Thoughts on registry for second pregnancy

AmandaPV13

Hi! I am 19 weeks pregnant with twins- due at the end of July. Three years ago with my first child my co-workers through me a beautiful shower & were very generous with gifts. The same people want to throw me a "sprinkle" since we are having twins and will need additional things. They are making it a little more low-key (being held at a local bar/restaurant) and want to invite males and females and make it a "happy hour" type of atmosphere. Some of the people throwing the sprinkle asked me to do another registry so that people would know exactly what we need. I am going to be honest- I feel kind of weird doing this. I don't want seem greedy or that it's expected people buy us gifts AGAIN. Thoughts? I am looking too much into this? Is there a more PC way to do this?? Thank you!!

PC be damned. If people want to throw you a party and would like you to pick out the things you need most (good idea since you liekly have at least 1 of somethings, right?) then do it.

I think I agree. If people are offended by it being a "second shower", then they shouldn't go. But it sounds really laid back and your coworkers sound like they are genuinely happy for you so go for it.

I agree with the other ladies.. I say go for it!

Umm this sounds no way like any sprinkle that I have been invited to, it sounds like a shower- complete with the registry.

It is tacky and gift grabby. I can hear the  " but I need these things" and " I am having twins".  Well I had twins and shocker- my husband and I bought all the big ticket items and most of the other things ourselves- because you know we are the parents and decided to have a child.

If money is tight then shop second hand- join a twin club- the members of my club are always selling items and then there is the semi annual resales.  Secondly, you don't need two of EVERYTHING.

I don't agree with second showers but since they are throwing you one you  might as well have a small registry with items that are necessities so you don't look gift grabby but also get gifts that will be useful. ( Diapers, bottles etc...)

No clue if we'll have a sprinkle/shower this go round but we do have a registry. Though it's mostly for us to keep track & get the 5%/10% back from BRU... though I'm not sure if we'll tell people about it. Most things we need a 2nd of we'll be getting 2nd hand (as well as the triple stroller that we prefer). I don't see it as "gift grabby" but I also don't tend to get offended by most of that stuff...unless you're posting the registry to Facebook every day....
