Hi ladies,
I had my bridal shower on Saturday. It was an amazing day, and I couldn't have asked for a better surprise or party. However, I have a little bit of a dilemma that I'd like some input on...
When I first started my registry, I added a pair of toasting flutes (the Swaroski crystal ones). I didn't realize that they were $400. As soon as I got home, I took them off my registry, found a pair of Vera Wang purple ones (my wedding color) that are the same pattern as the other crystal glasses I registered for. They are $130. I thought they were perfect, and I added them to my registry as a "wish" item, but didn't think I'd receive them. A few days later, my MOH and one BM, who came registering with me that 1st time, asked why I took the Swaroski ones off. I explained that I found another pair I loved, and the Swaroski ones were beautiful, but not practical. FI and I don't live together, and need a ton of kitchen, etc stuff that I thought was more important. Plus, I love the Vera ones.
Fast forward to Saturday. I open a gift at the shower, and it's the Vera toasting flutes. I was overwhelmed with my guest's generosity. She happened to be sitting front and center. A few minutes later, I open the gift from my bridal party. It was the Swaroski flutes! I have NO idea what to do. My MOH in particular is sooo excited, b/c she thinks that I only took them off my registry b/c nobody would buy them. (Love her to death, but she doesn't always listen lol). The poor woman who bought the other glasses was crestfallen. I felt AWFUL.
My question is, how do I handle this situation without offending anyone. I have to choose which glasses I will use on my wedding day, so someone's feelings will be hurt.
WWYD?!
Thanks!
Tara
