June 2012 Weddings

Shower done/gift story

My sister/MOH and bm's threw me a shower yesterday which was awesome! They did an amazing job and I was super blessed by them and the love I felt. Couldn't be happier!!! But something funny happened, I was opening a gift and it was very random, one cloth napkin, two placemats and some napkin rings, none of which were on my registry. Then I hear someone say something about me getting things I am wanting because I registered for them and this must be on it or something like that. (also side note, the things are nice but totally not my or FI's style at all) so I just smiled and said there has been so much going on and I registered so long ago I don't really remember everything on it (which is true to some degree!). And we moved on.

Later my sister asked me what really was going on and I said I NEVER put that on my registry and she said I covered very well, she knows me and knew what was what but said no one else caught on that I had never seen that stuff before ever!

  • There will always be someone who gets you an off registry gift.  Expect it at your wedding too.
  • A gift is a gift. Be appreciative and thankful they got you something.

  • I don't think OP was being ungrateful, just sharing a funny story. 

    I wonder if there's another bride with the same name and your guest bought off of her registry?  That bride must be wondering where her napkin rings are!

  • Yeah it seems like a mix up rather than someone going off registry. Why would someone pick one napkin as a gift without any to match?

  • Oh I'm not ungrateful! It was just a funny situation because I don't love having 30 people watch me as I open presents anyway. But EVERYONE was looking at me and I was trying to be cool while opening things. It was just funny!
