Housewarming/Open House Registry?????
How do you tell people what you still need for your new house without being rediculously tacky? I dont want to tell people we need anything. We dont want gifts because we bought a new house. We just want people to come hang and see our new place. I always thought at most you bring a nice bottle of wine or liquor or a nice candle or even a gift card to a house warming. Not my family and friends. They all are bugging to bring "stuff" like they want a list or registry to pick from. I just think that is the tackiest thing EVER!! But I dont know how to 100% get around it.
My mom suggested making a "Wish List" that she has access to so she can give it out to people that specificlly ask her, which Im totally down with. But so far only Walmart has the Wish List option. But even then, who wants to buy someone a shower caddy or rubbermaid shelving or a new kitchen faucet? These are the kinds of things we want/need. We only got married 6 years ago so everything we have for the house is still fairly new. We have everything.
I have a few girlfriends that told me that when they come down in a few weeks they fully intend to go through every closet, drawer and cabinet to figure out what we still need. I have not a single problem with this idea. They are super practical and wont buy me fluffy shit I dont need.
Would it be tacky or presumptious to put "No Gifts Please" on the invite?
Which also reminds me, that the Open House will be October 4th, so I need addresses from you guys.
Re: Housewarming/Open House Registry?????
I agree with Steph and let your mom know where/what's on the list.
We ended up with lots of wine and gift cards. Suited me just fine :-)
