So my mom wants me to start my registry.. but I have already received a lot of gifts.. is it rude to ask for gift cards or money for my baby shower?

Question

Answer

I'm a big fan of getting people what I know they need so I always appreciate when someone just says what they need or want straight up. If it happens to be money/gift card then money or gift card it is from me. That being said, it seems a lot of people go a little nuts with baby showers and want to buy actual things. Maybe you can register for stuff you will need later on? Like larger diaper and clothing sizes? Just for a few things for people to pick up. I know on my babies r us registry it says "gift cards welcome".

Answer

I think it depends how you put it. .. a friend got married and put on her invite that since they live together and have everything already, they just wanted to go on a honeymoon they wouldn't be able to afford alone. Not quite the same, but similar

Answer

Just explain that you have enough gifts. With gift cards you could get extra things for the baby and with money you can save it for a rainy day

Answer

Totally not rude. If you don't know specifically what more you want right now or you want to wait until baby's a little older to buy some more stuff, gift cards are perfect.

Answer

The registry at babies r us lets you add "accepting gift cards" to it. So you can always register there for a few things, and make sure that box is checked.

I dont think it would be rude to straight ask people to give you cash, but I do think it would be really tacky.
