You can do the traditional thing and register at a department store or specialty store that carries the china, the silverware, the place settings, linens and so on that you like and will use. That way you kind of narrow the “guessing” of gifts down some, and your guests won’t have to be concerned about whether or not you are going to like their gifts.
