If you don't know her well, then simply picking something at random isn't likely to hit the nail on the head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-registry-gc-or-cute-non-registry-gift#post-2109399 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 16:27:16 +0000 Torchwood 2109399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they're already living together, they probably don't need anything that's off registry. After that I would much rather a gift card than something cute I don't need or doesn't fit my style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-registry-gc-or-cute-non-registry-gift#post-2109354 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:04:37 +0000 Bao 2109354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GC for sure :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-registry-gc-or-cute-non-registry-gift#post-2109352 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:01:33 +0000 yin 2109352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For bridal showers and wedding gifts I love shopping at anthropologie for cute items for the home. It's off the registry and very well received by the bride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-registry-gc-or-cute-non-registry-gift#post-2109315 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:13:31 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2109315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: If you have any favorite, unique kitchen tools, I would include those! Some my my most favorite gifts were off registry, things I didn't know existed, or were frivolous enough I felt silly putting them on my registry. </p> <p>Or...a favorite cookbook? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-registry-gc-or-cute-non-registry-gift#post-2109294 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:57:28 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2109294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would depend how well I knew the bride and her taste. If I didn't know her well enough to know how she decorates her house/kitchen ect I would do a gift card. I know in most cases I would prefer a gift card and get something I really want or need than to get something that is cute to open but you don't have a place for it or it isn't your taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-registry-gc-or-cute-non-registry-gift#post-2109288 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:51:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2109288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL &amp; I are going in on a gift and getting a sauce pot off their registry. We have about $20 extra to spend on the gift. Would you prefer just a GC to the store or something "cute", but off registry, to go with? </p> <p>The bride &amp; groom are already living together in a home they own. This will likely be a huge shower yet there are only about 20 ish items on two registries, combined. So I'm thinking they *might* be hinting at $$? I don't know the bride that well since we're (DH's side) related to the MIL to be. </p> <p>I'm leaning towards GC...but wanted to crowd source. :P Thanks! </p>
