When registering for a second wedding, there are two things to keep in mind: first, ask family and friends to spread the word to anyone who was invited to your first wedding that you do not expect a gift from them.

Second, keep your registry fairly simple. Remember, the items on a wedding registry fall into two basic categories -- items that you and your fiancé need to start your new home together (such as cookware, and towels) or items which, although they do serve a purpose, are more often given as a celebration of your wedding or a token of the guest's affection for you. Since you have already been married and, presumably, received many gifts at your first wedding, you should not register for any traditional items that you don't need. Those guests who want to give you something to mark this occasion may appreciate non-traditional gifts such as gourmet gifts, camping gear or spa packages.
