I'm not getting married until November, but I would like to know around when did you see gifts being bought off your registry? Was it near your bridal shower time, or before? Just curious.

Probably about 4 months before the wedding people started to buy things... ♥

As the wedding or a shower gets closer you'll see more gifts showing up as bought on your registry. It's also diffucult to tell sometimes, people forget to say they're buying a gift off of a registry if they don't ask for help when they walk in the door.

About a month before my bridal shower...or 5 months before the wedding. Yeah, it was early.

About 4-5 months before your wedding.

I actually had more people buy things off the registry in the month after the wedding. Peaple just sent gifts in the mail. I recieved so many envelopes of money though, have someone make sure to watch your gift table! I had a friend that only got money for her wedding, and only a few things from the registry. So don't be dissapointed, she even had 320 guests.

Christmas ’05 and I got married in Sept ’06. I’d like to thank the friend who told me to register before Christmas! In all honesty though, stuff wasn’t flying off the registry until a few weeks before the wedding.

About 6 months before the wedding, as Christmas and birthday presents.

Things started coming off my registry about a week after the shower invitations went out. They really started disappearing about a week before the shower though. I would check (I know..that's bad, but I couldn't help myself) and I could literally watch items being purchased as I looked.

Within weeks of announcing our engagement. I was very surprised. I was so excited that we created our registry fast.
