples living together these days, they may have already merged two residences and have a lot. The year we got married - many years ago - cheese trays were all the rage. We got about 5. I'm sure everyone who gave us one thought we would love it, but if there had been a registry of stuff other than just china in those days, they could have purchased something we could use.
