| I find registries to be helpful and I would be angry if a couple didn't have one. This couple did not read the rules of a registry though, and they should get some embroidered tea towels or a toaster for their greedy registry. A variety of prices ranges should be on a registry from $1 and up, and more items should be added as needed so that there is always a good range of prices.Do you know anyone else going? Can you get a group gift? You don't have to get from the registry at all. Just get something that you think they will like that is in your price range. |

| I think they are incredibly helpful, however when someone makes up a list like that, they lose their helpfulness. Usually when I want to buy a gift for a wedding (or a baby shower), I already have something in mind, like wine glasses or table linens because I think the couple would like something like that...so instead of buying some arbitrary pattern, I can buy ones that they like and that I can be assured will match other ones they will receive. This is what I like.I hate when there are only expensive things on there...because now I am forced to buy you something that's not on your registry...I don't want to get someone something they don't want.The problem with getting "gifts from the heart" for weddings/showers is that if everyone gets you a "gift from the heart" you will have a very mismatched kitchen...it's possible to give something from the heart while using the registry. To spice the gift up, if you buy cookie sheets, also buy some gourmet cookie mix along with it. Small things like that can make what seems to be an ordinary gift very memorable. |

| I find them helpfull but I know a lot of people feel the same way you do. Look at items on the registry and see if you can find something on there cheaper at another store. Or does she collect something? A friend of mine had a similar registry, but I noticed she had a lot of lighthouse themed decor, so I bought her a lovely lighthouse shaped cookie jar at Wal-Mart for 25 dollars she she loved it! I never even knew she collected it.Or....you could make her a Bridal Beauty Basket! I did this! I got a bunch of nice lotions, loofas and bubble baths and candles and put them all in a pretty basket together in her wedding colors. This was a shower gift and I told her "Here is something you can really use in the shower!" ha ha Corny, I know but she loved it. |

| I'm going to have a note that says 'if you choose to give a gift we would be thankful and pleased to received something for the heart but if this is proves difficult we have a gift registry at blah,blah,blah.we will have lived together for five years by the time we get married, and most of the people will bye something. His sister got four woks, she gave away two, and swapped the other for one of her cousins three cappuccino machines. The sister did not have a registryThe cousin did.If people don't like them, they don't use them. |

| A registry is helpful so long as the registree understands that it is a list of suggestions, not of commands. It is ultimately the giver who chooses the gift, not the recipient. |

| I think that they're rude too. My fiance and I did NOT want a registry, but we were urged to at least put a few items up....we registered for about 10-15 items that were all under 30.00. We hated having to do it, but at least it will satisfy those that NEED to buy from a registry. Silly, isn't it? |

| i find them annoying. i'm getting married soon, and i don't want to do a gift registry. i think it's perfectly acceptable to give $20 and a card to someone. even gift cards are better than gift registries in my mind. |
