Should I Make a Gift Registry For My Graduation?!


Question: Should I Make a Gift Registry For My Graduation?
I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to have a gift registry for my high school graduation?

I don't graduate until June, but I've been thinking about it since I'll be attending college in the fall. I have a large family, and a lot of them won't know what I need for college and what I've already purchased myself, so I figured that [if they are planning on giving a gift] it would be helpful to give them a little guidance.

If you do think it would be a good idea for a gift registry, when should I make it? I know you can make one online at Bed Bath & Beyond, but I didn't know if it would be weird for me to start putting stuff on a list now?

Any other [helpful and polite] info/advice would be appreciated.
Thank-you!
^_^

Graduation you usually get money, I got some gifts but it was all mostly money. Gift Registries aren't really a graduation thing. Make sure to send out thank you cards for any gifts/money you do receive.



I would have to say it may be a good idea with so many people likely to be invited letting them know what you need for college just might be appreciated. When I graduated I received more money than gifts. If you want specific items I would say go for it! As a gift giver I would appreciate some guidance on what you would like or need for college. Others will gift you money if they choose.

Try Target for great buys and practical gift receiving! When I graduated if Target had the option to register for items I would have done so.



That does seem a bit pretentious to do. You're going to college, not getting married. It's really you and your parent's responsibility to take care of your college needs.

If people want to get you something as a graduation gift, or even a congratulatory card, that's there prerogative but to set up a wish list seems a bit much.

Be thankful if people do something for you but don't be upset if they don't.



In my experience, most people dont get gifts for graduation other than from their parents. If family members want to get gifts it is normally in the form of a card with some money. If family memebers do want to get you a gift they would probably ask you what they can get you.



No. High School graduation is not an event to register for gifts. Most kids that graduate high school get some money from close relatives but that's about it.



No, that's kinda rude to do....
