I only sent it to people who asked if we had one. I had no expectations that anyone would purchase from the reg. It was split! Many people did gift us from there, many people went rogue, and a few people never sent anything even some who asked for it. We didn't have a baby shower because I didn't want to throw myself one and I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars to feed and entertain ppl when I could use that to buy supplies we'd need for our baby and home.
Send your registry to everyone you can the more the merrier
I’d say send to family and close friends, really anyone who you’d think would like to help you in preparing for being newlyweds and a new momma! Congrats on both!! I also pinned my registry on Facebook for anyone who wanted to look through it.
