Invites went out last week = MAJOR registry stalking this week

Oh boy. I sent out the invites last week, and put a link to our website on them. I work in email marketing, so I'm a big metrics nerd anyway, and I've been constantly checking the website hits/clicks all week. I saw that there have been a few clicks on the registry, so naturally I had to go check it and see what was bought and who bought it. We haven't received any of the actual gifts in the mail yet, but I am already SO excited about them, and I'm totally touched that some people bought gifts so quickly.

I'm like a child checking my parents' closet at Christmastime. My FI wants to be surprised, and doesn't understand why I keep looking. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • I sent mine out on Thursday, I'm stalking too.  People keep telling me when they are going shopping for my presents too.  It's impossible for me not to peek immediately after that!  I mean seriously, why would anyone tell me that.  Everyone knows I'm bad with presents too.  My mom used to wrap mine right before it was time to open them because, I would unwrap them, rewrap them and put them back under the tree as a kid.  FI hides my Christmas presents at his parent's house.  I have no self control when it comes to presents.

  • Yes. I have no shame! The way I figure, the stuff we registered for isn't a surprise, it's the stuff that comes from off the registry that is the surprise. So why not? I still peek at presents under the tree, though. Yup, twenty-eight, going on seven. ;)

  • Our shower is next weekend so I check it every day.  I feel like such a kid! LOL
  • Shower invitations went out last week and people have been rsvp-ing for it.  I've been checking my registry every day (sometimes twice, when work is boring).  There hasnt' been much change lately, but I just looked (because of this thread) and someone bought our toaster oven (squee!). 
  • My wedding invitations are being sent out this week, with my bridal shower invites being sent out next week. My registry is about to be legit stalked! lol

  • Seriously, it makes the pain of getting the invites out totally worth it!!

    We just got our first few RSVPs today, and the two declines were the same two people who have already purchased gifts.... interesting.
