Question for you

So I was just poking around on BBB and figured I'd check out my brothers registry.  He and his wife were married in '08.  Anyways, I notice that their wedding registry is now called a "housewarming registry".  They don't own a house.  They just barely moved out of my parents house into an apartment.

Does this strike any of you as odd? 

It does me for two reasons.  #1 They don't own a house. #2 Setting up a registry for a 'house'warming party seems kind of gift grabby to me...especially in light of #1. 

Maybe they just didn't want to have it be a wedding registry anymore since their wedding was sooo last year (aka they've btdt). 

Eh, to each their own I suppose. 

ETA: The gift grabby comment was mostly because they don't actually own a house.   No offense meant if anyone set up a housewarming registry for an actual home they've bought.

Re: Question for you

  • 1. Does BBB automatically rename it a housewarming registry after a certain time period??

    2. Can the couple simply rename it themselves?

    3.  If you brother and wife DID have it changed, I don't find it too weird since they're just establishing a new place, even though it's not a house.

  • I was thinking the same thing about BBB changing it after a certain time. Otherwise, it is strange to me, too. And screams gift grabby.

  • I don't know if it's automatic or not. My friends were married in August '08 and their registry still says "Wedding." But I also can't find "Housewarming" Registries anywhere on the BBB site...so maybe I just suck at this game...

  • SBS, I'm not sure how you FIND a HW registry but I found out how to CREATE one. :)

  • I tried to see if there was a way to turn my wedding one there into a housewarming (it seems like thats what they did, the stuff they received/want is the same as the wedding registry).  I couldn't figure it out.  In the create a registry thing housewarming is one of the options though.

    I guess it just struck me as a little odd is all.
