We are considering registering for our baby after the first 12 weeks have passed.
Did anybody do this? I dont know wether its kind of cheeky but we did NOT register for wedding gifts at all, we didnt really have a wedding either so got no presents (which was fine)..

I wondered if it is normal for people to register and send it on the shower invitation or not?

please dont flame me.. just wondered what the "norm" is..

I think its pretty normal to register for baby things. I have gotten several invitations with "registered at ______" written in them. I

I think I'm going to register once we know the sex...maybe before that if I cant wait!

I think its normal to register. I like it when people are registered because buying them a gift is easy!

I registered at Pottery Barn Kids.

I registered at Target. Babies R Us also has a lot of stuff and I think I would have registered there, except we didn't live near a store at the time.

I think registry information on shower invitations (both baby and wedding) is both appropriate and very helpful!

We did at Babies r Us and a local store called Bergstroms. FYI-Restoration Hardware now has baby stuff! So pretty! I wish it was around a year ago.

We registered after we found out the sex of our baby. We registred at Babies R Us and Pottery Barn Kids. I would highly recommend registering because surely you'll have a baby shower and will be helpful for people purchasing gifts for you!

Thanks for the help,
I assumed it was pretty normal but I didnt know if it was a bit cheeky!

I registered as well. I'm totally anti-shower for myself, don't care if other people have them, but I think registries make things easier for people. I'm pretty old-school and would probably not put it on the shower invite, but would just spread the word if asked.

I had two big showers (one in my home state and a second one in the state I moved to) and an informal gathering of friends. They all asked me to register.

Because of where my family was located, and the availability of stores, I chose to register at Target and Walmart. My hometown only really had Walmart as an option to register. It worked out really well because I moved in the middle of the pregnancy, and people sent stuff to my new home by using the online list. :)

PS- If there is a Babies R Us near you, register there! I love that store.

oh thank you! I havent seen a baby's r us but will have a look. I think we have a store called Buy Buy baby which is apparently fantastic! A lot like bed bath and beyond but for babies.

THanks for your opinions, i'm definetly going to register now!

We registered at Target and Babies R Us. The thing I liked best was that I could do it online & faraway relatives could order online if they didn't have a store near them. I think both stores give out little cards to put in your invitations if you register in person, sying "we are registered here." I didn't put anything in the invitation, I just told me mother (let's just say she's chatty) and everyone found out that way.

Have fun registering!

Registered for my first daughter after we found out the sex. We registered at Babies r us. Got everything off of our registry!

LOL! i think this might work for us too.

We registered at target and babies r us.
it makes it easier for your friends and relatives to get you what you need,
and also avoid getting to many double presents.
