Way back when before the wedding I talked about our registry, and how we decided to register for some nice china (though not too fancy, since I get a heart attack thinking about asking people to buy usexpensive plates, even though I still want the $400 per place setting silver that we didn’t register for. Ah, someday!). But we weren’t planning on registering for any everyday dishes since we had our white everyday dishes that seemed perfectly usable and we figured we’d just replace them later on.
Well, unbeknownst to me, Mr. EB decided that he really wanted some great looking square plates from Crate and Barrel.
Also, I should pause here to note that the reason this was unbeknownst to me was not because Mr. EB failed to mention that he was adding said plates to our registry. No, it was because I have a disease known as “selective hearing” and in the weeks and months preceding the wedding it set in full force. Sorry Mr. EB.
So it was a little bit of a fun surprise to start seeing all these beautiful dishes rolling in from our UPS guy (who we got to know really well. Thanks UPS guy for not taking Cody’s barking personally like the Fed Ex guy did!). And you know what? I’m SO glad that Mr. EB added these! We now have a great looking set of white dishes that are beautiful and chip free! Also, they’re really white. As opposed to our old dishes which when held up against the new ones are clearly old. And chipped. And, well, let’s just say I’ll be perfectly happy to box them up and hand them to my brother when he moves out and needs dishes to eat off of.
Did anyone else’s significant other add things to the registry that you weren’t necessarily 100% aware of but ended up being awesome additions to your household?
Um, well we had the opposite problem- my fi has no idea what I registered for….he really doesn’t care and he’s a pain to go shopping with bc he runs around like a kid in a candy store marveling at Te price of everything and knowing how cheap it is to make everything (he deals w china a lot w his business…). In my defense I took his taste into consideration when registering, and did not register for fine china as I do want his opinion on that 
And aide note- just noted that something got bought off the registry- the first item- Sooo excited!
My FIs only registry demand was that we get square plates. Do guys like square plates for some reason?
No way! Those exact dishes from C&B are my FIs sole contribution to our registry. So glad you like them!
Pretty sure my fiance has NO IDEA how to add things to our registry. Funny enough though, the ONE thing he requested was square plates. Must be a guy thing!
No, but I added things to the registry, and they are totally awesome. I told him he could review and edit as need be…he just hasn’t yet!
We got those plates for our wedding and we love them! The only downside is that they are really heavy, so it is hard putting the dishes away if you stack them before putting them in the cabinet.
I know for a fact that Mr. Jaguar was so bored of our registry experience, that he’s not heading back there anytime soon. 
No surprises for us!
Mr. Tartlet definitely made a few personal additions to the registry that I wasn’t aware of until we handed in our scanners! I agreed with his choices, though, so all was well in Tartlet land. We have a set of square plates we set aside for company!
Yay for new white, un-chipped plates! Now you’ve got me curious if Mr. P has added anything I’ve “forgotten” about.
Haha, I love how many of the guys wanted the square plates! Luckily I’m a big fan of them as well, so I’m glad he added them.
That’s awesome! Pretty much everything on our registry is for Mr. Biscuit. The trials of being anti-domestic.
Mr. O really really really wanted new, fancy steak knives. Well, manly steak knives. He’s so excited about them!
I had no intention of registering for fine china, but when I took the FH to the store to work look at items for the registry. Well he found a china pattern, actually 3, that he loved. I picked my favorite of the 3 and we registered for fine china.
A Black Diamond 4-Season tent. I added it to the registry generally unknown to Mrs. Cherry Pie. When she noticed I talked her into letting it stay on the registry because “No one is ACTUALLY going to buy us a $400 tent”
Someone bought it for us. What are we gonna do with a $400 4-Season tent?!? 2 years later I still can’t bring myself to return it. It’s awesome…but totally impractical for us. I think we’re both still surprised it showed up on the doorstep.
