When did people buy your wedding gifts

augustlawbride, on July 26, 2017 at 8:19 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6

So I'm curious when did you find most of your wedding gifts were purchased off the registry. I'm not trying to sound gift grabby (I've been very blessed with what I've received already), I'm just genuinely curious. We've received gift cards at some of our showers and there are definitely things that if we don't receive we'll want to use them for, so I'm curious when I should think okay, most folks are done so we should plan to use our BBB gift cards for X. We're still 16 days out, but the wedding is back in our hometown and I'm at our new place in a different state and am worried about things being sent while I'm/we're away. (I'll have my mail held, but not sure about UPS/FedEx.)

Also, what was the item that you though for sure you'd get that seems to linger on your registry? For me it's our wine glasses. I was sure at $10 a set we'd get them quickly, but they're still there.

    I did not have a bridal shower, but I made a registry mostly because people kept asking. People did not start buying gifts off of it until maybe a month ago, and I haven't received any yet.

    I was surprised to see a boardgames my FH register for get purchased, but I'm honestly suprised anyone bought anything.

    I got gifts from my registry from my shower but I'm not expecting gifts off my registry for the wedding - I would assume most get cash or gift cards at their wedding

    Our registry was mostly purchased before the shower and then a few remaining items for our wedding. We used the completion discount for the remainder.

    People bought us items off the registry for the shower, and at the wedding, except for 3 gifts everything was cash/checks.

    I am expecting a lot of them to come after the wedding. Several family members on FH's side work for the state so they get paid like 1-2 days after the wedding. They have already told us that they will give us a gift after they get paid.
