No I think its the best way to let people know what you need. Congrats on your pregnancy! =]

You should register, it is very common to register for things you want, especially if you plan to have a nursery with a theme.

I would just ask for cash.

Please register. It will make things so much easier for your guests. Congratulations!

not rude at all how else are you going to get everything you want

you can register! i think it’s “slightly” presumptuous to register at an expensive store (babys’r'us, macys, jc penny)
I would aim for walmart, target, mervyns

OR
register at two stores! (but pick different stuff) like pick some nice stuff out at JC Penny and then a bunch of other stuff at wal mart!

have fun!

from my experiences with having 2 showers thrown for me, just let them get you what they want to, some people won’t even look at the registry

Of course,do you want to get 5 or 6 ****** pumps……….

Of course not! Youre having a baby! And people do it all the time, so noone will think anything of it! Congratulations!

I think registering is a wonderful idea! This way you’ll get some of the things you want and need. And, you will make it easier on the guests when they have to try and figure out what to get for you.

no more rude than registering for wedding gifts.

Its pretty much the same as making a list for Santa and handing it to your parents.

“I know you’re buying me stuff… get this”

My mother in law threw my first baby shower and she took me to the store and picked out a bunch of stuff for me to register. I didn’t expect anyone to go by the registry and if they did that was ok too. Some people like to know what to get for you.

i rekon it is rude!!! i say just let them know what you do have and then they can sort out what they want to get you. and i also think that wedding registery is rude too! i live in nz and come from uk i think it is a american thing so thats ok cause all americans will think of it as the norm. but everyone has there own opionion

you should definately register so that you dont get a lot of stuff that you do not like it isnt rude in any way they will either buy what is on the list or not it at least gives them an idea of what you are in need of.

No it’s not rude at all. You know better than any of the guests coming what you need. This way you won’t get 10 of something you only need one of and 1 of something you need a ton of. Plus it gives your guests a list to go off of so they know what you like and want for the baby. I prefer it when people have registered for gifts. It makes it easier for me.

I like it when people register. it saves wondering what to get!!

No, it is not rude. I always ask if the honoree is registered when I’m invited to a baby shower. It’s nice to have a list of things that you know that person will like. I just pick something I can afford from the gift registry list. If family or friends want to pick out something on their own they can still do that.

Absolutely not..Que dios te bendiga..

Most people check to see if you’re registered these days, so go ahead. My daughter recently had a shower and she registered, but got not one thing that she registered. Just plan on having fun.

It’s not rude to register at all! I recommend Babies R Us.
(click the Babies R Us tab).

NO WAY!!!!! Its not rude at all. Thats why they have it. It is very convient for you and everyone coming to your baby shower. Its so you can get what you need without having like repeats of things. It is also a good bond for you and your mom to go and do or you and the babys father. I loved it when I had to go. It was exciting. Good luck and go for it.

No because then people know what you need, and it ensures that you won’t be getting the same gift 2 or 3 times, that way you don’t have to return anything, I thinks its a smart idea.
Good luck, and congratulations

no it’s not rude…..you should deffinatley register.

you should register, its not rude at all. I felt the sameway as you did. But if you don’t register its more likely that you’ll recieve extra of things you don’t need. Also keep in mind that even though you register and say you dont need clothes. Someone will still buy you whatever they want. I recently had my babyshower and was registered at babys’r'us. I recieved all of the big ticket items but didn’t get much of the smaller stuff, which is fine with me. By the way…put a large price range from all the little things that cost 5 dollars to the big ticket items. And also, if you do need a lot of clothes only put in one or two onesies, ect so peole get an idea of what you want and what you like because otherwise you’ll have a 50 page registry

I would recommend that you register. But, I would not include your registry with your invites. That is rude, if a person wants to buy from your registry, they can ask where you are registered at. It also gives them a chance to go either way (from your registry or something on your own)

Also, register at two places. A nice place with more expensive gifts, also a place that is on the cheaper side, where the gifts are not as expensive. That way you also give your guest choices of what way they want to go.

You feel awkward of coarse picking out things for other people to buy for you. That’s what the shower is for.A few times clicking the scanner they give you to register products you would like, it gets fun!!!! Have fun with it…….. pick out nice things.

It’s not rude at all! It saves everyone the hassle too, such as trying to guess what you already have or need, and saves you from taking back multiple gifts. This way people see what you want in the price range they’re willing to spend and know what they’re going after when they get there. Most people don’t come without a gift anyways. I just had my shower in April and every person that came went to the stores where I had registered and got items off of my list. I’ll bet that they were glad I made it easy for them, lol! HTH!

It’s never a bad idea. And if people cannot afford what’s on your register (or just don’t want to get it), you may get a few pleasant surprises you may not have even thought of. There’s hopefully no rules saying you’ll never speak to them again if they don’t show up with what you asked for.

No its an awsome idea and everyone i know does it they have baby registrys at all kinds of stores

The old rule is a family member should never throw a baby shower and it is rude to mention the registry in the invitation. But rules are made to be broken. I don’t mind if family members throw a shower and it’s a great convenience if someone is registered.

There’s nothing rude.Everyone does it.People are going to buy you gifts anyway.Why not let them buy something you really need?
You don’t want to end up with gifts you don’t need or multiple gifts of the same type.It’s better for both the people attending your baby shower and you.
