I don't need a registry. We have 40 guests (not counting vendor-type peeps) and a fair few of them are traveling, and I'm busily convincing myself that nobody will care enough to ask if/where we're registered.

BUT THEY HAVE A STEEL MEASURING CUP SET WITH SPOONS LABELED "TAD" "PINCH" "SMIDGEN" AND "DASH" HOW CAN I NOT GET THOSE.

Yep, BTW resit getting  an Amazon universal registry that lets you go to any website and Add an item to your registry. I might have already thought about registering for R2-D2 measuring cups that nest together to create an R2-D2.  I saw it on thinkgeek

Amazon is DANGEROUS! We have all sorts or random shit on there that we probably wouldn't have registered for if Amazon didn't make it so damn easy. Crab rings? Check. An air compressor? Sure! A smoker? HELL YEAH.

We do not need these things. But once you start adding items in Amazon, it's hard to stop.

I have a love/hate relationship with our Amazon registry. FI put a pretzel dog maker on there... because we obviously need one.

Mmmm, pretzel dogs...

FI put an air compressor, a rototiller ($900), and a poker set on our registry. He also upped the quantity of crab rings we "need" from two (reasonable for two people) to four (why?). It's just too easy to add things you don't need!

In case you ever have a party, you might want more?  That's how I reasoned everything.  For all the parties we throw.  So many parties. 

Bahahaha seriously, this is my justification for so many things on our registry. FI and I are total homebodies who throw nothing, but once we're married we'll become social butterflies and host ALL THE THINGS. I should probably take that stuff off now...

Yeah we do maybe 2 parties a year, in which they're casual kegger types where we use paper everything anyway.  But I have visions of classy dinner parties.

I will say we are inheriting the hosting of the annual Thanksgiving dinner from my aunt.  So that's legitimately why I registered for 16 place settings.  But each setting is only about $30 so it's not terrible.  I'd be an asshole if I did 16 settings of bone china or something like that.

ETA my mom registered for Wedgwood china in 1975.  She said, back then, each place setting was $120.  I was like jesus mom, you're a jerk.  She said that's why we never had a full set LOL
