Is it tacky to get married at the Justice of the Peace but still have a wedding registry?
I answered you other JoP wedding question too … A JoP wedding isn’t any less of a wedding than a typical chapel wedding, so of course you should register. When you send out wedding invites to the actual ceremony people are going to still want to buy you a present to celebrate. Just be sure to follow the etiquette rule of not including registry/gift information in your invites, the same as any other wedding. Also, if/when you send out wedding announcements after your special day many of your close friends and family will also want to buy you a gift of congratulations, so it’s good to be registered and have close family members help spread the word about where. You are getting married! If it is by a JoP or a priest, or in a destination wedding, it is still an important life event that people will want to celebrate and congratulate you for. Good Luck!
