No gifts purchased??

caitlinc09 · March 2012

I don't want to be crazy or bridezilla and demand gifts, but I am confused.

I promised myself I wouldn't peek at any of my registries until after my shower. Well, I just cheated and looked. My shower is in 2 weeks and invites went out for it 2 weeks ago and not a single gift on any of my registries has been purchased. Uhh? Is this weird? It makes me sad/nervous!! I saw the invites and all my registry info is printed on them.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The shower is still 2 weeks away. People are procrastinators.

A lot of ppl don't buy anything until the day of/before. Don't worry

Thank you! I just needed to hear that lol. My sister pointed out we haven't even hit the RSVP deadline yet so there's no reason to worry yet.

Ditto to what everyone has said so far. I wouldn't worry too much since I can think of multiple bridal showers that I have been invited to where I bought the gift the day before or the day of

I honestly don't buy a shower gift until the day before...sometimes not until RIGHT before! lol I'm sure other people are the same way, so I wouldn't worry.

We only have a handful of stuff bought off of our registry, more than half of it is from my BMs. My shower is in two weeks as well.

One of my showers is in a week, and there hasn't been a lot of stuff bought, either.

Does anyone else wish you could prioritize what you want? I want our dishes and silverware most of all, but none of it has been bought yet =\

I know one person ordered a gift from Kohls and could not take it off my registery

My first shower is 3 weeks away with a lot of people and only 2 gifts have been purchased from our registeries. So as others have mentioned I think people just wait.

THere was a shower for me 2 weeks ago...only my mom bought off the registry. Everyone just got me what they thing I want...(which kinda defeats the point of registries...and Im not so thrilled about some of the gifts, and no one offered gift reciepts, so I have a lot of crap I didnt want now...but I also got some good stuff, or stuff from the registry that apparently they either didnt tell the store that it was from a registry, or that they bought elsewhere)

My inlaws got me a breadmaker. No offense, but I will never make bread, its time consuming and I get free 'healthy' bread from someone I know, so its not a cost saver or healthier anyways...my FI says we cant take it back because his dad picked it out and will be offended...well I am offended that people who knew the best how to access our registry and have asked numerous times didnt get us something we actaully wanted or needed....but anyways. I did get a crockpot (from someone else) thats better then the one on the registry so that was exciting!

LOL, I've been registry stalking too and was getting worried about having a very few items checked off my registry... Well my shower is tomorrow and as I looked tonight, suddenly there are tons of items purchased, so YES people procrastinate!

TPC sorry to hear about your breadmaker, what an awkward gift lol
