A mother of the bride just emailed saying this....

I want to get everything on my daughter's registry. Here is a credit card number. Just send me a receipt.


WOO HOO.... it is a total of about $450!!!
 
:D That's a good surprise!!!
 
That’s great!

Have you considered processing mom’s order as a show? You can save her some money and still get everything for the bride (and perhaps even more for mom and/or the bride). Then can you just close out the registry? It seems like they stay open forever and there will not be anything left for anyone else to buy.
 
yeah for you!
 
would she like to adopt me?

Good idea. The bride will still get pretty much the same benefits as she would earn on the registry (assuming of course that mom will give her the benefits), and mom doesn't have to pay direct shipping rates.
 
What a great way to end the day. :)

This is what I am doing... but how do I close the registry?
The mom got $60 free and then a trifle bowl for $15... she was so happy!
 
Congratulations to you!! That is just terrific! I love to hear stories like that!
 
I have a dumb question....does Pampered Chef no longer sell the Wedding Registry booklet? I thought I was ordering them and all I got was the little brochures!! Those books were great tools for handing out to future brides at shows.
 
That is awesome!!!!!!
