wedding registry with kids

Bonnie, on March 21, 2013 at 12:24 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

Hello so we have 3 children and have lived together already a while. We are updated all of our stuff in our place. What do you think about registering for children's stuff like new comforter sets?

    Not appropriate, IMO.

    That said, you can register for whatever you want, and people will buy what they are comfortable buying. I would not buy items for a child off a wedding registry, nor would I register for it (I have 2 of my own).

    I would say that's probably a no-no in the wedding registry world. If your registry is small, people will probably just get you gift cards/money and then if you choose you can buy your kids new stuff but i wouldn't put it on there. when my cousin got married they had RIDICULOUS stuff on their registry.. it was horrible.

    120 people is 120 people - not 120 couples, right? so 60 should be about right.

    After the wedding / shower I was able to return some random items I threw on my registry just to make sure there was enough variety.

    Some people won't buy off your registry regardless.

    We have decided because we have been living together for some time and we do have a child as well we will not be setting up a formal registry. There isn't much we need. Think of items you need for around the house and base your registry on that

    I'm not. I have had a few people inquire about what size bedding the kids would need etc and I oblige by answering but have made it clear that they do not need to buy anything for our children. I have no registry done because we've been together for 4 years with our kids so I don't know what there is to put down at this point

    I included my daughter on our registry and I have gotten calls from people saying it was the neatest thing they had ever seen, which was fun for them because some have stated they are buying two gifts one for us and one for her. But to each their own as to how they do it.

    Yeah no to the registering for children's stuff for sure! I would be really offended seeing that lol. So 60 items would not be enough for your list. Why don't you not do a registry at all and just see what people get you. Or leave the registry up and the people who weren't quick enough to buy you stuff we will cross our fingers that they get you gift cards Smiley smile

    Do you own a home? Maybe a registry at Lowes or Home Depot also?

    I've thought of doing it but I didn't.... We live together too and it's difficult to find things to put on there. Maybe registering at Lowes/HomeDepot is a good idea.

    I wouldn't be offended, if I felt it was inappropriate I would just buy something else on the registry but to avoid controversy hopefully you will get gift cards and if all else fails you can always return/ exchange.

    I have this same problem. We have 3 kids and own a house. Been together 8 years. We are both in our 20s. Not sure if i should have a registry. Family insists I do. I'm just not sure if it is appropriate. It's like not having a baby shower after your first child. But then regretting not having one for each. ugh.
