No Peeking!

January 10th, 2007 @ 3:45 pm by Mrs. Lily

3 months until the wedding and things are starting to feel really official. Yesterday I received an invitation to a bridal shower for me! It was so strange to see my own name in the middle of an invitation — I don’t think anyone has thrown a party just for me since I was 8! Yipeee.

On the invitation was a list of places where we are registered. Um. Oops. Haven’t updated the registries in months and I know a ton of things were discontinued (FYI this seems to happen a lot at Crate & Barrel and Macys). So, yesterday I logged onto these sites to see what I could clean up and found people have already bought us presents. I wasn’t trying to peek, I swear! How weird to know what I am getting before I have opened anything! I feel like I need to update everything really fast now so I won’t spoil any more surprises!

Do any of you ladies peek at your registries?

I updated (aka peeked) often. I HATE surprises.

Miss Lily, I do! I didn’t right before ex-mas and got some things! I was shocked. Honestly, I think a LOT of people do this. I do it mainly b/c Crate and Barrel needs updating a lot, some things discontinue, like you said. You really can’t help it, right?

Yeah, we are still trying to nail down exactly what we want, which requires constant “updating”! I actually didn’t catch it though when one of our friends got us our first registry gift as a belated engagement gift last week!!!! Oh man it was exciting!!! So then afterwards I HAD to go in and see how it was checked off :-D

Frequent peeking helps me to balance out and update the registry. Plus you can register for your “top priority” stuff first, and as those needs decrease, add on less crucial or more frivolous stuff. Otherwise, the registry could end up with only expensive stuff left, or only dinky stuff left, not giving guests much selection. Also, some brands/items can be registered for at different stores, so if guests aren’t using one registry, you could register for identical items at the other store instead.

I like Iris’ idea of balancing out the registries — thanks!
