My fiance's aunts are hosting a shower for me in a few months, and I'm not sure how much is appropriate to tell them about our registries without sounding greedy. I'd like to pass on some things that might make gift-buying easier for people, but the whole thing just feels icky.
For example, when we were registering at Bloomingdales we were told that there was going to be a huge sale at the end of the month, and we've been told in general that they have lots of sales. I feel like that MIGHT be helpful information, but I don't want to be obnoxious.
I also think they might want to know that we registered for more things at Bloomingdales than at Target and that the Target registry includes some online-only items, but again, don't want to be obnoxious.
Part of the issue is that we don't need much and didn't register for a ton of stuff, so I'm worried that somebody's going to walk into Target, admittedly a more convenient store than Bloomingdales, and find that everything's already been purchased or is only available online.
I wouldn't dream of telling other wedding guests this information myself, but since they shower hostesses will be in a less awkward position to help make gift-giving "easier" on people, I was considering mentioning a few things in an email. I'd open the lines, of course, with something like, "I feel awkward mentioning this, but...."
I'd love to know what everyone thinks!
