Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
all furniture (crib, dresser, changing table)
all room decor (wall art, valances, curtains)
mattresses
I am finding this odd but I don't have a baby so it could just be me..
I'd like to know if it's just me...
TIA

Re: Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
I did for most of those things. The ONLY reason I put the furniture on my registry was b/c if I didn't I would forget which one I wanted. There are SO many different styles out there. I did not expect someone to buy that for me, though MIL offered, but we'd already bought it.

Re: Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
My parents and in-laws split the cost of DS's furniture so I didn't need to "register" for it. People put stuff on a registry for any potential buyers. I don't see anything strange about it.

Thats pretty normal, IMO. I registered for furniture, but it was just so my parents and in-laws would know which one I wanted.

Yep, perfectly normal. Most parents/inlaws/family members buy the furniture.

Same here. Both our families aren't in the area, so it helped them 'see' what the room could potentially look like.

I didn't but I think it is normal. I think usually the parents or grandparents are the ones who buy it.

Re: Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
I did NOT want to register for furniture.. I felt so WEIRD doing it! But my sisters insisted and it worked out because my furniture was all purchased for me!

I agree, I did put my mattress on after my shower to try to use a coupon on it, but I never got the coupon.

I was going to say this- you get a discount off all the things on your list that didn't get purchased for you.

Re: Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
I would never dream of putting those things on but I don't come from NY.
DH's side all asked why they weren't on there and my family would have been appalled if they had been.
So the short answer is I don't think it's unusual in this neck of the woods.

Re: Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
I didn't register for furniture bc I didn't want to buy furniture from BRU. Even if I did, I doubt if I would have put it on my registry. That being said, I know many people that do, so I think it is pretty common. I did register for the nursery pieces...valance, basket, teddy bear, pillow, etc. I actually think that makes a very nice gift for someone.

Re: Is it customary to register for the following items for your baby shower?
Many people do but I did not. I only had the changing table on my registry, My MIL went with us to look at cribs & when we found one we wanted she bought it for us.
