What I would do is just wait until asked. Most folks will probably give you "pretties" that they select themselves,

You probably have two of everything already anyhow, it's not as though you are 18 without even a toaster or an extra set of bedsheets.

Then you can smile and say, "Well, some folks asked us, so we registered at XXX. Thanks for thinking of us."

Did you register at the local tack store? ;-)

so we registered at XXX

That would make for an interesting reception.
