    I don't mean to sound whiny or greedy, but I'm kinda bummed/stressing. Our registries are quite large bc we have quite a large guest list, and 2 showers. One was this weekend in my hometown and one is in a few weeks here in Boston. The reason that I'm stressing is that while I'd say 75% of our registry items have been purchased, my most coveted items (our crate and barrel every day dinnerware, which was a bit of a splurge as it's bone china but I love it and wanted high quality every day dishes so they aren't chipping in a yr or two) are not TOUCHED! How do I steer people in that direction? Should I delete other things so it's obvious that that's what's left? Should I ask my fi's mom to spread the word? Or just let it go, hope we get them, and if not, make returns in order to get them? Any ideas? Thanks!!!!

    I wouldn't worry too much about it since you still have another shower yet. If anything, maybe I would add a few more place settings. Since most of your stuff was given at your first shower, I'd worry more about not having enough of a variety for your guests to choose from.

    Thanks for the reassurance, I am pretty sure though that much of the stuff off the registries are for the upcoming shower or wedding gifts as only about half or even 1/3 was received at the past shower. Adding a few place settings isn't a bad idea.. hmm. Thanks!!

    You'll also probably get some cash at the wedding that you could put towards your uncompleted sets.
