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.
Sure, but you don't know what colors they're using in their kitchen or the china set they want to put together or what they already have.
That registry sounds wacky, Ginger. My only thoughts are: a)Sister and her DH tried to include inexpensive items so maybe they're doing this badly? b) She said "here, Honey, you pick some stuff." (not that all guys would be bad at this or that these are necessarily guy things -- but it seems possible)
Why I love my friends...
me: speaking of darling the Fedex driver was here. She just kills me with her boyish charm. Is it bad form to ask your Fedex driver out?
Heather: nope, its a porno flick
but do it anyway
when my friends got married their favorite gift was not on the registry. The groom's family got together and bought all kinds of household items that you might not think of- mops, scrubbies, cleansers, plastic wrap and foil... they assembled a near life-sized bride and groom out of the component parts. The bride's hair was the mop head, the groom's face was... I forget, something round. Anyway it was really cool.
I didn't register for candlesticks, but I got five pairs.
I blame Bull Durham.

It's that the registry reads like a shopping list. You start expecting them to include detergent and toilet paper.
Heh. When doing the registry at Target, my friend handed a scanner to her to-be-husband, and let him go....they ended up with things like "a 12 pack of diet coke" on the registry.

We got a Peeps-making kit! Which I still have. Um.
wait wait... you can make your own peeps?
Heh. Like Joy's registry on My Name is Earl.
"Tequila: need twelve, got twelve."
