You have no idea.
Personally, I think you're taking a thoughtful approach. Buying several things of the registry to add up to you internal total is fine, although I wouldn't wipe out all the inexpensive stuff in one fell swoop if there are other items in your price range (I previously (long time ago, different board) complained of someone doing just that; she was being kind hearted, but at the same time forced the poor-as-dirt well wishers to find gifts off the registry or pool their resources. I was roundly berated as being a buffoon and an ingrate. Which I can accept.).
I suspect BRC will say something to the effect that there should be no necessary correlation between cost of gift and wedding outlay. This of course goes in both directions. The gift should be a representation of your hopes for the couple. I agree.
I also think that your hopes for the couple can be expressed off the registry, even if the only thing left on it is a non-stick springform pan.
