Sad Shower registry

Dani318

This is Kind of a vent! Even though i am thankful to receive any kind of gifts I'm a tad disappointed in my registry buys. I am having one huge shower about 40 people this Saturday and nobody's buying off my registry people are asking me questions about nursery decor and I guess doing their own thing. I guess the items you really need aren't fun for people to buy. Anyways just kinda frustrating after spending weeks on my registries, at least its a list for me to go by I'm gonna have a LOT to purchase

Lots of people buy gifts last minute so don't worry too much. Maybe they know what you need better than you do, smiley.

Mine is next Sunday, and 2 items (toys) have been purchased. I'm not too worried about it. First of all, most people wait till the last minute. Pay day (for a lot of people) was Friday, and its a holiday weekend. If they want to buy off your registry, the

Don't stress.  I buy shower gifts like the day before or even the day of.

I agree with you on one thing, you are going to have A LOT to buy. I'm guessing 18 yrs plus college tuition!

You're having a baby and no one really HAS to buy you anything. Registries are merely suggestions. I'm just grateful for everything

Yeah I guess your right about most people waiting till the last minute. I'm not stressing too bad I know babys are expensive forever! Anyways just seeing if any of you were experiencing the same thing. Hope y'all had a good Easter

After going to a friends shower where I was the only person to buy off her registry I'm not expecting much different for mine. It's frustrating because there is a reason you create a registry. It's ok that you feel like this. It's not like you'll go on a

I don't think about shopping for a baby shower until a day or two before the shower.

It will all be fine.  We had no showers before our son was born as we adopted him.  Showers were after he was home with us.  We survived just fine

You should always assume you will buy everything you need for your baby. Anything you receive as a gift is just extra. A registry lets people know what you need and want but isn't an order.

Rather than be disappointed that you aren't getting stuf

Sometimes people will buy items that are on your registry, but not put it under it so that you don't know it's been purchased. My family does that to me!!

Please, please, please don't let this affect your attitude going into your shower!

Seriously - just stop looking at your registry, allow yourself to get excited about what a fun day it's going to be, and then be pleasantly (and genuinely) surpris

I just had a moderate sized shower Saturday (25 people) and most people purchased the day before! I was pleasantly surprised that even though people didn't purchase off my registry, they still purchased the same or similar items (probably cheaper somewher

If you have people asking you questions, I would guide them to your registry.  Sometimes I don't buy off the registry, but rather use it as a guide.  But I'm also one to include all receipts in case someone doesn't like the gift.

I understand what you mean. I know it seems whiney or ungreatful but it is still a little disappointing. My shower with DH's family is next weekend and so far I am only aware of 1 thing that was bought from my registry. I think part of the issue with DH's

I'm sorry, I had to LOL. I didn't get anything off my registry. We got a ton of diapers, wipes and clothes. I'm very thankful they got us stuff we could use.

No judgement. As many people that say they're so grateful for anything they receive some of those women feel disappointed too. They may not express it, but i'm sure you're not alone. I hope your shower will be fine and you'll be pleasantly surprised

Sounds like you guys went through the same thing so now I know it's just not my friends and family. You are so right I'm gonna promise myself not to look at the registry again and be surprise and enjoy the time with family and friends!!! Thanks!

My friend had a shower last week and said she mostly got clothes for her little girl. She said she did not receive one bottle. I was really shocked and I hope that does not happen to me.

I feel like people tend to go cute clothes crazy with girls, and it's all they buy. I'm hoping since mine is a boy that won't happen. I'm a very practical person. I would be thrilled with wipes, diapers, bottles, burp cloths. I hope my family is just as p
