Should I Influence the Bride's Choice of Cookware for Her Bridal Shower?

In summary, the speaker is discussing their plan to convince a bride to choose their cookware for her bridal shower, despite the fact that she has already registered for a less expensive set at Target. They suggest emphasizing the quality and lifetime warranty of their cookware, and reminding the bride that the shower is for her wish list and guests may be willing to purchase more expensive items. They also suggest using an example of a friend who was dissatisfied with a cheaper set from Target.

I have a bridal shower the end of this month. I received the bride's wish list and it has the 12" skillet and 10" saute pan listed, but not a set of cookware.

I have gotten smart and started checking for registries w/other companies for my bride/groom when I have a shower. I've discovered they have registered for a set of cookware at Target - nothing as nice as our cookware. I don't want to let the bride know I looked for her registries, but I want her to get OUR cookware!

I think I'm going to try to call her this weekend and just say I saw she registered for two pieces, does she know much about our cookware and go from there. I'll try to sell the features of our cookware to her.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

I think that is a good way to do it. I;d try to find out why she didn't register for all of it. She may be thinking that the price of ours was too much for a registry (I've found that a lot of brides worry about that) but let her know her different options for purchasing it - she could buy it for 1/2 off, or family members could go in together to purchase it for her at full price or 1/2 off.....
 
Sounds like you're handling things beautifully!!

Best of luck with it! I LOVE PC showers!!

I would also talk to her about the lifetime warranty and starting off her marriage with the very best. I got my cookware from Target also when I got married... cookware is cookware... right? :rolleyes: I know better now and can't believe I cooked with such crap for so long! (it wasn't really crap... but it wasn't OURS!!) She is probably worried about the price but tell her that showers are for your WISH lists... and people will go together to purchase these things for her - she will be surprised at what people will purchase. These will last for a lifetime... just like the upcoming marriage.
 
reminder her that your guests are close friends and family and they want to buy her something nice. Also I think it is a good idea to have extra items on every registry. No on wants to have to select the last thing on the list.

Thanks for all your advice. I'm just glad I know about the other cookware on her list:)! It will be my little secret!
 
That is how I would do it. You could even say as an example that "My friend Suzy got cookware from Target/Wal-Mart when she got married" and was dissatisfied with the quality. Good luck!
 
Or wait till she starts using our and then give a call and get her to book a show to replace the stuff that we know she won't be happy with -
