MemberI’m finding myself checking my (2) registries daily (if not several times a day). I think it’s a bad idea, but I just find myself drawn to the sites….
even worse- amazon.co.uk has an option where you can see WHO gave you what gift. thus far, I have managed to stay away from that option, but it’s calling me.
are you’all drawn to check up on your registries? do you think it’s a good idea or bad?
MemberI didn’t need to check mine, my mother did it for me. She was obsessed with checking them. She would call me up every time something on it changed and ask had I noticed and who had bought it, etc. It was sort of annoying at the time but now to think of it it was funny 🙂
MemberThis is too funny! I check the ones for showers I am going to, just to see how lucky the bride is!
MemberI stalk mine and well as my best friends! Dont feel to bad, it’s all in good fun!
MemberI usually stalk them around important dates….showers, etc. The wedding is in 23 days, so I’ll more than likely return to "stalker mode" here in 2 weeks or so. =)
Memberdo you think it ruins the surprise of recieving a gift? or does having a registry do that in and of itself?
i had a "hunch" that someone was throwing me a surprise shower this weekend (i live in the UK- and hence there aren’t a lot of open dates). but it’s been 100% confirmed by the number of items being purchased off the registries in the last week.
MemberMy FH thinks it ruins the surprise, but I think its not really a surprise when you registered for it! lol I am addicting to checking it! Sometimes a couple times a day too!! lol
MemberI love being surprised so I COMPLETELY stay away from my registry leading up to major events. I just had my shower this past weekend, so I stopped looking at my registry online about 3 weeks prior. Two weekends ago my Fiance wanted to update one of our registries when we were at the mall. After we scanned everything, I made him upload it to their computer so that there was NO CHANCE that I would see what had been purchased.
MemberMy shower isn’t till April. Right now I go on there and update/change stuff. But I think I’m going to stop going on there in the next week or two, when invites go out…. or at least I hope I will. I want the gifts I get to be a surprise *or WHICH* one’s I get to be a surpise!! This being said, curiousity often gets the best of me!
MemberI am also a registry stalker. I have a shower this weekend and I admit I’ve checked them today. I need to stop because I do like being surprised!
MemberMy sister asked me not to look at it, so I haven’t looked at it since the last time I added items!
MemberI’m a registry adder and second guesser. I can’t work in the UK so I have way to much free time to read up on blender reviews and slow cooker reviews and what not. Too much free time is dangerous
Memberhahaha I hear ya dorsay! I’m behind a desk all day and its sooo tempting lol. I love being "surprised" but I just can’t help but look at it and change it, etc!
MemberI definitely change mine randomly because I second guess my choices. However, this has resulted in a larger than necessary registry. I actually was super-excited when I checked one day and saw that my super-huge, uber-expensive (on there for the completion discount) pots and pan set showed that it had been purchased. After some detective work, I discovered that someone bought off the wrong registry. How lucky is the random bride who is getting my pots and pans! 🙂
Memberhahaha MrsCPT! I can’t believe someone bought yours and it was for another bride! lol
I have also realized our registry is growing because I second guess and find new stuff!
