AW: Registry!

Today FI and I went to Target and registered for 20 items!  Definitely not finished registering, but at least it's a start.  According to Target, I'm ahead of the game since their timeline for registering is 5-6 months before the wedding. 

My mother kept telling me that certain aunts of mine are asking her if I'm registered anywhere yet because they want to give me engagement gifts.  According to all the research I've done online and by reading wedding books, gifts are not required for an engagement, and I tried telling her that, but she kept saying they want to give me engagement gifts.  Well, I'm not going to deny anyone the urge to give me a gift, so that's fine with me if that's what they want to do!

    It's fine to be early, just be sure to check it every few months and update as items are discontinued.

    Congrats on registering!!  That sounds like just too fun.  I don't think we are doing any of that.  Although I would LOVE to, we really don't have to room to store anything.  We are very limited with space in our house. :-(

    Congrats on registering!  So fun!!  We did ours as soon as we got engaged because everyone was also bugging us so they could get us gifts-not a bad problem to have!  If you're local in South Jersey, i'd reccomend dropping by the Wishing Well in Short Hills shopping center-they have amazing and unqiue stuff you'll love forever!

    Diana:  Short Hills is in North Jersey, not South Jersey.

    Shorts Hills shopping center is in Voorhees, across the street from Voorhees Middle School.

    Oh, OK, thought you meant the town of Short Hills, which is in North Jersey.  My bad.  But I am in Mays Landing, so Voorhees isn't convenient for me anyway.

    We registered before our engagement party because we knew people were going to bring gifts regardless of the fact that we told them not to.  I just continued to update the registry over time as things were discontinued and new items came out.  It never hurts to register early.  Sites like Bed Bath and Beyond make it really easy to add and remove registry items.
