Registry not used

Tara, on June 16, 2020 at 6:55 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 7
I don’t want to come off ungrateful as I realize that people are not expected to buy us gifts, and I’ve even told them so. However, we spent a lot of time making our registry for my bridal shower that’s in 12 days. Only 3 gifts have been bought so far out of 30 attendees. I’m really concerned what people are going to bring. I don’t need 12 toasters lol 😂 Anyone else experience this? What was the outcome? We have two registry’s, amazon and target. Most of the items we really need are on amazon which I assume we might not get now due to shipping times. I’m sure it’ll be fine, but I’m just curious about other people’s experiences. Thanks!

    Probably 75% of our gifts came off of our registry the weekend before our shower. Honestly, I've purchased a gift on my way to a shower before, so I wouldn't worry too much.

    Most people don’t buy gifts until much closer to the day of the event and lots of people give gift cards or money so don’t worry about it.

    Yeah, I just had my bridal shower this past Sunday and 90% of the gifts were purchased in the 4 days leading up to the shower. I also got a LOT of gift cards for Target (where we were registered) and for Home Depot (we plan on remodeling our house after the wedding).

    Okay good to know! I guess I’m just concerned about shipping times for Amazon. I guess we will see 😊

    Some people don’t gift off registries that’s for sure. I know at my shower I had a handful of people gift me something that wasn’t on my registry

    Yeah it’s frustrating but I guess it is what it is.
