    I say if they have a registry, it is alright to start giving them joint gifts.

    As long as you don’t cheap out (“This is your Christmas/Bridal shower gift”), I reckon it’s fine. Just make sure you really check it off of the registry so they don’t get duplicates.

    Not At All . They Obviously Want Those Things & It Wouldn’t Be Terrible To Give Them Something Off That . Just Be Sure You Then Have That Item Taken Off Their Registry So They Don’t Get It Again .
    =)

    Excellent Luck .

    One event has nothing to do with the other but if you’re completely stumped for a Xmas gift & know they would delight in something from their registry, then I guess that would be okay. As long as it’s not a dual Xmas/Wedding gift. Of course you would buy something separate for the wedding.

    I remember that for my b-day before my wedding my grandma gave me a toaster, because it was from my registry. It was so incredibly weird. If you’re at a complete loss for thoughts, then go ahead and get them something from their registries. But before you do that, try to reckon of something else. Just my opinion.

    If it were me getting married, I want to have people start fulfilling my registry. In fact I would just be pleased if people paid attention and understood why a registry is in place. LOL….I don’t reckon its tacky, its safe so you know they could really use what you are going to get them instead of getting something they might just return anyway.

    I don’t see why not. Now, later, what is the difference? Especially if it is something they can use now over the holidays.
    I would make sure though it is something less for a wedding and more for Xmas. Did they register for things like a popcorn popper, or an ice cream maker, or a toaster oven? Much better than the toaster someone else mentioned that they got and wondered why aunt whoever even thought that was cool.
    Are you sure there is nothing else you can find? Gift baskets are really in right now, so are themed presents. Pick a subject, like a recipe, and buy everything you need for it. Like a loaf pan and a recipe for pumpkin bread and the spices that go in it. Or pick something fun to do, like make popcorn, and buy the popper, the corn, and the oil to go with it. If you need thoughts, go to your local discount department store, lots of thoughts now that their boxed gifts are out. I liked the Campbell’s soup bowl pkg, and the sundae bowls one was cute too.
    A huge basket full of entertainment goodies might be welcome, box of candy, tins of nuts and candy. I’m sitting here with a tin of Almond Roca at my keyboard, that would make a nice gift if someone liked toffee.

    Please do!! I’m begging my mom to shop off mine for Christmas and she refuses. She’s like, but I want to buy you stuff that you can use now, and your wedding presents not to be used until after the wedding. I’m like … mom I could now, I could really use a fry pan! please! As a Christmas gift…she refuses. So I’ll resort to getting flannel PJ pants that I always seem to get for Christmas -that my fiance always despises b/c they are so childish. LOL

    Hope my frustration helps you!

    I don’t reckon it’s poor taste. Our family is plotting to get us things off of our registries for Christmas and it doesn’t bother me one bit! It is full of things I wanted/needed, afterall!

  11. Kristy says:

    No that’s a fantastic thought! When my family questions me what I want for Christmas I tell them to go to my registry! Not in poor taste at all, and it may help if they have some essentials right now rather than waiting for the Wedding day or the shower!

  12. red5050 says:

    I reckon that is perfectly acceptable. They registered for it, they want it and you want to give them a gift – why not get them exactly what they questioned for?! Can’t go incorrect with that!

    I’m not sure what Emily Post would say (oh to know the etiquette of everything!) but, I’m would highly doubt that your husband’s cousins would even know who she was :)
