After FI & I registered, anytime I would have an "Ah Ha!" moment, I would go on the websites and add whatever item it was I had thought of. For example, after we booked our honeymoon, I decided to add a personal DVD player and travel bag for the long flight.

But my shower invites were sent out last week. Since then I am paranoid I am going to think of something to add to the registry, but won't be able to! I'm really worried I'm going to forget that I'm not supposed to be looking at the registries any more!

Anyone else totally against registry snooping? Or worried they also might do it accidently? Or do you like to know ahead of time?

I don't understand the big deal. When people buy stuff off our Amazon registry it arrives a week later anyway, as I discovered this week. You know you're getting items you picked out - it's not really a surprise.

@prttypancake: I have never seen a box before. I would go look, but I dont want to see anything! And I worry that even if it didn't show me the purchased items, I would notice things missing!

@MissAsB: I know that I'll have to check it again, but I'm hoping at least to make it to the shower - so that way what's off the list, we'll technically have. Then I figure I'll go back on there and add more if need be. Probably like the week after the shower. I figure people who are buying for the shower will be done and people who will be buying for the wedding, might not have started yet.

For those of you who are going to check in on your registry ongoing, how often? Or how much did you ever have to add to it?

I couldn't say if it's right or wrong but I can see why people do it. At some point, there will come a time when all you have left may be expensive items that some people may not be able to afford at all. People do generally shop last minute. So if there anything that you forgot to add (lower priced items for example) or if you want to update it for any reason, you need to know what is going on with it, so in that case snooping (for lack of a better term) is a good idea.

I'm glad I snooped. It's the only way I found out that our everyday dishes had been discontinued :( I was glad I found out in time to put a different set on before anyone had bought any.

I snoop away because I want to make sure there is still a good selection for our guests. I've also had some items get discontinued, so I'm glad I looked and found that out so I could replace them. But if I'm really being honest...I mostly snoop to see what we're getting =)

@NeliBee - I don't think I could look if I knew it was going to tell me who bought what!

@ Selene221 - I'll probably update it after the shower. That way all the gifts that were bought for the shower - we'll already have. And I figure the week after the shower or so will still be really early for our guests to be buying for the wedding day.

@ greenleafmountain - OMG! I couldn't imagine if the dishes were gone! I did see a few things drop off before the shower invites went out, but now that they are out, I'm not looking!
