After having gone registry shopping I have realized that the ultimate question is no longer is “he the one?” it has changed to “what should I register for?”
From linens (cotton, bamboo, recycled paper), tablecloths, dining plates (which to my surprise are very expensive per set), crystal tableware and stemware, honeymoon registries, and the new trend of registering to a charity for donations.
What are you registering for?
I understand the longevity of certain products like bamboo sheets with their silk like touch; I was also amazed at the qualities the saleswoman was telling me about bamboo sheets (antibacterial, keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, anti-allergenic, and great if you have skin irritations etc.). So she got me thinking and I found a great website that sells loads of bamboo products- check it out.
I also understand the utility of a table cloth; however, don’t you think that 180$ for 1 bowl, 1 entrée plate, 1 dessert plate, 1 cup and 1 saucer is a bit much? So were talking 180$ x 8 = 1400$. One word - WOW. What does everyone else think? Am I overreacting here?
I think I’m going to stick to the basic necessities and enjoy the more simple things in life when it comes to my wedding registry.
Happy shopping and feel free to give me any suggestions.
I'm loving the Bamboo!!
