Co workers asking for registry info

I honestly don't understand why people ask anymore. Even if you feel odd giving her he info, all she has to do is google your "your name here" registry. I've had people that weren't invited send me gifts and I've sent gifts to people who's weddings I wasn't invited too.

Rica, that's a good idea, they flat out asked for invites so they can have the info but they won't come..... Idk about that one lol

Future Mrs G - they are older women, and not tech savvy at all so that's likely why they asked

I would just say "Oh you don't have to get me anything! But thank you for the thought!" and keep repeating. I would feel weird giving them the registry info when they aren't invited.

Maybe your co workers will want to have a small thing at work for you and give u something

Work people usually understand that they may not be invited, but they will still do something for people getting married in the office. I always contribute towards their gift and don't mind one bit.

Mags and krissian, that's what I was thinking maybe they are trying to set up. They asked for invites, but my registry stuff won't be on there, do I just tell them where im registered?

If someone wants to do something nice for you then let them. My coworkers cut a cake and gave me a gift card and none where coming to my wedding. Some people like to celebrate. Just mentioned the places your registered at .

We are having a small destination wedding so pretty much everyone knows they aren't invited and several people have asked for registry info. I tell them we aren't registered because we aren't, but I am positive they will still do something at work as that is pretty common in our work culture.

My other co worker and I were the only ones invited and when everyone else asked for her registry we just said she got everything she needed at her shower so we just got her a gift card to one of the stores she had registered to

I would just give it to them. One of my co-workers says "he loves love and wants to give us something for our love." So, I gave it to him. If he gets us sokething, great and he will get a thank you card. If not, great. Don't think about it too much.

It's not unheard of for people to want to celebrate your wedding with a gift, knowing they will not be invited.

Rica, that's a good idea too. Then I wouldn't feel as bad

My co-workers do this for people in the office too. I'll definitely be looking into @Rica's suggestion of a separate registry! They tend to just voluntarily coordinate a group cash gift as well. I feel a little awkward knowing they're probably planning to do it for me too, but I also love that I work somewhere where people are so kind and caring!

I don't think this is an issue and not worth the hassle of making a separate registry. Say that is so kind of you! I'm registered at X, Y, & Z. Maybe they are going to throw you a work shower as pp's mentioned. I have several people at my work that were not invited to my wedding (no one from work was) who got me gifts and I was thrown a work shower. It's not a big deal; you don't have to evade a simple question. These people likely understand they're not invited and just want to celebrate you. Enjoy it.

A co-worker from another state (we've never met but we're friends) asked about our registries and bought us a large dog bed, a frame, and a dog blanket. I was really touched she did that and that bed has sure come in handy in our new house.

We've had showers at work for people getting married. None of us were going to the wedding, but we wanted to do something special to celebrate out coworker. I don't think it's that odd of a thing to do, and they probably asked the best way they could. I'm tech savy enough that I just google search for someone's wedding website or registry, but not everyone else is.

I wouldn't worry about a second registry. Hopefully you have a wide variety of items on your registry and they will be able to find something in their price range. Let them be nice, for many people it's an important thing.

I don't find this odd. Every place I worked typically will do a small shower for co-workers. When my boss asked I just told her where. None of my coworkers asked if they were invited. Most of them went in on a few group gifts.
