Think about what you need together for a house. Don't do the fancy china and silverware thing (unless you really want to). Do you have normal dishes, tools, towels, kitchen stuff, utensils, pots and pans, a crockpot, just anything that's practical that you need/want now. You can always save up for the china yourself in the future.
Congrats, and good luck!

Depends on what you want you are too register for things for you new home together. I know a woman that put movies and cds on their registry and thats completely improper. You can put furniture, bedding, appliances, glassware, stoneware, anything for your home. A thing that alot of my brides do anymore is just request monetary gifts that completely acceptable. You just include with your invitations a note that says in leiu of gifts make montary donations. Something alot of stores do now also is also give you the chance of allowing people to buy gift cards for you when you start your registry. Stores with a online registry is good because people that cant come to the wedding can still send you a gift from your registry.

Any object you will use together in married life is legit to register for. But try to keep the list somewhat modest-- think about what you really need. Typical things are dishes, small appliances, linens, smaller pieces of furniture, patio items, home accessories, camping equipment or other items for shared hobbies...
You should not register for gift cards, money (those bank account registries), or a honeymoon. It's quite rude to register for those.
It's also poor etiquette to publicize/announce your own reigstry to people. Polite brides WAIT to be asked, and then they tell the person where they registered their gift suggestions. Beyond that, it spreads by word of mouth.

Depends on what you want and where you register. Usually just register for whatever you want. And make sure that you put a variety of things and prices in there that way everyone will have something to choose from.

Register for whatever it is you need and want. Try to have a variety of items at a variety of prices (not all the super-expensive stuff). I registered at Amazon.com for our wedding, and got a variety of gifts, from an ice cream maker, to kitchen utensils, to linens, as well as some books (we love books).

Definitely register for some deliciously soft towels-- the kind you'd never buy for yourself. And 400 thread count sheets. Once you get married, you'll probably want to spend your money on your mortgage/car/kids/bills. Enjoy this.

check out theknot and see if there is a list there
otherwise if the store is a department store and has consultants in the bridal registry dept. then they can help

If you can't decide now, large retail stores can offer the option to add gift cards on registries. I added gift cards to my Macy's.
