171. Reviews of Target, BBB and shower experiences so far (long)

     

     Discussion by csuave · July 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

     We had our shower on Sunday (it was great!) and did returns yesterday so I thought I would share my experiences. BBB we did most of the registry online and were happy with how easy it was to use. We had no issues with duplicates and the registry seemed to get updated promptly even registering one “off registry” item as “0…

172. Re: How Did You Decide on Where to Register for Various Items

     I started by finding a set of dinnerware that we both really loved. That happened to be at Sur La Table, so we are registered there, even though it is not one of the more common stores. I then added BBB (they do have a little bit of everything!) So I would start by asking, which items are the most important to you? Do…

     DH and I are still navigating the shoals of "cash or gift." When he was single, he only gave cash. I've only ever given physical presents. We went to a wedding while we were engaged/dating that was for and old friend of mine. We bought them towels (on their registry), and spent $100 for $200 worth of towels (they got…

     I use our griddle all the freaking time! Love it. Some of these are random but I use them often. Great cooking utensils. We have all OXO ones now and I love them. Glass measuring cups. Organizational stuff (baskets/cubbies for inside drawers) Dyson vacuum (already had one, but would have registered for it) KitchenAid Stand…

     I got really good at this when I lived in Nepal with no washer or dryer (jeans are a bitch to hand wash BTW) You're going to want a large sink or multiple buckets. Take a drop of laundry degeregnt (or woollite for sensitive things) and fill the sink or bucket with cold water and the detergent. Add your item and gently…

     Yep, totally get where you're coming from, but I still wouldn't do it. I'm really good at both saving money and being creative. Like, if I decided to buy you some towels off your registry, I'd wait for a sale, use a coupon AND possibly a gift card (which I consider free money), then combine the towels with a jar of my…

     I would never even think to not buy someone something off of their registry. I agree with other pp's couples take the time to figure out what they like and what they need. The last shower I went to I felt really bad for the bride. So many people bought things on their own and she got duplicates of a lot of items. It also…

178. Registry Question

     

     Discussion by lovemesomemonster · February 2015 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

     FI and I have lived together for 6 years, we own two houses and we are adults, so if we need something we go get it. With the exception of the it would be nice to have things like some new towels or kitchen utensils I am at a loss of what to register for. The only things we "need" are things like interior doors for the new…

     Reply by wcvsb3b5 · March 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

     We have a lot of stuff we need for a house as well. And we are NOT fancy people at all so a lot of the stuff that is on "generic" registry lists we would never use. So we plan to register only a little bit for the people that really want to go that route. We'll probably register for one decent (not over the top) china set,…

     When you're working on come, have a strong, strong smelling treat in your hand and don't hide it. That's a command that really needs to be reinforced. For us, we went through teething start to finish with Ellie. Some piece of getting her to stop using us as a chew toy was a waiting game, once she hit six months and was…
