1st Trimester

Just an FYI

I haven't actually started buying or putting together a registry yet as I am only 9 weeks, but I do a lot of browsing.  

Last night I found that if you create your BRU registry by November 15, you will get a promotional gift card up to $200 after your due date.  It sounds too good to pass up so DH and I decided that we will be starting an early registry in a couple of weeks to take advantage of this cool sounding offer.  

Just wanted to share :)

Re: Just an FYI

  • Is that posted somewhere on their website??  I may need to make a registry early too!!

  • If you go to their website and click on Baby Registry.  They're calling it "The Sweetest Registry Deal Ever" - first time they've done it.  Good luck :)

  • I went and looked at this.  I won't be having a shower this time as it's baby 2 for me, but I thought if I can get a discount like that I'll register anyway!  However, read the fine print, it's 10% of whatever gets purchased off your registry, up to $200.  So, for me, makes no sense and no one will be buying anything! 

     

    For the first time ever, you can get
    up to $200 for purchases made from
    your registry. Simply create your
    Baby Registry between Sept. 16
    and Nov. 15
    ! Then you’ll get a
    Promotional Gift Card e-mailed to
    you approximately 10 weeks after
    your baby's expected arrival date,
    valued at 10% (up to $200) of the
    items purchased from your registry.*

    Yes I read the fine print - it makes sense for us since this is our first and my mother and MIL are already talking shower.  I'm sure that anything extra will be helpful - even if we get $100 to put towards diapers that would be amazing.  
  • We also plan on buying our own big ticket items so we'll throw them on the registry and purchase them ourselves so we still get the credit.  
  • My mother may throw me a "sprinkle", she did with my sister's second.  However, we're of the "showers are for the first baby" party, but will probably throw a bbq or something as a welcome baby once he/she arrives :).  They are so close in age that we still have all the stuff from C, so we don't NEED anything other than some new onesies and more diapers.

  • The second shower topic?  I don't mind if someone wants to throw one, I certainly don't judge, it's just NMS.  That said, if someone decides to throw me any kind of baby party, I will NOT turn it down :).  I think every one really just needs to relax about it, I feel like it's one of those "to each their own" topics that really isn't worth getting your knickers in a twist about.

  • Meh, I'm of the belief that showers are to welcome a FTM to motherhood. Once you have one kid you are no longer new to motherhood. If you want to "celebrate the baby" it makes more sense to do so when baby is actually present to be the guest of honor. A shower could celebrate a pregnancy, that might fly for me.

    Just like anything else on this site folks have differing opinions. That said, I myself, had second showers because I had folks offer. I appreciate their generosity. No, the same guests were not present for the other showers.

  • Does anyone know if stuff is added to the registry after the 15th of Nov will still be included? Exampl: if I sign up now add one thing and then wait closer to due date will it still count?
