FI and I are no where near the stage of doing a gift registry if we even register, but already some people have approached me about gifts. Someone asked me the other day if we were doing a joint gift registry at Macy's and I replied we really hadn't thought about it and I tried to bean dip the conversation. She then asked me if I as a bride would have my own separate registry for items. When I asked her what she meant, she suggested that in addition to the usual registry for the couple that the bride needed one for herself to ask for makeup, a designer bag, whatever. She even suggested the groom could have his own if he wanted.
I don't desire to do that but it was the first time I'd heard of a completely separate registry for just what the bride wants. Have I been living under a rock? Just curious.
