Baby Sprinkles...whats tacky?

My friend has offered to throw me a baby sprinkle, which I'm excited about. However is it acceptable to register for these things? I have heard it is, but only for teh stuff you need....I don't really need much of anything as this is #2 and we're reusing pretty much EVERYTHING accept nursery furniture/decor and a few other big ticket items ( double stroller) which we're obviously buying. I could really use diapers/wipes/formula "donations" and random little stuff ( few new bottles,bath soaps, few baby oufits new bouncy seat as DD#1's got trashed...). Is it ok to only ask for those things or is it tacky to ask for diapers/wipes/formula? Would my guests look at me sideways?

    I would go ahead and make a registry.  If people ask if youre registered you can point them the way, or if they ask what you need you can tell them.  But, I wouldnt be the one to start that conversation

    If I were on board with these, which I'm not, I would not expect the mother to register.

    i'm hosting a baby sprinkle on sunday and the mom to be registered.  mostly for diapers, wipes, bottles...the necessities.  i would do it just so you have somewhere to point people who ask.

    Why wouldn't you be on board for a "sprinkle"?

     

    OP: Don't register. If you want have your friend call it a "diaper shower", or just put on the invites that diapers and wipes would be preferable gifts, if any.

    In my family we have sprinkles, the mom registers so we know what she wants, but its what you said basic stuff. And extra carseat, a double stroller and then mostly just a few bibs and stuff and then diapers and wipes.

    If you need it put it down, people choose what to buy when you register, and whatever they dont get you can. Registerys are there to help people get an idea of what you need and want.
