My friend is getting married soon and her cousin (one of my very close friends) is throwing her the shower. In all my excitement I went ahead and found her registry info online. I picked out what I wanted to get her and waited patiently for my invitation.
Well, the invitation came in the mail yesterday and with it, registry information in the form of a card insert. It was not the same place I had found online.
The thing is, both registries are on the smaller side, something that I noticed right away because her shower is supposed to be on the larger side. Also, none of the items on both registries overlap.
I'm guessing that she registered at both places and some guests are being directed to one registry while other guests are being directed to the other. Or perhaps the second registry card didn't make it into my envelope by accident? Either way, nothing on the registry I was given really interests me. It's mostly a budget thing, partly an item thing. The other registry, how ever, has a few things on there I was really looking forward to choosing from. They fit my budget much better, too.
Is it okay for me to mention any of this to the cousin when I RSVP, though? Just a, "Hey, I noticed she was also registered at X. Is that a registry I can use or should I stick with the one you directed me to?" Or should I just forget I ever found that second registry online?
Edited for paragraphs, hopefully it worked.
