Fairly uncomfortable with this request...

Last night my BM asked me to give her my top 5 things I want from our registry. :/I feel very uncomfortable about this. At first I thought she was asking for her mom & sister who are coming to my b-shower on Sunday. So I was like... ok, I'll pick 5 things under $50. Then I was trying to figure out who she was asking for, price range, etc. Turns out she is asking for the ladies who are throwing the shower!! I am increasingly uncomfortable with this, especially since they told her the price range is anything under $300!!! WTF?!I thought throwing my shower was the gift?? :( I am honestly not thrilled with this, I know they already put a good amount of $$ into the shower. My BM is like "Really? You honestly think they won't get you a gift??" Well, yes, I thought the shower was the gift. I'm sorry if I sound whiny, I'm just so uneasy about this whole thing. I did end up giving her my "top 5" but... I just don't feel right about it.I gave in and did it because I didn't want to make anyone's life more difficult by trying to figure out what I "really want" from the registry.

  • Your totally stressing about nothing - RELAX!  They asked because they want to get you something you want.  If they didn't want to get you a gift, they wouldn't have asked.  FYI, I've thrown several showers and always gotten the bride or mom to be a gift as well.  Have fun at your shower!
  • Yeah... I'm sure you're right. I just have a hard time dealing with anyone spending money on me, that's the real problem I think.I'm just going to go with the flow... :)I am SUPER excited about my shower, I can't wait to see everyone!
  • Yeah don't feel bad. FSIL threw us our babyshower and gave us the crib too. That just means that you have super uper good friends :-))
