Thoughts?
So my cw has this friend that just moved in with fiacee. They are having a housewarming party. They registered, wait it gets worse, her friend's boyfriend sent not one but two facebook messages reminding people about the registry and telling people there is still a lot of stuff left on it. I thought this was the tackiest thing I have ever heard. She texted her friend, saying hey your FI is sending out these messages about the registry thinking maybe her friend didn't know he was doing it, she responded good because barely anyone has bought us anything so far. WHAT?!! Is it just me or does this make you feel icky inside.
Just to clarify they are not getting married for almost two years, these are not wedding gifts they are asking for.
Re: Thoughts?
Ok registering for a housewarming party...I can get over that. But then sending out facebook messages reminding people to buy off their registry is so tacky!
They clearly don't know the proper rules of "The Nest"! LOL!
I thought this extended beyond JUST the Nest. This whole thing earned a HUGE
look from me while reading it.
***.. why didn't I think of this sooner?! I just ordered invitations to an open house for people to come see our new place in a few weeks... we didn't register or anything! Do you think I can still do like those little "slip o'paper" registry information things? Or does that cross the tacky line?
(For the record, we don't want anything from people. We truly would just be effing thrilled that people came! No one EVER comes to our house, except for our annual Fiesta.
When we had our initial housewarming 3 years ago, we were shocked people brought gifts - we hadn't even thought of it!)

That's tacky to send messages about it on fb. I would either: 1. not go or 2. buy them something but NOT from their registry.
I really wouldn't be surprised if people didn't go because of that.
When we were engaged we had moved into our house and Blair's Mom really wanted us to have a house warming party. But we didn't because people had just gotten us engagement gifts and there was going to be a shower and we felt funny having one and people feeling obligated to buy a gift. I know you can put "No gifts please" but I would feel funny even putting that on invitation. I'm weird.
I would buy them a book from Emily Post.
Great idea! I'm going to save this post just so I can remember for when we do ours!
Honestly, I didn't know you were supposed to bring/get gifts for a housewarming...I just thought it was the first party in your new house. Kind of a "Hey, come check out my new crib" kind of thing.
Can you tell how many I've been to?

I like this idea.
When some of MH's friends had a housewarming, they sent invites with a "wish list" in them. I purposely did not go, nor did I buy them anything, because of that.
Duff, make sure you request they bring only top shelf liquor to the party. You don't want people bringing the cheap crap!
No, I'm going to use this as a way to weed out my bad friends. Only those that truly care about me will bring expensive presents and good alcohol.
