My bridal shower is coming up and I was asked to get a registry together for it. My fiancé and I don’t need a lot of gifts for the house because we have been living together for awhile now. We have a basic registry for towels and bed linens, and then a honeymoon registry that we are really emphasizing if people were to get us something. However, I was wondering if it would be uncalled for to have a separate bridal shower registry for things that I personally want? Such as a gift card to get my nails done for the wedding, or a robe, or maybe a gift card for a facial (or my favorite face products), etc. I have bought so much for my bridal party and I don’t really do stuff for myself. So I was hoping this could be something for me... but I may be wrong according to my MOH.

I totally understand as it should be about you and things that you want but it is a lil sticky maybe just tell this to your bridesmaids or close family

A bridal shower is for physical gifts for the couple so if you don’t have an adequate size physical gift registry I would ask to change the shower to something like a recipe or stock the bar shower. Honeymoon funds aren’t appropriate for a shower.

We are using Honeyfund as our wedding registry that includes honeymoon funds. Honeymoon funds won’t be mentioned for the bridal shower.

I like this idea. So keep the basic registry open to everyone, but if someone close asks specifically what to give my MOH or I could give them an idea.

Bridal showers are specifically meant for showering the couple with physical gifts. Manicures and facials aren’t physical gifts for the couple and would be inappropriate. If you don’t want gifts, simply decline the shower or, as Kelly mentioned, do a stock the bar party or recipe shower instead. You could even do a bridal luncheon with no gifts.

Is it possible to add those personal things to the registry?
If so, then add it. If someone wants to get it for you, they will. If not, they will just scroll to the next item.
Idk whether its appropriate or not, by you can always try. It nothing for any one to get upset over so....
Futhermore, at bridal showers and baby showers, my family always make it a point to get the bride or mother something personal as a reminder to not lose or forget yourself as you transition into the next stage of your life... Usually its a personal massage.
