Bridal Shower & Registry Etiquette

We didn't want a registry either but once the wedding shower was decided I made a tiny one at target. Hysterical things was, we didn't get a single gift off the registry and most guests gave us gift cards for the house since we just bought a new home last year. So, I don't know if it matters to make a registry but might be a good idea to make a small one.

Agree with Robyn. A small registry of 5-10 items will be appropriate.

Thanks ladies! I was thinking about a small target one too.

A shower is to shower the bride with GIFTS. If you are having more than 5-10 shower guests, then you need a registry with more than 5-10 items. Otherwise what are guests supposed to give you once the 5-10 items have been purchased? If you want to delete the registry after the shower, that's fine. But if you are going to have a shower, you need to have an appropriate-sized registry.

I agree with Emily above. Create a registry with enough gifts for people to buy. I don't think I would ever show up to a shower without a gift (as in I would not give a gift card or cash because i would feel tacky doing so)... So then I would be blind shopping for the bridal shower. I suggest finding things you need / want and creating a registry. Delete registry after the shower.

Thanks ladies! That does make sense. I will create a regular registry and remove it after the shower.
