When did wedding registries get so expensive?
I am buying shower gifts for two people. Wow! They both registired for the most expensive stuff. A $50 wine glass....one...not a set...one glass. The gravy boat is $130 but wait...pay another $55 for the gravy boat plate and they want two sets!
These are okay friends and $50 is my limit. I guess I should get ONE wine glass, wrap it up and say enjoy! My goodness! I hate giving gift cards at showers. I love searching a registry and finding the item they picked that I connect to. I'm so sad that both registries are way out of my price range.
If I ever have a baby, I am putting the most ridiculous expensive crap that I honestly want on there. I missed the boat on the wedding registry....not going to miss it on the baby! Just kidding...........maybe.....
Re: When did wedding registries get so expensive?
I hear you. I also have wondered recently when written thank you notes went out of style-
I have a cousin getting married for the second time. Her registry is INSANE! All the top appliances, Kate Spade dishware that starts at $25 a piece. It's so over the top.
D - you're a great photographer. Do you know their homes? Maybe you can enlarge one of your photos and frame it for a gift. I had someone do that for me and I loved it, and it still hangs in our family room.
