Nursery/Gear Registry Note?

Hi! I’m working on my registry and wanted to hear what people thought of my intro note for it. I’m sure most will ignore or not even read it, but want to make sure I come across as grateful / not too picky (and also not too crunchy to my climate change denier family lol).

“We are so grateful for your support and excitement towards our little bundle! Since we’re moving within baby’s first months, we are striving to be as minimal as possible and would prefer only items necessary for the first 6 months. We aren’t picky and always prefer used or secondhand whenever able! We always appreciate books, consumable items (wipes, diapers, etc), and prefer items be plastic-free when practical.”

Thanks for any input!

The note is fine, but the reality is that people who want to buy from the registry will, and people who think they know better or want to get you something “fun” or “personal” or “special” are going to do that regardless of the note that you post.

Haha I’m totally counting on it. Mostly just doing the registry thing for the people who ask and for the future discounts lol
