We registered last weekend at Macys and Kohls. The woman who was helping us at Macys told us they recommend we register for twice as many gifts as guests we are inviting, so people have a variety to choose from. We are inviting 300 people which would be 600 gifts. When we did our registry we only registered for the things we really wanted and thought we would use and we have about 175 items total between both stores. I thought this seemed like a lot! We have a variety of prices ranging from inexpensive kitchen tools and dishcloths to pricey china. Do we need to go with Macys guidelines and register for more gifts? I don't want people to spend money buying us things that will sit in boxes unused. And, although we are inviting 300 guests, most of them are couples with children so we're really only sending about 130 invitations. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
