C&B Registry Event??

Does anyone know how often Crate and Barrel has their registry events?  I am getting married in September and don't know if I should register now during the registry event or wait to see if they have another one.  I would like to register during one of their events because whenever I go into our Crate and Barrel store, it is crazy busy to the point where you can hardly move and I would prefer the store to be calmer to make sure I register for what we really want!  Thank you!

They have them a few times a year.  I went to one a year before my wedding thinking the same thing, and quite a few items that I chose have been discontinued since then.  If you call your local CB store they'll be able to tell you when they're having events.  Although I can't say the store is necessarily calmer, but at least there are mimosas!

Yes, they have them a few times a year. I called in after seeing an ad and reserved a spot for me and FI to come in and register at the event. They open up the store a couple hours early just for people coming in to register. They provide mimosas and some breakfast and you have free reign of the store with your FI and a registry gun. You're right, it's super busy during normal operating hours and it was nice to be able to browse without regular shoppers in there getting in the way while you try to study things and compare items. 

I suggest calling your local store and finding out when they're holding their next event. HTH!

This was one event that wasn't going on during our planning time There is an event two weeks before our wedding. . part of me wants to go, but the other part is calling myself stupid since it is only two weeks prior. . *sigh*. . I would totally go though if I were you their Registry has been the easiest to edit and manage plus they have such an awesome inventory

i work at crate....they ALWAYS go on in feb, but it's up to each store/area if they hold other events during the year...call your local store, i'm sure they'll be more than happy to help.
