Hello, guest Login | Register

Name: mallory [ Original Post ] i've been really thinking about evelyn's first birthday party lately. not actually purchasing anything lol but just thinking out a few kinks ahead of time. would it be inappropriate if i made a gift registry for her first birthday?? i kinda think i would but at the same time, i KNOW everyone is going to buy her toys and if that happens i'm just going to take everything back. so should i do it so that way people's money is actually spent on something she'll use or is it just rude lol??? ↓

i think you should give them approved list and i think that is completely acceptable, however, some people may view it as rude ↑

like a list of the toys or stuff that you would be ok with her getting, basically like a registry but instead you put it in every invitation ↑

yeah i know. my sister has a 2 year old and a 10 year old and they always get a bunch of toys that they will never play with for their birthdays and christmas. so my sister came up with the list idea. it works well for christmas but she has been scared to do it for birthdays. she doesnt want to seem rude i'm like they are your kids! ↑

there's only a handful of toys that i find appropriate for evey at that age and i doubt anyone would think of getting them lol. by the way, how's brooke??? ↑

she's great, teething, which sucks. and she has a really bad cough. aside from that she is wonderful. i love being a mom so much :) we are probably going to start solids as soon as she turns 4 months old! ↑

Whenever my sons birthday comes around after people get the invitations it seems like everyone calls to ask what he wants. I always tell them what he needs instead of what he wants. I swear if he gets one more toy out house is going to bust, we are out of room. LOL ↑

Maybe tell them to get things like books and educational developmental toys! ↑

my friend did a "wish list" online for her daughter's first bday at Target.com. i didn't mind it at all. she only told me about it b/c i asked her what she wanted or needed and THEN thats when she suggested it. so, maybe only tell people about it if they ask or tell your family-they won't mind. ↑
