I was at a bridal shower last year while in Chicago, and the bride had registered at Carson-Pirie-Scott. I didn't know the bride at all, but was somewhat dragged there by my future mil, so I had just bought one of those Darden restaurant cards (everyone has to eat out sometime!).
You could tell that everyone had shopped at C-P-S, because the store gift wraps for free - and I had the only present NOT wrapped in the same paper!

This is so true - I work in gift wrap/customer service at the Orland Park CPS, and as long as the bride is registered, we'll wrap wedding gift for free in our complimentary paper. It doesn't have to be on her registry, but it'd be nice if it were bridal. It does amaze me what people will try to pass off as a bridayl gift; the paper isn't that nice, and the bow is pretty cruddy. I had someone try to tell me a "Happy Graduation" picture frame was a bridal gift.
