Is it appropriate to ask for housewarming gifts after being current homeowner for 10 yrs?

Sarah D: Is it appropriate to ask for housewarming gifts after being current homeowner for 10 yrs?
My friend has been married for 15 years now and in her current home for 10 years. Her and her husband are moving to a new home and she’s planning to send a gift registry out for the home. Please Please correct me if I’m wrong but this is an established couple who have been homeowners for a decade now. Isn’t this a bit tacky to ask people for gifts?

And just wants all nice new things for the new house ?

I think a gift registry is a bit over the top, but if it is a new home and she is having a housewarming party, then it is appropriate to bring a gift. No matter how long they have been established.

Answer by DM
Greedy woman.

No, they are a well established couple. If someone wants to bring them a housewarming gift they should accept it gracefully. Nothing more.

More than a bit tacky. Hey, maybe she could put a tip cup out on the table so they can drop money in it for her good job putting the food out too.

NOT TACKY BUUUTT WACKY …besides this has nothing to do with the category

Answer by sushi
to move into a new home and have a house warming gathering and ppl bring gifts out of their own kindness is ok
her sending a registry and expecting gifts is ghetto tacky

Answer by DevilDoll
I am no etiquette expert, but to me- WAYYYY TACKY. How lame is that? The MOST she should have done is send out invites, and HOPE someone feels like bringing something. To send out a registry is basically saying, “We’re having this party b/c we want free stuff.”
And I am REALLY interested in what the price range is on the registry. I am willing to bet that they ask for all kinds of EXPENSIVE gifts. Sheesh. The nerve.
I would go to the party sans gift. If she’s really a true friend, she’ll just be glad you made it. 🙂
