Are they building a house, Ginger? In that case I can see it. Otherwise no.

It's that the registry reads like a shopping list.
I feel this about most registries, but, then again, I usually don't use them. If I don't know you well enough to have a gift idea? Then I'm probably not going to your wedding.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That is a weird registry. We registered for a bunch of things but it's all house kitcheny things.
Speaking of weddings, I just got invited to a last minute one. No idea what to wear, and I can't find anything in the stores.

The registries in question were for my cousin's son and, most recently, a good friend's son, so I don't know them well.
Also, is it tacky to buy what they want elsewhere? Crate & Barrel (one of the places they're registered) would not be my first choice for things like cake pans.

It's not tacky, but it can lead to annoying duplicate gifts that have to be returned.

I didn't register for candlesticks, but I got five pairs.

The status is NOT quo.
Not tacky, Ginger, especially if you're buying something nicer. I have mixed feelings about registries. I know they aren't very personal, but I was very glad to have one when I got married because it meant that I didn't get (too many) duplicate or bizarre gifts.
In terms of weird things showing up on the registry, I know that strange things happen to the brain when someone hands you one of those scanner things. Suddenly you want to scan EVERYTHING. If they did it all online, it might be a similar phenomenon.
