shower question for girls who already had it

so i think my shower is this weekend (sun) and while around 25 things have been bought off the registry, i still have a bunch of stuff (more of the smaller stuff as the bigger items flew first), are people normally last minute with buying off the registry? i am wondering if maybe they will go on sat to purchase stuff, i know that around 38 people are coming so i cant figure it out unless people got stuff on their own(e.g. clothes)
Thanks!Chat Icon

So of course now like 6 more things flew off the registry since i posted this- my question is i have no big stuff left anymore which is great, but now that the most expensive thing left is like $59.99 should i add some more bigger stuff to it, or just let people give gift cards/buy a bunch of the less expensive items that add up to whatever amount they want. I literally cant think of anything to add as we got our stroller, bases, carseats, toy box, swing, pack and play, bottle sterilizer, etc and i dont want to just add stuff for the sake of it.

Alot of people wait for the couple days before to buy things.

I know for my shower they did and i also got things from my registry from other stores where they prob found the same thing less expensive.

Re: shower question for girls who already had it

Thanks for posting this!!! My shower is Saturday and Ive been thinking the same... I have 33 items purchased off of my registry..... so, Im anticipating a lot of last minute shoppers as well.....

But, I do have to say all, except for two, of the big priced items came off of mine....


ETA: I just checked my PBK and 8 things came off this morning... so I guess the last minute rush is on!

Re: shower question for girls who already had it

some people will get you clothes, blankets and gift cards that are probably not on the list... I would expect that some items might still be purchased but not a lot...

Re: shower question for girls who already had it

We had a bunch of stuff bought & then that week (of shower) it slowed down...I was looking on my registry until that morning & we even had people buy that day!!!! People do tend to wait until last minute, don't stress!

Can I ask why? Doesn't that sometimes leave you with no options if you wait that long?

I don't know...I'm all for not procrastinating and just buying the gift as soon as I get an invitation.

But, in answer to the OP's question: yes, MOST people wait until the last possible second to buy you a gift....I had two people buy me the same gift off my registry the morning of my shower and the duplicate happened b/c they literally must have bought it at around the same time that morning!

Re: shower question for girls who already had it

I would leave as is.....Since you dont need anything else big..let people give giftcards if they want to and then you can get ALL the little things ya know?
