Hello, my name is Zakiya and I'm a registry stalker

Ladies, I am sooooo bad at this!  I. Can. Not. Help. It.  My shower's on June 4 and I know that I should be surprised and all but I can't stop looking at my registry!  Since the wedding's back home in Ohio, a few of our gifts have been shipped here to Washington but for the most part a lot of gifts still haven't been purchased.  We all know how our people are so I'm sure gifts will start to be purchased a week to a few days before the shower and wedding.  

Anyone else do any registry stalking???  It's become an addiction!

    I'm stalking... but I'm starting to think that "black folk" either 1.) don't buy gifts til the same day, or 2.) are just going to bring a card and cash.

    <div>You're welcome!  The font on that invitation is actually the same font I have, but like I said you can change the way the letters look and the designer made it to where the letters aren't as scprity and loopy.  You can ask her to change the letters to make them look like mine if you want her to.  Good luck!  </div>

    I been stalking! Its a daily event for my life! And Yes I agree with TyBoyd... cause my people are slacking! But I know my cousin has purchased a bunch of stuff from our registry at stores that we aren't registered at cause she found them cheaper!

    A week to go and your gifts aren't updated yet? Oh boy!!! Maybe they know you are stalking so they are making you suffer?????

    I have been willing myself not to look.  Even though, at 2 months out I highly doubt anything has been bought yet.

    I was a stalker....Nearly 90% of my gifts came from my registry. Most people pull your registry list, but doesn't ensure the store take it off your wish list. I received only a few duplicates because of this! I think you'll will be ok....plus I got lots of money which is always good! Have fun ladies at your showers!
