Am I wrong to think people who attend baby showers should only buy things from the registry?

No that’s rude as fuck :rofl:

Maybe ask for people to make a contribution to Amazon. Purchases towards the gifts you want. But if you want let’s say a mattress for the baby $500 but the guest bought one similar for $200 it still does the same thing that you need. State you don’t want clothes if anything. Suggest a gift card for clothes if they wanna provide clothes. But it does sound like you’re ungrateful

From a woman who’s had 2 kids and 0 baby showers… anything is greatly appreciated

I was raised to be thankful for whatever is given to you. Technically everyone could come to your shower and not give you a single gift. Be thankful and feel blessed that you have people in your life that put thought and money into a gift for you. I personally hate registries and have never done one for anything. We used as much as we could from what we got and donated the rest to those less fortunate.

I can’t even believe that you asked this question. A registry is to act as a guide, not a requirement. Maybe they cant afford the items your entitled ass put on the registry! I straight up feel sorry for your husband…and possibly your kid too.

Ask for a diaper shower then, not going to judge you on your character. If you ask for a diaper shower then it’ll free up diaper money so you can buy the items you want?

Whatttt!!! This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never even heard of a baby registry! When I threw my baby shower I didn’t even expect gifts… just a lovely little afternoon tea which I paid for i’ll have you know! :astonished: get what you are given and be thankful for it. I cant believe this is a serious post! If you cant afford your expensive registry gifts yourself then perhaps you should lower your standards abit. Baby will be out of half that stuff in no time.

I totally agree, I had to give away a few items that I got at my babyshower and return some due to duplicate bc people bought items on their own without looking at my registry but it was items I did ask for so I got multiple of them. I ended up getting my entire registry and then some and lots of money so it was all good and giving away some items to moms in need was perfectly fine.
I get what you’re saying as we do spend so much doing the shower and we make a registry for a reason, if a guest can’t even get something off the registry or instead get a box of diapers or a gift card then why bother getting something you don’t like or won’t use, it’s a little disrespectful with you.

I mean you can just return the stuff most of the time if you don’t need it so it’s not really that big of a deal to me. I was kinda annoyed at mine cause everyone bought my winter baby summer clothes but again, just returned them and bought other stuff.

Maybe you’re as high maintenance as you sound and chose a bunch of expensive and unnecessary bull crap, that they couldn’t afford but because they still cared about you and that baby, they didnt want to show up empty handed. Be grateful.

Listen, I get you want specifics for your baby. But I also think you need to get some humble pie and be grateful for what you receive. Someone cared enough to get you or the baby a gift that they though would be appreciated. A lot of people can not afford what exactly you want for the baby. Some moms have a baby shower and no one shows up or no one gift anything at all! Be grateful someone cared enough to buy and bring something for you and baby. It’s the thought that counts if you don’t like the item, take it back to put towards something you really want :woman_shrugging: Don’t complain when someone goes out of their way to help you

It’d be wonderful if they did. However 99% of the time you can bring most back unwanted items to target and Walmart for store credit especially if you did your registry there. Always best to say thank you then do so. That’s what I always do…Christmas too

Registrys are in my opinion suggestions/examples for people who don’t know what to get you so they pick from the list you put out… personally I never had baby showers for either of my kids, I didn’t ask anyone to buy anything for them but if they asked if I needed any big items e.g. baby chair, Moses basket etc or small items e.g. blankets, mittens etc then I would say yes/no and be super grateful that someone was kind enough to buy anything, I bought 90% of what my kids needed because they’re my kids and it’s my place. If you feel like everyone should have bought you exactly what you wanted and to save you money then having a baby is going to be a big shock for you because it doesn’t work like that. Be appreciative that people turned up, are supportive and in most cases bought your baby a gift even if it’s not to your taste or what you asked for. There are people having kids who have no support, no family and would love to be surrounded by all the things you don’t want…

Rarely does anyone buy anything from the registry, and not all gifts come with receipts. This is mostly because your guest probably they’ve had children of their own and/or maybe want to give you products that they feel you will like. So if you want something particular just know you’re going to have to buy it yourself. Most people do not even have the option to have an excess of items that they do not want or need. If you feel such a way that you do not want something or don’t feel comfortable with it… donate it … because there’s people out there that could use it. The point of a baby show is to celebrate the new life that you and the father brought into the world and usually people come with gifts. Not the other way around. I agree with everyone else you are I’m need of a reality check :woman_shrugging:t2:

I know what its like to get a load of gifts that u don’t need or want but its your child not theirs so keep what u want, donate what u don’t want or need to those who are less fortunate and use your own money to buy what u want!
If the gifts are off mothers themselves then trust me its probably a tried and tested item that they found has worked. For example one of my employees and his wife were having a baby shower, I chose not to attend however i sent a gift basket of items that I as a mother had found useful - certain creams, wipes, gels & lotions plus a gift card for Asda (uk version of Walmart) so they could buy baby supplies that they wanted x

Yes you are. It makes you come across as ungrateful and entitled. Not a good look

Wrong to me
I was grateful for all the other things I received at my shower

I picked some dumb shit to put on my registry that I would have never used.

I buy 1-3 things off a registry and 1-3 things that were super helpful or nice for me when my children were younger. And always a Starbucks or Dunkin gift card depending on the mom.

If you’d rather have NO gifts than ones that aren’t on the registry let your attendees know in advance :wink:

If a person chooses not to buy from registry they should bring cash. And you as a parent will decide what things baby may need.

I literally show up to baby showers with diapers of varying sizes. Guess you wouldn’t want something covering your baby

Also, baby showers are meant to help you out with extra stuff like clothes, diapers, baby wash, burp clothes and wipes etc. (all cheaper-ish items) No one but YOU is expected to provide a mattress, baby furniture, food, or specific items. Everything given to you is extra stuff on top of what YOU as the parent is to provide for your child.

Some women have no help off anyone at all count urself lucky u have people willing to buy your baby presents…so ungrateful in my opinion not everyone has the money…it’s your baby after all you and the father should be the ones buying all the important big things :see_no_evil:

Your responsible for getting what your baby needs. Baby showers are to celebrate the new life of your child, not just for gifts. Like a birthday party, you celebrate another year of life but if somebody gets you a present that’s just extra and being thoughtful. You really got it all mixed up and should be happy and extremely grateful for those onsies and things you “don’t need” because nobody needs to get you shit in all honesty.

Go and buy your own shit! A baby shower is a chance to get together with loved ones before baby makes an appearance and give the mum and baby gifts!!! You can’t give the guests a fucking shopping list :woman_facepalming:t3: sorry to be so blunt, and I mean this in the nicest way possible… you opened your legs and conceived that child, therefore you and partner are responsible for buying what YOUR child needs. You’re not a charity case, buy the stuff you ‘need’ yourself and be grateful for what people want to gift you!! Not everyone is made of money so be grateful that they went out of their way to get you a gift or even if they don’t gift and they just attend, that’s good enough! Jesus Christ!:woman_facepalming:t3: I bet your a proper high maintenance bride zilla type woman. Pipe down and get your own shit. End of

The wipes weren’t even the brand she asked for, she asked for a specific brand because she’s got a bunch of allergies and isn’t sure if the baby will too. She didn’t receive anything she needed. It’s so annoying. She already had tubs of baby clothes from her stepdaughters.

To each their own… but to me a baby shower is to celebrate your baby & if you get gifts, cool. It shouldn’t be cribs, mattresses and the rocking chair you want/“need” as the parent you should get what your baby will need and not wait and see if other people are going to buy if for the baby you chose to have… if someone wants to buy you something they shouldn’t get ridiculed for it not being “in your taste” buy what you want and like & avoid the party all together.

I didn’t even want a shower for my first because both my brothers done had one that year and I didn’t want to put my mom out. Im having my 3rd baby and I’ve literally picked the cheapest stuff I could find even if it wasn’t my taste. You don’t deserve a baby shower not even a little bit!!! You clearly think it’s for you! A baby shower is a way for family to celebrate your baby with you. The gifts they buy your not entitled to them! They don’t owe you shit! That baby is your responsibility so if you want to continue to be an inconsiderate, ungrateful, rude ass person be that, but then I hope someone finds out before they go spend there hard earned money on a damn thing for you or your baby!!! You really need a reality check along with a slap across the face for what you so obviously think your so entitled to!!! So selfish!

Honestly you dont know what kind of bottles your baby will prefer using until they’re born. So it’s good to have different brands and styles. Your baby may not like the clothes you want to put them in and may find ones you consider ugly more comfortable. Baby showers shouldn’t be about gifts at all really. It’s about seeing mom to be and congratulating her and spending time with her. My sister was given all kinds of stuff including infant laundry detergent which came in very handy because her child had sensitive skin.
