Putting expensive items on registry?

Imo i dont think those are too expensive...those are the kinds of things you are supposed to register for. if you think they are you can start a honey fund for each item and have people donate 20 bucks to the full payment. we really need some furniture and we put it on our honeyfund registry bc we didnt think anyone would buy/wrap a couch lol

Good question- I am wondering same thing.. personally I think we will put a couple higher priced items since we have about 125 ppl attending shower so there will be price ranges for everyone or if multiple ppl would like to go in together to purchase..

I didn't end up putting anything over $150 or so, but we were actually advised to put a couple higher priced items, as sometimes people like to go in on a gift together, like if you invite some co-workers.

It's ok, but be sure you only put a couple, and make most of the items a lower price. The store where you register should give you a breakdown of how to do this.

We invited about 60

I think im going to go for it and just put them on there!

those are the only 3 items that will be over $200

I think those items are very expensive. I'd cut the vacuum. However, two families could go in and get you the KitchenAid. I don't think toaster ovens are that expensive- how much is the one you want?

I'd keep items under $100, and I think that's even pushing it. One or two higher priced items is okay. But a Dyson vacuum is around $700... that is way too much.

I would recommend updating your registry about 2 days before the wedding and adding pricier items, if you register at Target. They give you a coupon to use for 10% off any items on your registry, so you can buy that vacuum for yourself at 10% off.

I thought you were going to list expensive things, ha! Well the Dyson is pricey. A friend of mine registered for a Dyson and ended up buying it herself after the wedding with gift cards. I'm pretty sure it's her favorite gift! I added the kitchenaid mixer to mine as well as a few of the attachments. Can't wait for that gift to arrive

I have to disagree with Meghan though~ $100 is usually the average amount spent in my circle for wedding gifts. It's nice to have a range of items for guests to pick from.

I think this falls into a know your audience deal. One of my fiancee's aunts bought a handfull of the most expensive items on the registry including the KitchenAid mixer. Some people do buy these items. Usually older relatives.

I put the dyson vaccum on my registry you never know if somone will actually buy it for you it is worth a shot so what if it doesn't get bought.

I think it's ok if you put expensive things on your registry. The Dyson is pretty pricey though but I would leave it on there anyway. FH and I actually didn't want a registry, we prefer cash because right now we are living in a tiny apartment and will be moving a year after our wedding. I think we're going to put expensive items on our registry in hopes people will just opt for cash gifts haha.

I think that it's fine to include those items. Just make sure that you also include less expensive items on your registry. Sometimes people pool together to buy expensive gifts. If no one buys the expensive items for you and you really want them, you may be able to get them for a discount after the wedding because you included the items on your registry (depending on where you're registered at).

My FH swiped the Margarita Maker when we went and didn't tell me! If you may want it at some point, put it on. We have a few other high price items on there (plus our formal china if you add up a whole place setting is crazy). Our thought was even if people go in together or give us checks we can apply to a gift, we'll end up with what we want.

If you know that the $10 towels are crappy, why ask for them? You'll replace them in 6 months anyway right? Ask for the $30 towel that will last longer, even if you only end up with 2 of them (instead of the 6 the store suggested!).

I think its fine to put them on there. I put all of those on ours. The dyson vaccum is on our registry and someone already got it for us :-)

GO for it! You should put anything and everything on there! You never know what guests want to purchase for you and if they don't then they don't! Plus you could always get gift cards there that add up so you can get it later! We had some expensive items on our that guests purchased.

I say go for it! We put a Dyson vacuum on our registry. I figured that a few people could go in on it together because I know that my FMIL's sisters like to do a group gift from everyone. If no one buys the items then I know sometimes stores off a discount for you to purchase the rest of the items on your registry.

We had a Dyson Ball on our registry and it's about $400. Some stores give you a discount to complete your registry, so even if nobody buys them, you can get them later at a lower price. The other thing is that people will sometimes give you gift cards for stores where you registered, so you can combine those to get the more expensive items.

I say it's all dependent on your audience. For us we have a mix of those that like to gift the more expensive items and those that would prefer to purchase the less expensive items. We have a great mixture of both. Our most expensive item on our registry though is a calphalon cook wear set ($450). We get a discount in the end if it's not purchased plus we can combine that discount with a 20% coupon at BBB so it's a win win situation for us

Those items are not too expensive, and certainly the kinds of things people would expect on a registry... i have heard also that people will go in together to buy things as well.

i would say as long as you have a good variety of price points, go ahead and include the items you have above too.

my fiance put a $48,000 hoverbike on ours. LMAO.

I think those are items people would expect to see on a registry and won't think its over the top or anything. So go for it!

I think there should be some rule of thumb for how many gifts at each price point to include. If you have lots of inexpensive stuff to go with these items, I don't see any problem with what you have listed. I got my Kitchenaide from my coworkers and my mom and sister asked that I put some more expensive things on there so they would have something to buy that I would keep for years and think of them when I use it.

We are registering for high end pots and pans (All Clad with copper core...sooo lovely) in addition to the usual stuff b/c we figure if anyone wants to buy us a pot or pan, excellent, but if not we get the completion coupon and can get a discount on them.

I got my KitchenAid mixer as a Christmas gift from my in-laws a few years ago, so personally I wouldn't say that its too pricey to put on the registry, but you know your guests best.
