    Is it rude to NOT buy from a registry when going to a shower? Or to make suggestions about the items selected?

    My 24 yr old nephew's wife is 5mos pregnant, and registered at Target.com They picked car seats/stroller/ etc that all coordinate with the same brown/pink pattern. However, the reviews that are on Target's site for the products are not good. Is it rude to suggest that another stroller with a better review and similar pattern be considered???

    I don't think it is rude at all to not buy from a registry. I NEVER do. I save money and get them a thoughtful gift that I found a deal for.

    If you are close to the people registered, then no, it wouldn't be rude to bring to their attention that the reviews for their choices were not good.

    Naw, they picked the registry. And I do usually buy from them. But if I don't want to take the time, I just write the bride and groom a check for a certain amount and enclose it in an envelope.

    Nah. Most people I knew who had baby and bridal showers didn't have a registry anyway.

    People should be thankful for a gift at all, especially in this economy.
