This has probably been posted but it's hard to search sometimes. How far in advance do you register from your wedding date. I know sometimes it depends on showers but what is the average?

    we were engaged for just over 6 months, so we started registering pretty much right away.  I wouldn't do it much further out than 6 months because so many things will turn over/go out of stock/etc with seasonal product changes.  We had to monitor a few times to make sure it was all available.

    How long is your engagement?

    If you're looking at like, 2+ years it's definitely too early. However, it is nice to check off your to do list.
    If you're going to do it 6-8 months prior to your shower/wedding, just make sure to check it periodically because sometimes items will be discontinued. Really though, whenever you're able to get to it is probably fine.

    We got engaged in December and we registered in January. A few gifts were purchased from our registry for engagement gifts though no party was given for us.  We got married the following September.

    I registered 9 months before my shower, but a lot of department stores know what inventory they're going to have around for a year or so. So that's what I'd aim for. And your needs may change if you have a long engagement.

    my wedding was in May and shower was early April...i think I did mine around end of January/early February, once all the holiday craziness was over and shelves were restocked.    I also did mine online since i didn't have a very big registry

    The wedding is April 2015 for us too.  We're starting to trickle in the registry stuff but we're planning to have it complete hopefully by January.
