Baby Shower Stuff Posted: 04-07-06 14:05pm
I was just looking for some input here.
My best friend and her mom and sister are
throwing a baby shower for me and my
sister-in-law next month. My bf and I
have been holding off registering anywhere
until we knew the sex.. But now that we
do, i'm not sure what to put on my
registry. Lol. I know it's stuff I
want/need for baby, but is there some sort
of unspoken rule about the price of items?
The crib is being bought by my bf's
parents, so I don't have to worry about
that... Or a car seat, either. But if I
find something like furniture or whatever,
is it cool to put that on my registry, or
will I just look greedy? Lol.
Are there things I should put on the
registry that I might not think of?
(oooh, I should ask for a vaporizer...)
also, I think it's kind of weird that i'm
having a baby shower three months before
the baby is due. Is that normal? I'm not
really complaining... They're so nice for
throwing one for us... But is it weird?
(sil is due beginning of july, so it's
kind of early for her, too.)

You can put just about anything lots of
wash cloths, bottles, nipples, you can
choose a theme like winnie the pooh or
bears o you need a diaper genie and
teething stuff o and if you are gonna
nurse ( bottle feed you need lots of that
stuff and um uhhh aww and a couple of
hoddie towels you know stuff like that I
think I helped there is no unspoken rule
of the price just keep it in the
affordable range.

I was told to put anything that I wanted
on the registry. Since some relatives
are going to buy pricier things (like the
stroller) then it's fine. It's going to
come off the registry anyway. I think
most people are only going to spend around
$40-$50 on a gift anyway. Just make sure
you put things in different price ranges
so that there's something everyone can
afford!

My shower is this .Sunday and i've been
told by a lot people that I should've put
more on it. I registered at .Target and
didn't want to look greedy so I put the
bare essentials on it. Like one pack of
onsies!! I know that people aren't just
going to get what I put on the registry
and they won't just limit their shopping
to .Target, so i'm sure it'll be ok.
I left the 'big' off of the registry so
that only my immediate relative would know
about it. Only because I didn't want to
seem like I was expecting a friend to buy
a high chair. I did put on there an
umbrella stroller because those things are
cheap. $50 tops.
Go crazzzy!! This is your baby shower!!
Put diapers on there!! That's one thing I
totally forgot and hope it doesn't bite me
in the ass!!
Whats also cool is that most places have
online registries..I pretty much add stuff
to mine every day. Sometimes I delete
stuff too, like on targets site they have
reviews for all the different items and
they tell which products are better than
others.

I made a registry of everything I
needed/wanted cause I knew some people
would chip in together for bigger things.
Also I registered at toysrus but told
people to buy stuff elsewhere as toysrcrap
is expensive. I had 2 babyshowers and
oddly enough did not really get any
doubles of things but man my son has stuff
for years! Lol

We went to target today to register, and I
was like a crazy lady. Lol. Everything
was soooo cute. I don't know how other
places work, but I knew about target
because I used to work at one... They
scan stuff off your list when people buy
it. Less chance of getting duplicates.

all the registries do, I think. I have
different registries at different places
but what I did was I made sure that the
things that I put on my wal-mart registry
were different from the things on my
babiesrus registry which were different
from my jc penney registry. Absolutely
no chance of duplicate anything. :lol:

The girls at work will be giving me a baby
shower and they normally all pitch in for
like one big thing (like the travel
system) and then others get whatever off
the list. I put everything I wanted on
the list that I need or want. I put
double and tripple of things that I
thought I needed more of. I went by a
list that I found on the intranet.

cool, I hope you get everything you want.
I'm not allowed to have a shower at my
job, it's considered a conflict of
interests. :cry:

well, i'll be registering at wal-mart this
week, and i'll have to put some of the
same things on there because some of the
people coming to the shower don't have a
target close by. :p
