I never know what to do with wedding registeries – to buy on or off the registry? On the one hand, I almost always try to buy something from the registry because then I know that it’s something that the couple hopefully wants or at least doesn’t have. On the other hand, I sometimes feel it is too impersonal. And I NEVER buy from the registry if the only things left are rocks to put in vases or individual plates, as I cannot imagine the bride and group writing a thank you card to me "for that one plate you gave us" (even though I’ve been invited to weddings where single plates are VERY, VERY expensive – as in $100 each).
So… what to do? What do YOU all do with wedding registeries? Ignore? Obsess over? Have a good laugh at all the things that they want? Or dream about what you would add to a registry of your own?
Read what Time Out Chicago has to say about wedding registeries and other dos and don’t of wedding etiquette (thanks to writer Jessica Herman) on their web site.
