Feel so bad about friends baby shower tomorrow!

I just feel so bad for them. My friends dad and step mom are in FL for the winter and aren't coming home for it. A TON of people never RSVP'd to it at all. And of the over 100 things on the registry like 21 things have been bought. I know people buy things that aren't on it but they didn't get a lot of things they need. And I know some people didn't even want to do a shower. I understand that in like my moms generation they thought it was bad luck, but this is now! I feel like I should just buy more stuff! I am tapped out though buying the pack and play and doing some stuff for the shower! UGH! Stress! And I am not even the one throwing it! I am just helping!

Oh no :( Maybe people bought stuff off the registry but from a different store like Target? That sucks for her. Tell her we said congrats :)

I'm sure your friend will be so grateful for the people that can attend and for the very generous gifts they will give her.

Don't feel bad.  It sounds like you're already doing a lot.

For my brothers shower, I did a huge basket. I would say 20% was off of the registry and the rest was not. She did not put in the clippers, a thermoter, etc. (she did all the big stuff) so I picked that up at Target. You may be surprised.

I had a lot of guests at my shower that bought the gifts the day of the shower.  I know this because I was a registry stalker. :::hangs head in shame:::
