Okay, this is NOT meant to attack anyone who may have any of these things on their registries... but I was curious to know if anyone else has found some really funny things on registries.

I'll even start with our OWN registry -- b/c FH scanned a $35 mortar and pestal and Crate & Barrel as a joke - and I now refuse to take it off! We also have a wine fridge on there we're sure we won't get -- and I'm sure many find that strange.

I was just looking at a few registries for OOT people we know who are getting married very soon. They registered for 8 tablecloths -- all the same size and color.

I've also seen a couple registered for 4 complete bedding sets at two different stores (nope, no kids and no house - just a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment with no plans to move - and they still live in that apartment!) Nothing wrong with registering at more than 1 store, but I guess they plan to change the look of their bedroom often!

My favorite, though, was a $79 (yes $79) single pillar candle I found on someone's registry! Just a plain white pillar candle - for $79!

I sooooooooo deserve to get the mortar and pestle as a wedding gift from someone after starting this post!

ETA - But I do mean for this to be light-hearted and not an attack. I'm sure many people would laugh at our own registry!

I saw a post on here about someone's friend who registered for 75 bath towels, because she and FH each use 3 towels per day, and they don't want to have to do laundry all the time. Wait until that couple has kids!!

hahah omg that is ridiculous..My FH wants to register for a plasma tv because usually whatever you register and you dont get the store gives you 20% off if you buy it within a certain time after your wedding haha

FH and I both want to register for a plasma too! But I can't find a place that I can register for it at!

You can register for it at Fortunoff. FH's friend registered for a $7,000 plasma tv there a few years back. It wasn't for the discount either because the don't have a plasma now.
