I used to get a little bummed when people would purchase things that weren't high on my want list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-for-a-registry#post-31197 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:22:11 +0000 Rosie Girl 31197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The more the better. I like being able to have lots of options on a registry. And with 3 showers, you will need a really big one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-for-a-registry#post-31183 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:43:31 +0000 heffalump 31183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it, especially with all of those showers you'll need a big registry. My only advice would be try not to put anything you don't need on there, because people will buy you that stuff instead of necessities and you'll be stuck buying a bunch of things yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-for-a-registry#post-31182 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:43:08 +0000 mrsjazz 31182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was feeling the same way about our registry and my mom told me, "Stop looking in other people's bank accounts." She said people will buy what they can afford and sometimes go in together on the more expensive items. I agree, more is better, especially when their are options of varying price ranges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-for-a-registry#post-31181 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:37:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 31181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely agree - I was so worried about this with my wedding registry, and then I just recently was invited to a wedding..and she only had around 20 things between two registries! I was SO frustrated, because I didn't know her to go off the registry (she was marrying DH's cousin), and couldn't really afford any of the items on there! More is better, I say! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-for-a-registry#post-31171 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:26:13 +0000 Mrs. D 31171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the same rule as wedding registry's applies. Options are always nice, and expensive items are fine because sometimes groups of friends put money together for something special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-for-a-registry#post-31168 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:23:50 +0000 Weagle 31168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're about to make our registries public, but I'm worried that we look greedy with the amount we put on there. I really didn't try to add so much, but I know I like options when I buy something from someone's registry. Plus we're having 3 showers...and most things aren't expensive (diapers, blankets, bathtub, etc)</p> <p>Any input? </p>
