[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had some very wealthy relatives on one side of the family. Most people wouldn't know we had them. They made it clear they were going to go crazy with gifts. We registered for a few gifts we thought they might take, which they did. Before we did that another friend bought up all of our individual items that were $20, $50, etc. We chose all of those items so that people who wanted to give but were strapped for cash could still use the registry if they wanted. That drove us nuts.

So, you don't know why they registered for $700 AND please please please, [b]if you are going to spend $150, don't do it buying up all the smaller items on the registry - those may be there for a reason.[/b] [/quote]

OP here. This happened to us. We had a wide variety of things on our registry, from $5 peelers to a $350 mixer - the most expensive item. A few relatives bought out the entire swath of low cost items. We had a fairly large wedding, approx 200 guests, so we had many people buying us gifts. A month before the wedding, the registry was entirely cleaned out, and I didn't want to add extra items, because we had already registered for everything we needed and then some!

It actually turned out wonderfully in our favor, as we we lucky enough to get everything we registered for and also go many thoughtful gifts from friends who were unable to purchase something from the registry, so they chose something special for us.  [/quote]
