How many people bought of registry for baby shower?

Question

I feel like we put in a lot of work on it and it's under utilized.

Answer

I always follow a registry. Frankly, it's rude not to.

For my own shower I got every single thing off my registry and I had around 40 guests come. A few people bought "extras" like things they liked or outfits/clothing in addition to a registry item.

It literally infuriates me when people are too lazy to go pick something off a registry. People then have to return gifts or try to figure out where they even came from. Just buy them what they ask for and if you want to be personal, buy a second more personalized gift.

If you want people to follow the registry I'd put it on the invitation to please select items from the store(s) you chose. Something like, "in an effort to be prepared for baby, please follow our registry at _____"

Answer

I've seriously only had about half of mine come from my registry. I am of course grateful but I'd rather get some bottles than a stuffed toy he won't play with for a couple of months. I assumed that people would use the registry since it wouldn't be hard to pick from.

Answer

Almost everything off my registries (one in Canada and one US) were purchased. Which was so nice because those were the items we needed. I ALWAYS follow a registry when I'm buying fir someone else too.

Answer

When I get lazy to go to the story to buy off the registry I just buy an amazon gift card 😬 Mom to be can still order what she needs from the comfort of her home 🙃 but I definitely don’t buy a random gift.

Answer

My first shower was only maybe 1/4-1/3 of the guests used the registry. It was really frustrating. I'm about 10 days out from a shower for my second and only 1 thing has been purchased off my registry. I always try to use a registry or at least include a gift receipt so exchanges/returns are easy. It's obnoxious when others aren't that considerate.

Answer

Almost everyone bought from our registry and I was SO thankful. My SIL just had her shower last month though and got literally nothing but clothes and blankets. No bottles, gear, pacifiers, baby wash, nothing. The only thing that came off her registry was the baby bath I bought her. I was so angry for her. Literally it's made easy for guests when it's on the invitation saying "so-and-so is registered at...." I'm sure they're grateful for any gift they receive, but I ALWAYS buy from the registry because I'd rather the mama get a practical gift she'll need and that she actually spent time picking out rather than another stuffed animal or cutesy outfit.

Answer

I didn't even make one

Answer

Only my mother in law across the country has bought from it so far
