Yet another registry question

I don't even know where to start.

We have everything we could need to fill our home. We just moved in together and had to donate quite a lot of duplicates. We are fortunate enough to not need upgrades. We set up a small registry for people who will insist on getting something that can be wrapped but it isn't enough (as I have been informed by friends & family) and we are at a loss as to what to do next.

In an ideal word we could register for dry wall, insulation, and sub-flooring. Alas, Home Depot doesn't really have a registry option.

We purchased a home that was built by FHs grandfather in the 1940s to keep it from being torn down and turned into a McMansion. We love our home and it holds a lot of memories for everyone in his family. The issue is it needs A LOT of work.

I'm working on our website and I can't think of a graceful way of saying "Your presence is present enough but if you'd like to gift us something we really could use gift cards to Home Depot or cash" I could really use your help!

So far I have the following

>First off, we'd like to say that your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate, and we are thrilled that we will be able to celebrate with you.

>We are blessed to have many of the essential home items that a newly married couple will need. However, should you wish to honor us with a gift, a contribution to our home renovation fund would be greatly appreciated. As many of you know FH purchased a home that was built in the 1940s by his grandfather. We love our home and would like to continue building the family home.
