I am with you Red. I think registering for a baby shower is rather rude. I personally wouldn't do it and would be offended if it was on an invite for me attending a baby shower..

I like the fact that people put time and effort into finding you/your baby the perfect gift. Its sometimes the thought behind it thats more important than the actual gift. TBH I had 2 baby showers (1 fom work, 1 from friends) and got no double ups and some wicked presents that I would never have thought of.

I can understand for a wedding as its slightly different and you are getting "bigger" items and most people already have a house full of stuff.]]> Mon, 26 May 2008 13:45:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=394606&title=rude#394606 <![CDATA[rude? : Red, why do you think its rude?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=394374&title=rude#394374 Author: sarahhall

Red, why do you think its rude? just because your expecting certain gifts from people?]]> Mon, 26 May 2008 09:57:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=394374&title=rude#394374 <![CDATA[rude? : I get what you&#039;re saying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=394010&title=rude#394010 Author: busymum

I get what you're saying Red, TBH I wouldn't do a register myself (we didn't for our wedding either and some people were annoyed! lol!). Also it's a bit off when someone organises their own baby shower, but it's lovely when a baby shower is thrown for that person.]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 19:20:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=394010&title=rude#394010 <![CDATA[rude? : Sorry, not for me I think it is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393984&title=rude#393984 Author: Red

Sorry, not for me I think it is a bit rude, just my opinion though, but I am not a big fan of baby showers either!]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 19:02:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393984&title=rude#393984 <![CDATA[rude? : I don&#039;t think it is rude,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393964&title=rude#393964 Author: mummy_becks

I don't think it is rude, as some people have no idea of what to get you so having that gives them ideas.

I had a register for my wedding and I have a number of single guys that came to our wedding, they loved that they didn't have to think about a present and could just get something off the list.

When it's done in that vein, I have no probs (ie not rude).

I don't think they're rude, a more common part of life these days along with wedding registries, and house warming ones too.

I don't see it as rude but I'm like Sheza, just see what other people come up with. A few of the things I wouldn't have thought of to ask for so getting those surprises was totally neat!]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 18:03:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393212&title=rude#393212 <![CDATA[rude? : This is how they do it in America,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393204&title=rude#393204 Author: Shezamumof3

This is how they do it in America, and people tick things off the registery so you dont get any double ups.

However, i prefer to just get what Im given....I didnt request anything unless some asked me.]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 17:54:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393204&title=rude#393204 <![CDATA[rude? : Hehehe a person with exactly the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17555&PID=393198&title=rude#393198 Author: minik8e

I don't think it's rude - just practical. Double ups are just a pain in the butt for every body!
