I'm so sorry about your friend :-/ It's your baby shower, it should totally be your day! As for the registry stuff, I got a buttload of similar items I wanted on my registry, but not everyone bothered to "register" that they actually purchased the items lol. I went to a friend's baby shower recently too & I admit I glanced at her registry & asked her myself what items she'd prefer to have. I didn't bother registering lol but I did get her a bunch of random baby items I thought & saw as necessary like onesies, Desitin, pacifiers, baby chew toys, earbuds, hooded towels & more. I've appreciated friends who put thought into what they consider will be important for my son. Other than that, I got a buttload of clothes at my shower lol. Apparently everyone just LOVES to buy baby outfits omg.
I really hope people pay attention to my message and don't buy me clothes. He doesn't need anymore. Plus, I like to pick clothes out myself. We'll see, I guess...
I'm an event planner and fundraiser by profession so I'm having a blast planning it. Should be about 60+ people. Candy buffet. Catered. Zebra with splashes of blue. Whoot whoot! I'll be about 32 weeks. It's just easier for me to do it myself and have our parents pay for it. My mother was horrified at first (you're not supposed to throw your own shower...blah, blah) then I asked her if she really wanted to plan a major event for me knowing how I am. She mailed the check the next day. Lol! I did my own wedding, too.
@blueberrysmom that sounds awesome!! I've tried to help with mine as much as possible....I just can't let it stress me out anymore. I'll be 32 weeks too:)
Lol but hey a bunch of clothes adds up too! You'll have less of a hassle having to buy outfits & u can choose other necessary items for yourself hehe. I got probably almost 100 outfits & onsies in all diff sizes!
@blueberrysmom my husband planned my babyshower but ofcourse I had to do the invitation to make sure everyone got it in time n I did the RSVPS also.. I'm having mines at a hall we rented..when people RSVP they said ur not supposed to know everything about UR shower..WHATEVER ...IF U WANT CERTAIN THINGS DONE UR WAY FOR UR SHOWER U GOTTA EITHER BE INVOLVED OR DO IT URSELF (its so exciting n NO complaints from u)..I also choose the decor n all...ITS MY DAY..LOL ENJOY UR DAY WHEN IT COMES
I checked my registry the morning of my shower n only a handful of things were bought. But then... it's like everyone waited til the lalast minute cuz I ended up getting a lot more off of it. Then I also found our that some ppl bought stuff, bbut it didn't update the registry. Hopefully you're surprised like I was
My shower is this Sunday too! But I just checked my registry no ones bought anything off of it! It kinda makes me mad that I took all that time to do the 3 different registries and no one used them. Its the stuff I need and I know without them using it I'm prolly going to get multiples of stuff! My family don't even feel the need to rsvp, they just come which is ok but it would be nice to have a round about number since we are having it catered lol. Well guess we just have to hope it turns out great.
No one used mine either. I got most of the things I needed though. At the baby shower I got tons of diapers and clothes. Bad thing, all the clothes were 0-3 months. Haha. I had very few newborn and 3-6. Now Im just slowly buying more clothes!
@my2sons Yeah. Wild horses couldn't stop me from planning this shower. I'm not exaggerating when I admit that I dream about it. Last night I dreamt about the balloons and the zebra centerpieces. It's ridiculous but so so so much fun!
I'm freaking out too!! Nothing is marked on my registry! But like @Hismom20 said I'm thinking people bought & didny mark down. But if they didn't mark down, am I getting a bunch of the same stuff???? My showers Saturday & no one. Rsvp'ed!! I had to call them! Wtf! I didny put down my # for kicks! How rude! Most people are coming though. But I'm still freaking out! But I'm hoping mine, yours & everyone elses showers go as planned or better! ~X(
I had the same issue so after both showers (yes I had 2 and no one used the registry) my husband and I used the 10% discount from target and babies r us to get the rest of the stuff that we need before the baby comes.
yea ive been cheating and so far ppl have only bought 3 things from my registry and its not even the thing i really need like i didnt even register things that expensive ugh i hope ppl go buy it tomorrow or that at least the forgot to give it to the cashier but i hope i got my must haves my babyshower is this sunday
That happened to me Ive had two baby showers both of which sucked i got no attention from anyone everyone did their own thing kids running everywhere people in little groups and no one came to talk to me i literally sat at a table just me and my hubby and everyone else was off socializing some people didn't even bother to say hi!!! im having one more shower tomoro and I didn't get anything not one thing from my registry I got twenty million onzies and a couple of little outfits but everything is 0-3 months or newborn so all I have so far is diapers wipes and clothes clothes and more clothes here's hoping for the best tomoro but if not on sunday im going to go shopping for what I still need which is everything
