I am attending a wedding and my friend and I wanted to buy an expensive gift (s) off the registry, is that rude to do if we share but buy something more expensive? For example, the bride asked for a dyson vacuum that is $450, by myself that is too expensive for me. Just want to know if that is wrong to do?

    Thank you. Just wanted to check that it was okay to do that. I have never shared a gift for a wedding but we will make sure of course the price is fair and we can get her something expenive off her registry. Thanks for the clarificaion.

    When a bunch of us were just out of college we pooled our money to get one of our friends one of the more expensive items on her list. I think when people put the more expensive items on their registry they do it with the thought process of it ending up being a group gift or something they buy themselves utilizing gift cards and cash they received as gifts and taking advantage of the store's completion discount. So she'll probably be like "OMG SOMEONE BOUGHT THE DYSON!!!!"

    Yep, agree with PPs.

    The most expensive thing on our registry is a roomba vacuum, and we're not really expecting to receive it from anyone.  If we get cash gifts, we'll put those towards it after the wedding.  But if a couple friends went in on it together?  OMG we'd be thrilled!

    At my shower this week, I got one present that came from almost all of the invitees- the whole family had pooled to buy my stand mixer. I am not looking forward to writing 15 thank you notes all for the same thing, but I am immensely grateful that they got me the most expensive thing on my registry! Don't worry about going in to share a gift, it's totally okay.
