Many people shy away from wedding registries because they're uncomfortable with asking their guests for gifts. However, it's not demanding to ask your guests for gifts. Guests will expect a registry, and it means the whole day is a little easier; Mary Smith, founder at Vowness, says that a registry makes 'gift-giving a much smoother process for the guests and a more fulfilling experience for the couple'.
The only thing to bear in mind is that a registry is voluntary. It's a wishlist of what you'd like to have, not a mandatory part of the wedding.
