Dear Emily Post, (toy registry)

Looking for some etiquette feedback... FTM and I'm trying to plan ahead for DS's 1st birthday.  I've noticed some stores now have a toy registry for kids birthdays and for the holiday season.  Is this something that's actually acceptable to do?  I understand the convenience of it, but I just can't seem to get on board with it.  I guess I'm just old-school.  What are your thoughts? Acceptable or would you side-eye this?

    I'm a list maker, so I like the idea of a registry for me - to help me keep track of ideas I have throughout the year so when it comes time for the event I'm not trying to remember all the good ideas I had.

    I do not like the idea of a registry that would be distributed to friends/families/invitees.  Seems a little gauche to me.

    Yeah, I'm cool with having a list, whether it's written, on my phone, or mental, but it's a list for me.  If someone asks me for said list, I'll share, but to have a registry and share "just in case" seems like you're asking for gifts.

    A registry for a birthday party is tacky, IMO

    We have Amazon lists for each family member and it isn't just gifts, we put practical stuff on there too so we remember to get them-handy if there is particular brand to get. The only people that have access to it is the grandparents as it eliminates duplicate gifts for birthdays/Christmas. They always asked for detailed lists and wanted to be told what to get. Now a public registry like it is a shower??? Tacky!!
