People wanted to buy pricier gifts??

Jesus lord I have never even heard of such a thing. It really makes no sense to me. My mom tells me two people asked her if I wanted anything else more expensive than what was on my registry. I said to her like what??? She said over $100 expensive. She bought me my kitchen aid already so that’s not...

I said to her like what??? She said over $100 expensive. She bought me my kitchen aid already so that’s not on there. All my dishes equate to over $100 dollars there’s a pot set over $100 and fricken roomba. That’s 3 gift ideas right there to satisfy whoever the hell decided to ask. I’m sorry but who asks that crap?? Buy more than one gift or the most expensive gifts then or just give me cash at the wedding... I told my mom I have never been and never will be an expensive person. I’m not putting a ninja blender on my registry just to satisfy someone else. I put on what I wanted and that’s that.

    Omg seriously. Like I don't want anything else besides money at the wedding. We didn't do a honeymoon fund. It's like you're more than welcome to spend over $100 on something else but like there's this really nice roomba we would like on our registry.... haha I don't get it. I feel like my mom should just not tell me these things cuz it pisses me off.

    It's just strange to me because there are options of pricier gifts so why not just get those? It's almost like they were like nahh I don't want to get THOSE expensive gifts. Well sorry my registry doesn't please you. I wish my mom didn't tell me because it's just annoying and stressful.

    There are for sure worse things than someone asking if they can spend more money on you than you planned!

    You shouldn't register for things you neither need nor want. That being said, it sounds like the guests are wanting to splurge on your gift for the wedding and I have no idea how on earth that can be seen as offensive.

    Wow I'm sorry about that! My most expensive item on my registry is the kitchen aid and I even felt bad about adding that! Hopefully whoever asked will just buy a gift and give cash or multiple gifts if they really want to spend that much money!

    Right so I’m not going to register for something expensive just to please someone else. It is offensive because it’s the same thing as reaching out and asking if there was anything more affordable on the list... it’s rude in my opinion either way. People have different wants and needs. Respect it and buy from the list or just give a monetary gift at the wedding if they feel it’s so necessary.

    They didn't ask you, they asked your mom. And wanting to do more for someone than what they asked is never rude. I think it's always important to be gracious.

    You shouldn’t ask at all is what I’m saying. And majority on here agreed with me soooo. Want to buy something more expensive? Just buy it then you don’t need to ask permission. Just do it. I can be gracious when people stop being rude about a simplistic task

    Yeah I'm just never going to agree with being offended because someone is trying to do something nice for you. I would assume they were asking your mom if there was something you wanted but hadn't put on the registry so they could treat you guys to that. And if your mom just said, no they have picked out all they could use. That would be the end of it. There was nothing rude about what they did, whether it's interpreted that way or not. People can find a way to be offended by anything today!

    I never thought I'd see someone complaining about someone wanting to buy them a more expensive gift... I think it's nice that someone wanted to treat you to something extra special for your wedding. I put more conservatively priced items on my registry (know your crowd kind of thing), but I do have a few family members who I know will want to buy something more expensive so I put a few higher priced items on the registry. You are supposed to have gifts in multiple price ranges. Under $50, under $75, under $100, under $200, then a few $200 and up.

    I hear ya! It’s tough because I hate asking for expensive things that we might not use that much and have nowhere to store. I see that you said you already got a kitchen aid, have you thought about adding any of the attachments to your registry? Some of them are at least $100 (which is ridiculous IMO but if you think you’d use them it might be worth it). If you’re still looking for things maybe an upgraded toaster or new microwave? (Those are things we already have and use, and a new one might be nice). As a guest though I probably wouldn’t ask, I’d just accept that whatever’s on the registry is what they want and would actually use. And then just buy what I wanted to buy or give cash/gift card
