People not invited asking for registry info?

Yes and I feel totally awkward because my wedding isn't for another year! People at my work want to give me presents but know we can't invite them! I just let them know where we did registry and try not to let it come up again!

Yes, I know this because I've done it for other brides at work in the past. They're most likely planning a work shower for you

Let them! Hey, this is the one time people give you free stuff for your home lol

Agree they are either

A. Planning a work shower for you

B. Just wanting to be nice and get you a congratulatory gift

That would be awesome! My CEO (we only have about 25 people in the office) seems pretty excited about having an employee getting married and she used "the next _____ employee to be married is who?" as a trivia question during a work event.

My FMIL asked when we were going to have our registries live, because people had been asking her where we are registered. I figured--if they want to ask, they can, I will be thankful for gifts we are given, and it is in no way tied to the guest list. There are a lot of people who care about him/us we can't invite to the wedding, and I would actually be surprised if we didn't get any gifts from people who don't come.

That's pretty standard for your work colleagues. They generally want to give you a gift even if they aren't invited to the wedding. And of course they could be throwing you a shower as well.

I work in a kitchen and my dietitian whobis highly generous asked me but no one else.

My supervisor got us a gift off of our registry...I never told her where we were registered and had really just started working there! It was so nice...not sure how she found it as we didn't invite any work people!

Don't panic, it is for a "surprise" work shower that will eventually happen. Usually colleagues will get $10 or $20 from each worker (small office) and get you a "big gift" like a Kitchenaid or something.

Sweet! I hadn't even thought about work gifts. I'm down for that!

Yep. Some people actually understand that you can't invite everyone but still want to give you something. My co-workers got us a gift. It was really sweet.

What a nice gesture!

Iʻve asked a few friends where they were registered despite not getting an invite

I think its common for work people. They know they are not invited but it's a way to celebrate and party a little in the office (if they are planning a litle work bridal shower for you) and dedicate some time to their work friend because they genuinely like you and are happy for you! It's like when there's an office lunch because it's someone's birthday.

Also, most (well some ...) bosses will give a gift on behalf of the office. I know for all the people that got married at my office, the bosses all gave gifts when the bride/groom got back as a way to appreciate their employee regardless of whether they were invited or not.

Some people purposely invite the big bosses from work KNOWING they are not coming anyway because they are expecting them to give gifts. I think this is totally wrong but hey some people are like that :/

Yeah, it is normal. Especially for work people. You're not close, but you want to extend that kindness to them. It's mostly to be polite.

I had this happen too but it was my uncles that asked. They were visiting from the East Coast recently and thought my wedding was this year. They asked my step mom where I was registered and then gave her some cash to get a gc for somewhere. She told them it wasn't until next year, so they kept the cash, but now it's a conundrum because we weren't planning on inviting them to our intimate wedding (love them dearly, but it's my step mom's brother and his husband, and they live on the complete other side of Canada, so we've only met them twice). So now I don't know if we should invite them, or if it's okay to not since they wanted to give us a gift assuming they weren't invited? Blah.
