Wow so you are saying that they have a shower yet they are only registered for gift cards? That is completely pointless in my opinion. A shower is for gifts.
Yep I checked every one of their registries and the only thing on them is numerous gift cards of more money than I can afford (broke student). So I don't want to show up to a shower with a card and a gift card...that seems silly to me. I've never been to a shower before though so I have no idea what is expected.
Get them a gift you can afford. I think it's very rude to register only for expensive things! They should be happy with whatever amount people choose to give, and if they are not, that's their problem, not yours.
Thanks, I was kinda surprised when I couldn't find anything to actually buy from their registry. The shower is this weekend so I have been freaking out trying to figure out what the right thing to do is.
I agree, buy a gift you can afford. If they don't appreciate it, they are very rude and brats!
I'd go to the shower with a bottle of wine or something small, you dont owe them gifts and especially gift cards! Dont blow your budget, a gift shouldnt be a hardship!
Go off registry. Nothing says that you HAVE to buy from a registry -- these are merely suggestions. But, you might want to do it at a store where they are registered so that if it's something they don't want they can return it for a registry item (or to add to that gift card stash).
Thanks, those are really great ideas! I feel kinda silly for getting so stressed about this now lol, but I didn't want to show up and break some kind of etiquette rule with whatever gift I did end up bringing. I'll go to the store they registered at tomorrow and see if there is any meaningful gifts that I could get for them from there :)
Thanks for letting me get some sleep tonight! :)
Could you give them a gift card for a smaller amount, even if it is for $10? That is what I would do.
Strange! I'd buy a bottle of wine. If you have the money, you can also get them a couple of wine glasses to go with it. But I wouldn't buy someone a gift card for a shower, and certainly not a $200 one. Don't feel bad; probably most people they invite wouldn't do that either.

What would you do if you checked a gift registry and noticed they had only registered for gift cards- in specific amounts that are above your budget? I have NO idea what to buy for the shower or the wedding! Do I just get a less expensive gift card (for both events) or buy something completely different?
