How many?

how many places should one register?  does being registered at a lot of places make you look greedy?

We're registered at 2 places, but I've read that 2-3 places is the norm. More than that(ie 4) is ok if you have a lot of people invited, but otherwise people might side-eye it.

We registered at 3, I generally don't see more than 3 registries in my area, but that could be because we are in the rural area of MN.

i didn't want to register anywhere but people kept askig us, so I did 3 to assure all sorts of price-ranges from a couple dollars up.  I also put on the gift page of my webstie that we don't expect a thing from our guests outside of their company.  I just feel 'gift grabby' (I saw someone else say that and think it fit perfectly).

This. Getting various prices ranges is key! In my opinion, having only 1 registry of only big ticket items looks more grabby than 2-3 registries with a mix of prices.

We registered at 2, to cover price ranges, but struggled to find things we felt we NEED to have

exactly....i bought an entire apartment of new stuff when I moved to the area to  be with my F (before getting engaged).  Once he proposed we moved in together and we now have an overcrowded apartment filled with two households worth of stuff. what we really need is more space LOL

We had this same problem.  2 of our registries are rather small items, but as we kept looking we found things.  We have a few big ticket items that we REALLY need/want but doubt we will actually get lol!

I have 2 online registries and 1 "real store" registry. Not everyone want to shop online - as I've found with my Mom - she looked at the registry then found a store to buy the item at LOL. We also have a full house of stuff, so we've registered for things we really want, but have tried to register for a variety of price groups too.

We have two registries - Target and Macy's.  I think that 2-3 is pretty typical.  Like PP said, it is important to have a range of items wherever you register.
