Hi! So for a little context, I am from the US and my FH is from England, both of us respectively born and raised where we're from. Our wedding is going to be here in my home state but afterwards I'm going to be moving permanently to live in England with him. Because of this, our wedding registry is actually UK based so that gifts can be sent directly to his home there and we don't have to worry about shipping all of it over on top of everything I already own.
My question is, should I set up a separate registry for the bridal shower and just deal with having extra to ship later? I keep being told that the whole point of the bridal shower is gift giving and that the people who attend will want to watch me open what they have given, so I'm worried I will be causing an issue by asking for everything to be sent ahead to England. However, I think it would look strange to accept physical gifts there but then turn around and ask for everyone else to use the UK based registry if they want to gift us anything.
What do y'all think?
