Be honest - did you peek at your registry before the shower?

Question

I'm trying so hard to resist!!!

Answer

No I looked at it afterwards when I was done opening my 1000 onesie's and 4 foot stack of blankets .... I didn't get a single thing off of it! People just do what they want now I guess so all tho everything is usable it's all very impractical 😩 I spent the entire day after running around shopping for stuff I needed .. I got 75 in gift cards so that helped a bit .... I really enjoyed the bbq we had it was a ton of fun to be around everyone and have fun but I won't do it again if so it will be byob and I'll make everyone bring a dish ... After all the money we spent I could've gotten everything I needed and had money left over

Answer

I didnt know you weren't supposed to.....
I kept an eye on mine because i was still shopping for baby as well and needed to see what was purchased. With my son i had 93 people at my baby shower and almost every single person bought from my registry 😊
My shower for this baby is next month and i havent even registered yet!

Answer

I don't think it's right for some women to expect to get everything on the registry, especially big item stuff that you should buy yourself! I get a stroller, a playpen or a swing but to expect mostly everything to be bought is ridiculous! Our baby showers here where I live friends, or could be the friends of your parents will give you some clothes, maybe some pacifiers or a basket of stuff for baby to use like soap but the only people who actually will buy a swing for you or a stroller is the parents! No one expects that much from people, I think you should buy the big items yourself but don't get me wrong it would be incredibly nice!! Just don't be selfish when you don't get it :)

Answer

I did, and almost no one got anything off it. A lot of people (including my MIL) got something that was similar but they liked better. Which was frustrating because I spent  time picking out exactly what I liked and wanted.

Answer

My invites for my shower haven't gone out yet, but so far we've had a couple of gifts bought off of our registries. I only check them (we have two) because in the store they told us to keep an eye out for items that become unavailable. I've already had to remove things and replace them with new items. Like the boppy cover I picked out, a few of the hooded towels, and bibs had to be swapped.

Answer

I wish we had registries here :/ .. I  have to make a list of things I have and the things people already said they were buying for me and let everyone know. Makes me feel like i'm bugging them.

Answer

I check it everyday haha. I have some things double registered based on some people having access to certain stores based on location so I'll remove something from one registry if it's bought off another.

Answer

Totally hahah

Answer

I would've been overjoyed if I had gotten more then one box of diapers ... I mean come on that's like the go to gift! Lol

Answer

I wanted to, but I didn't. It would have ruined the surprise! Plus, some things were from people that mailed them to our house that couldn't make it to the shower, so seeing it taken off the registry but not getting it at the shower would have big such a bummer. PLUS, like someone said, people do what they want - we got TONS of clothes. And people SUCK at taking things off the registry, so I got things from my registry, but no one got it removed from the list, so it doesn't show it as being purchased. Don't peek! Have a little fun being surprised! Look afterward!
