1401. Re: Must haves on a registry?

      

      Reply by sjersey86 · April 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

      Our must haves are the KitchenAid stand mixer, cookware, Tassimo, and goblets. There are things I plan on putting on our registry 1 or 2 days before our wedding so we can get the completion discount like our steam cleaner, luggage to complete the set I have and for FI to have a matching set but in a different color, more…

      I think there were about 30-40 people at mine, and I've been to similarly sized showers for other girls. I would feel weird about registering for lingerie if people like my mom, FMIL, aunts, etc. would be there. Actually, I wouldn't really want to register for it if the party just had my friends there, either, but if I HAD…

      Yes, absolutely an older generational thing. Back in the day ( more my mama's day than mine) you were not only expected to be prepared for marriage with a hope chest full of tea towels and table linens and house things, you were expected to bring a nice trousseau, of a few good wardrobe pieces and all your nightwear and…

      We got lots of wine at our housewarming, a few photo frames and some Home Depot gift cards. My favorite gift, besides the wine, was a large glass jar with a nice dish towel, some funny cocktail napkins, hand soap and cocktail toothpicks. The jar is reusable and I thought the other things were really useful. We also had…

      Tonight we have a trivia night for one of Son's baseball teams. We have a couple friends, my mom, sister and two cousins coming to complete our table. I really hate trivia nights, but I never have a bad time with my family, plus I'm bringing a ton of food, so it should be ok. Tomorrow is more baseball stuff (field cleanup…

      Hello There Despite those that say that it is rude to ask for money - I beg to differ. I am getting married at the end of this year and I have my own place just as he does. It would be too much for us to receive items for our place if we already have them. I have friends and sisters who were in the same situation that…

      Make a small registry. Do you entertain? You can always use new or seasonal serving dishes/fine china & crystal. Do you cook? The KA stand mixers are awesome, and the gadget section of WS is sort of a dream come true. Do you do none of those things? Well you still need sheets and towels, and those items wear out. OP, don't…

      I know I am going to get a ^$*(&$ Storm for this one...But unless you want to replace items that you already have for new ones, like dishes and towels...then why not do a honeymoon registry? My FI and I are doing that after seeing the last 6 of our friends do it...and btw. we already ran it by family members and they are…

      Reply by mcskatcat · June 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

      This question has been asked many times before. The general consensus is that you should allow people to give you $$, then donate to charity. Don't tell people what to do with their money, because gifts should never be mentioned - even if it's to say "don't give us gifts." Instead, don't register. Most people will get the…
