XP: Did you peek at your registry? BE HONEST!!!

mrscaty · July 2014

OK, did you look at what you were getting before your shower/wedding?

ETA: Sorry there are 2 of the same answer. Apparently I'm poll-illiterate. If you want that answer, pick the first one.

mrscaty · July 2014

It's a struggle, people!!! FH said he would be really mad if I peeked but I did see that 5 gifts have been purchased and I'm DYING HERE!

WinstonsGirl · July 2014

I only checked cos people here talked about Registry Stalking, and it got me thinking about it. I blame all of you!!

KPBM89 · July 2014

I had gotten an email from BBB that an item was being discontinued, so I went on to pick a different brand. I noticed that some things were purchased and that was about it. I like surprises so I'm refusing to look!

jnrsgirl · July 2014

I haven't been back to look at it since we updated the registry before invites were mailed. It got crossed off the list and out of my mind really. Now TK has me curious... lol

emmyg65 · July 2014

I have no self control. I checked practically every day.

AddieCake · July 2014

I checked a couple times. I just really didn't care.

MamaAlly89 · July 2014

Not gonna lie I did check it a few times leading up to my bridal shower. (I hate surprises!) But since then I haven't looked at it. I've been too busy with everything else!!

FiancB · July 2014

I did, but it wasn't very interesting. We know a lot of procrastinators. I think there was like one thing purchased more than a day or two out of the wedding that wasn't sent to our house.

theexactlee · July 2014

I never had a wedding registry but I'll answer this (didn't click anything above) when I had my baby registry I peeked the sh*t outta that thing.

sarahufl · July 2014

oh, haha- I look all the time.

No self-control.

But, also- FMIL tells us all the time that we need to add more stuff and we have nothing on there. So I go look and there are, like, 50 items. Not sure what she means by "nothing".

southernbelle0915 · July 2014

I never did. I just didn't think about it...

goldchocobo.defunct635829490514903826 · July 2014

I check occasionally, and feel no guilt whatsoever. Of course, my wedding is a way off, and I'd be surprised if anyone used it right now....

theartistformerlyknownas · July 2014

I swore I wasn't going to check, then spoiled some things for myself while going through and making sure nothing was discontinued, not thinking anyone would have shopped yet. After that I was like a moth to a flame. I DID notice one thing where someone had bought the next level higher camp grill than the one we had registered for, so I was able to delete the original one before we got dupes. So I like to convince myself I'm doing people a favor. :-p

ashley8918 · July 2014

I have absolutely zero self-control. I actually went and checked after reading the title of this thread, hahaha.

@lolo883, the exact same thing just happened to me with our grill (Awesome!)

Inkdancer · July 2014

I went on our registry to add some stuff and got caught up in seeing what people had gotten. I haven't checked since then, though. I'm trying to be good!

JaniV123 · July 2014

I have peeked and I will continue to peek because 1) we haven't shared/made public yet and 2) we are buying things off the registries ourselves so

gladyscf · July 2014

We haven't registered anywhere yet and I'm not positive that we will but I was unaware that I shouldn't look.

If we do register, I'm not even going to pretend I won't look.

RebeccaB88 · July 2014

I planned on doing it before (when I was engaged), and I have every intention of doing it the future. I'm shameless. And impatient.

theartistformerlyknownas · July 2014

Then you have that awkward moment when you see that someone bought something you not only didn't register for, but have no use for at all... and have a week to wait before feigning total happy thankfulness for said item while trying not to make this face, because it's still really sweet of them and it's probably something they think you could really use, and you could probably fake it a little better if you weren't thinking about it for a week...

Kauris · July 2014

Now that you mention it, I just did... I will probably peek again before my next shower!

mrsjhodge · July 2014

I didn't register... so I had no idea what I was getting.

jules3964 · July 2014

I have no reason to look this early (our wedding is in October, and most of our guests are procrastinators), but I just can't help myself. I pretty much check everyday. Horrible, I know.

I'm the one who can't wait for Christmas gifts. I snooped many many times as a child, and never really felt good about it either (usually it just made the waiting more difficult), but I couldn't help myself. The impulse still holds strong.

How can you tell that?

If I go to BBB and buy something off a registry and something else, sometimes that something else will show up on the registry as Requested: 0 Bought: 1. Just because it shows up, doesn't mean you'll get it. It also doesn't mean you won't, so the fear is there.

It shows up as "requested = 0 / purchased = 1." Sure, they COULD have purchased something for themselves in addition to something for me, and not done 2 transactions...but won't know til Saturday.

sarawifenow · July 2014

I already know that I will be checking my registry frequently. I already check it because I like to look at the stuff we registered for. FI and I had a blast while registering, so it is nice to remember that day. Lol

caitlinmca · July 2014

We haven't registered yet, wedding is not until April 2015, but I snooped as a kid for Christmas gifts and birthday gifts. I can't do surprises.
