Registry Question

Tully16

After having all of our showers, I totaled up the number of gifts we have left at each price point on our two registries.  Do you guys think these numbers look ok to leave for the wedding?  We're planning on having between 130-140 guests.  There's nothing else we really want, but my main concern is that a lot of people who I think will buy off the registry for our wedding (mostly our friends - I think a lot of our older family members will give $) will not have gifts that they like in their price point.  I just can't see our friends in their mid-twenties giving us towels for example, lol.  Anyway, here are the numbers:

Gifts under $25 - 16

Gifts under $50 - 20

Gifts under $75 - 4

Gifts $100+ - 5

What do you think?

I think that looks fine. My wedding is on Saturday and not one thing has been bought from the registry since my shower. When my brother got married, almost everyone bought off of the registry for the shower and gave cash for the wedding.

I think its fine, if they cant find something they are comfortable with they will give cash or gc, or something they are comfortable with from the store.. I know at bbb they told us if people give us something from there that isnt on our registry we can still return it if we dont like it as if it is off the registry and use the money to get some of the bigger items we might not have gotten.

I think that's fine. I wasn't even thinking about this! We still have a ton of gifts unpurchased at this point, but they are in all of the ranges...

I think you are totally fine - I don't see the point in adding stuff you don't really need/want on your registry just to have more stuff.  FWIW my MOH & her husband (in their 20s) bought us our wedding present already and it was a bunch of our towels =]  To be honest, most of the stuff people register for isn't all that exciting as household good aren't super fun.  I think you're overthinking this one =]

Yea, I think that looks good. We've had a couple of gifts purchased off our registry since the bridal shower two weeks ago, but I also anticipate more cards/cash sort of thing instead of registry items especially since we're moving post wedding. Still doesn't prevent me from stalking our registries though! <shocked face>
