Is it rude to register for wedding gifts if you aren't having a reception?

I'm going to a friend's wedding and they've opted out of a reception. They have however decided to register for gifts. It's also not the first time they've been married.

I have my thoughts on this, but curious about what others think.

One side of me has always felt that registering for wedding gifts in general was a bit classless.

On the other hand, there's something to be said for telling people what you'd like to receive rather than ending up with things you never use, or return !!!
