Registry

Mishe+Neo

Does anyone else feel like they are having the world's greatest birthday party when you see things checkedoff the registry?

...a few of members of my FI's family have not quite figured out that we registered for what we specifically want, and not random things they decide we need (without receipts). My dance troupe talked me off the ledge yesterday with tales from their bridal showers and things they ended up returning or regifting.  Has anyone else started experiencing odd registry behaviors from friends or family?

Ahh! So exciting!! I've had a similar experience with this really nice cheese board. I am excessively excited about it, and have no idea who bought it. My shower is this Saturday, so hopefully it'll show up there.

We stalk our registry too, and by "we," I mean me. haha! I'm actually trying to make sure we have enough stuff on there for our 2nd bridal shower in a variety of price ranges because I had one shower already and we got a TON of stuff, everyone was so generous! We did get some things that weren't on the registry, but they were actually useful things like spatulas and dish towels. Everyone seemed to notice our red kitchen theme too so I enjoyed getting the items that weren't on the registry.

One of the groomsmen's wife put together this adorable basket with a super cute black and white apron, a bottle of wine, our oven mits we registered for, a picture frame with the state of Pennsylvania and a heart over Pittsburgh (where the wedding is at) and included our names and wedding date, and an Irish "make-up" bell. While only the oven mits were on our registry, she put so much thought into it, made it with the red and black theme, and I loved it!! I know getting random useless things without receipts is frustrating though, just remember they are excited to celebrate with you and that is all that matters

We don't have anything bought off our registries yet but I don't think a lot of people know about them yet. I shared them with my parents (ok, my mom bought a few random things off of it for Christmas but she didn't buy it "off the registry" so it didn't show up that way) and that was it so far. They're listed on our website but I'm not sure how many people have looked at it. The website is on our accommodations card so I'm sure people will start looking at it once they get their invitation. My sister hasn't planned my shower yet so no one's bought anything for that either yet. I'm going to have the hardest time not stalking.. I think I just will anyways lol.

I'm trying not to check my registry but I just had to log in and take a few things off that we had gotten for Christmas and seen that 5 things were bought already!! My shower is fast approaching but I'm not dying to find out!
I went out and bought an outfit for that day so when my fiance tells me that I have till 1pm to be presentable, i don't have to have a wardrobe melt down.
My BM already told me that they don't know in the world they will get me there with it still being a secret.

Now that I see things being bought I get really excited and keep stalking it!

I'm geeked about a couple things I've seen come off....I stalk it occasionally.  FI doesnt think it's "fair"....but he gets just as excited when I tell him about it!! lol
