Oh my! You are certainly not alone in your thoughts about the whole timeline. Wow
Send a wedding gift of your choosing (or don't). It will be ok either way. The housewarming with registry is over the top!

I wonder how old these people are? It seems so immature. Of course everyone will want to celebrate everything with us!!!
I do wonder if the house warming is replacing the wedding though. I've been to very few traditional house warming parties, so that's the one that sticks out.
I knew someone who had two wedding ceremonies a few months apart, and then two years later renewed her vows, with different registries for each event.Mommy to my wonderful, HEALTHY twin girls

baby present, wedding present, done.
We don't do housewarming presents beyond immediate family. I'd either send a card or just skip it and add their address to your xmas card list.DS Mar04, 8th grader. Life Scout. Being read Flash the Homeless Donkey.

I think it's all ok, but wouldn't feel obligated. I am one that likes to give a small nice token for things, but it doesn't need to be expensive. I've never really seen a housewarming registry. I love going to parties though, so to me it would just be like going to any hosted party where you bring a small housewarming gift. I wouldn't bring more than a tea towel or a trivet though. Like maybe $10 worth. We don't buy cards (they cost more than a little book really, so I'm more likely to pick up an inexpensive cute book and write an inscription). I don't know why they did a registry for housewarming. Did they do it for all the others?

Thank so for the responses. I think I'll send a "New House 2017" Christmas ornament. And maybe a "Baby 2017" ornament. And a "Married 2017" ornament. LOL
