Where did you register for your bridal shower?

I thought you just use the same wedding registry? No??

I'm with Soon to be .. I thought it was the same registry! I don't think we are going to register for much though. We'll have everything we need by then since we're already living together. My aunt said I should register for little stuff that I wouldn't think to buy so I guess that's what I'm gonna do!

I love everything on our registys! so I would rather get stuff like that or I told my MOH if anyone asks her we want the toasting flutes or just little things we can use for the wedding like that

I am registered at Target, and bed bath and beyond for our wedding.

We aren't registered yet but we are registering at BBB.

But the stuff on my wedding registry is for us, for a bridal shower don't you get more want lingerie and more "me" items?... that's why I am confused.. hmm

Guess I just won't register and pass it around word-of-mouth that I want lingerie..

It depends on the shower. We had a co-ed shower, so we used the same registry, and for FH's friend's fiancee's bridal shower, she just got things off their usual registry.

Sounds like you're having more of a lingerie shower than a typical wedding showers. VP has some cute invites that get that across, or your MOH can mention it to guests.

The bachelorette party is for lingerie and 'me' items, not the shower

I don't know if I'm getting a shower.

Sometimes they specify the type of shower. personal or household or kitchen. Sometimes people just buy whatever they want to give you.

A bachelorette party isn't necessarily a gift giving event. Under no circumstances whatsoever would I want anyone other than FH getting me underthings.

@Marilyn, an invite like this gets the message across, I think.

I would ask your host to clarify.. my understanding was that bridal showers use your normal wedding registry and bachelorette parties (or "personal showers") are for lingerie and stuff..

We registered at BB&B

We are doing a honeymoon registry, and i get to pick the other place we register at i have no idea what to choose!

Your MOH should throw a lingerie shower if that is what you want. Bridal showers are typically household & kitchen goods; maybe a couple of people would bring lingerie, but normally, people just use the wedding registries.

Every bridal shower I've ever been to (including my own) the gifts were household items (same kinds of things you'd register for for the wedding). The idea being that the reason for a shower was to help the bride "set up house." Most of our guests gave us cash for the wedding, so in my circle the registry is more for the shower anyway.

I absolutely love perfume (and all my friends know it) so I registered at Macy's for all my favorite perfumes.

So I am confused.. at the bridal shower you get stuff off the wedding registry for both of you, then why are only ladies invited?

For coed showers, who do you invite? Wouldn't that just be like inviting the whole wedding?

And last question, if you ask for the same stuff off the wedding registry, isn't it just like asking for more presents? People actually buy you a wedding gift and a shower gift if they are invited to both??

Also, am I allowed to help plan the shower, if my MOH is offering to host it?

The bridal shower is gifts for the both of you, it's just traditionally ladies only. There are no rules, but no you wouldn't invite the whole wedding. Showers are usually family and close friends. Most men have zero desire to go to a shower. If you want lingerie specifically, ask for a lingerie shower. But be prepared for people to take that kind of silly and buy you goofy lingerie, and also be prepared for it to be slightly uncomfortable for a lot of people. I know I wouldn't want to be opening my honeymoon lingerie in front of my FMIL.

You have one registry, it's just your registry. If people come to the bridal shower they bring you a gift. Honestly, most people at the wedding will bring you money it's easier.

We did an online store and a brick and mortar. Amazon and Macy's to be exact.
