Re: Let the whoring begin! CP that may cause controversy!
I totally side-eye weird and random stuff on wedding registries so this would be no different.
Do you have an example you would like to share?
Plus, I was registered at C&B and Williams and Sonoma... not many baby friendly things there.
The wedding registry I posted over the weekend has a bunch of stuff for their children on it. Well, not a bunch but pink towels and disney princess bedding etc. I think it's tacky as hell. But then again..I don't really understand why they registered for 90% of the things they registered for. And I don't see why a couple that has been living together for years and has two children need new plates/silverware. Have they been using paper this whole time? I get having new things but where do you draw the line?
I honestly don't have an idea of what is normal. Aside from my own wedding (which was tacky, I suppose), I've only been to two other weddings. I'd probably think it was odd, but I wanted to put legos on our wedding registry and we didn't even have kids at the time. My H told me no legos.
ETA: Anniversaries are not registries.
Yeah ok, totally side-eye the pink towels.
I am all for upgrades in registries. My Dh and I lived together for 3 years before we were married and our stuff was junky. We got awesome upgrades at my shower... that's what registries are for!
As long as it is "home" related I am ok with it. (Except for stuff for their kids).
In my circle though, gifts are never given at the actual wedding... only cash is. We didn't even have a "gift table" just an envelope box. Registries are just for showers and engagement parties.
Tacky with that gorgeous WhichGoose headpiece? I think NOT!
I think that is cute and funny though. I would be the one to buy the legos. A friend of ours got married a few years back and registered for a star wars video game. I bought it for them because I think that is hilarious. Plus, I like playing video games with my husband so it seemed relevant to me because they could play it together.
I just don't get why someone would register for sheets and towels for their kid. If we weren't married but had Liam we wouldn't register for bottles and toys. We had a shower. If they wanted towels and sheets, they should have registered for them then.
We lived together too before we got married, so don't think I'm sticking my nose up at that. We also had junk while we were together, so now we have nicer stuff because of our wedding. I see your point.
They should have registered for their animals too! What about their dog, cat, hamster, rabbit and bird? HUh? They all should have princess beds and gold bowls lined with diamonds to drink out of.
How dare they forget their animals but remember their children in their WEDDING registry.
AND... Mikehoncho... get them the lampshade. JUST the shade. Nothing more.
This is my line of thinking exactly.
My pit bull was my ring bearer.
Hmm, I never thought of that. We just added stuff that we thought would look weird to our registry after we had Li and used the completion for that after the fact. But this could be true too.
I've never even heard of what you posted. But if you are truly adding something to get the completion coupon, I would do it after the event.
No joke - I was invited to a wedding and their registry had dog food on it.
Along with super soaker squirt guns.
You don't know unless you ask, right?
This is the second wedding we've gone to that has done this.
The lampshade they want is online only. Should I just get them a random one? Better yet, a lava lamp.
A15 January Siggy Challenge-
Thus is exactly what I was thinking.
Unfortunately it doesn't work after the event. You only get the discount for things added before the event. Tried this for my baby shower, and I wasn't able to get anything discounted that I added after the fact
I feel like people expect too much on registries these days. Like asking guests to put money on their honeymoon or big screen tvs. I don't really get it.
