Wedding Registry: 9 Questions We All Have

4:30 PM Unknown 0 Comments

We’ve all been there: scrolling through a wedding registry trying to find the gift that says ‘I wish you endless happiness’ without spending more than $20. If you’ve been on this elusive quest before, chances are you’ve asked some of these very important questions about your friends’ registry decisions:

1. How much cabinet space do you have? Unless your new apartment is entirely made of cabinets, I’m going to be sharing seats with small kitchen appliances next time I visit.  

2. Can I register myself for birthday gifts? I don’t think registries should be exclusively for brides and babies.

3. Do you even know how to cook? I hate to break it to you, but buying nice kitchen tools isn’t going to magically turn you into a world-class chef.

4. Do your parents have rich friends? I hope you’re not counting on me to buy this $300 vacuum.

5. Why don’t I already own a waffle maker? Oh because I would gain 10 pounds in one month, that’s why.


6. Why doesn’t Ikea have a wedding registry option? That would be much more in my price range.

7. How can I ever cook again? Every kitchen supply I own now feels inadequate.


8. Does this mean you will be hosting dinner parties every night of the week? Your house will be immaculately decorated with enough place settings for 50, so I’ll see you this weekend.

9. Can I have all of your old things? Help me, I’m poor...feel free to send your hand-me-downs my way.
