5 days until my shower and nothing is marked bought on our registries

Has anyone else experienced this? I am registered at Walmart and Target and I have checked back in now and then and still nothing had been purchased off of either registry. I know some people may have bought in store and not marked it off. I'm hoping that's the case and not that everyone forgot...

Has anyone else experienced this? I am registered at Walmart and Target and I have checked back in now and then and still nothing had been purchased off of either registry. I know some people may have bought in store and not marked it off. I'm hoping that's the case and not that everyone forgot about my shower. I think it's the pre shower/wedding jitters setting in, but I'd just love to hear if this has happened to anyone else.

    I always go right before going to a shower. Literally. Always. I wouldn't worry about it.

    I heard most gifts are bought within 48 hours of the shower/wedding. And now, with Amazon 2 day, and Google same day delivery (in some places) people are even more likely to wait till the last second.

    There are either tons of last minute shoppers or you might be getting several duplicates. Either way, it'll be ok.

    I am a procrastinator. I get gifts the day before when I want to feel organized or the day of when I am being me lol

    I, myself am a last minute shopper. Always. I usually stop on my way to parties to get gifts. I wouldn't be surprised if most gifts are bought either the day before or day of your shower. Don't stress it.

    I only have 1 guest that bought off the registry so far and my shower is Saturday. But I didn't make a lingerie registry on stuff for our home.

    This happened with my baby shower.. People didn't mark it as being from a registry, they just bought what was listed on it.

    I felt the same way, a little panicked. Most people are really last minute. Don't worry!
