Registry Observation
ATTN all registry stalkers!
FI and I were stalking ours last night (it's been about 2 weeks since we last checked) and noticed that ALL of our "big ticket" items have been purchased and almost nothing of the smaller stuff has been purchased.
Has anyone else noticed that happent to them?
I would have registered for more expensive things had I known that's what people were going to buy hahaha

Re: Registry Observation
Laurel, if your family is anything like my FI's, they'll be purchasing their gifts on the way to the shower hahaha. Not everyone buys gifts off of registries, either... maybe they'd rather give you cash or gift cards so you can get what you want.
I have my first shower this sunday and my second the following sunday. So, maybe a few of the items will still be purchansed. Otherwise, my FI and I will just get it ourselves.

[QUOTE]I just realized my OP makes me sound like a complete snob. I really didn't mean for it to come off that way... we were REALLY surprised at what was purchased. Neither of us come from families with tons of money or anything. Laurel, if your family is anything like my FI's, they'll be purchasing their gifts on the way to the shower hahaha.

SNOT!! JK!!! We didn't get any of our smaller items either. But we did get a decent amount of gift cards so we are just going to buy the small things ourselves. We pretty much got every big ticket item too except our vacuum which was only $100 bucks so we used a gift card and a 20 % off coupon to buy it.

How exciting!
I noticed something totally different about our registry. People are buying the most random items, not the cheapest and not the most expensive. Like, hand mixer along with hand blender. Is that a weird combo? Also, grill pan and griddle pan. Together. I don't know why, but I find those combinations weird.
I JUST WANT OUR FREAKIN CHINA!
FI found these BEAUTIFUL Waterford wine glasses at Macys during a sip and scan event and it was the only thing we put on our registry that night. They're $400!! We figured we would buy them for our 1 year anniversary if Macy's threw us a discount after the wedding. Someone actually bought them for us....
It's completely humbling to think someone likes us enough to buy us such a generous gift.
Ally, isn't it funny to think about some relative of yours going out and saying "I know what I want to buy them - the pancake spatula!!"
The first early wedding gift we got was a two-piece chip and dip bowl. soooo random.
My shower invites actually went out today (my cousin just emailed me about it!) So I am hoping that my registries FINALLY begin to start saying fulfilled. so far, we just have a few random items that we have already received and a couple smaller things that have been purchased.
