Registries
Hi there!
So has anyone else besides crazy me thought about their registries yet? Do you know where you will register?
We are thinking about BBB and Macy's, but haven't put much actual thought or reserach into that decision yet.
Also, when do you think you'll register?

Re: Registries
Just call me "Brothel"
And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

We just finished our registry last night. My shower is next Saturday. Just be sure to get them done before the invites to your shower go out. We registered at Target and Pottery Barn.
[QUOTE]I haven't thought about them yet. I probably should have gotten on that before my wedding, huh?

I'd advise holding off, too. We started our registry in December (my shower is in two weeks) and what I found out is, lots of items on the registry go out of stock or get discontinued and it's a royal PITA to weed through and figure out replacements.
We registered at Macy's Target and BBB, I liked that all three stores had good prices on the things we wanted and between the three of them, there was a wide selection of stuff.
Good Luck!

But then I'll have to plan a party, won't I? I don't want to have to feed anyone. I just want presents!

Us too.
It's not to early to start thinking about who has what and where you'd like to register. The girls on the boards had some great tips for me when I was thinking about registering.
Crate and Barrel was my favorite. They have registry events where the store is only open to couples registering, and you get one on one help and advice about gadgets and such and they serve you champagne and chocolate covered strawberries and baked brie. Pretty much if you give me champagne, I will happily register with you.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

C&B was the <em>best </em>registry experience ever. The woman at BB&B who followed us around with the gun and wanted to make sure we got enough registry cards to put in our invites? Not so much. She also took an hour and a half and made me miss my yoga class. Then I promptly deleted most of the stuff she forced us to have on that registry. My favorite part was, "Even if you already have something, you're starting a new life together! You need to register for all new things and get rid of the old stuff!"
At C&B we got mimosas, pancakes, and toasting flutes, just for showing up.
My FI made me register and it actually ended up being fun.

Like other posters, wait til a few months before getting married, so that items will be in stock, and not discontinued. There was a poster a while ago, that was so crying because she wanted platinum dishes, but they either ran out of a style and could only give her 4 of the 8 that she originally wanted... and 4 in another style. That would be funky formal dining for your guests for sure

Do not mess in the affairs of dinosaurs because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew
[QUOTE]I really don't want to start a regular registry. Sure there are lots of things we could use, but I would rather do a honeymoon registry like my boss just did. Find a bunch of things to do on the honeymoon and hopefully people can contribute to the cost of that. I.E. Visiting a museum in london, 2 tix @ $25 (I would convert the money when we got there). Does this sound awful?
Posted by martianwax[/QUOTE]
<div>Most ppl find honeymoon registry tacky. For one most sites charge a fee. Also generally speaking the person giving giving the money doesn't really know that you spent the money on what they contribute too. Like if I give you $50 for the 2 tix I don't know for sure you used it for that or something else. Also some guest don't like to given monetary gift.</div>
She also only had one gift bought as of today, and her wedding is Saturday. I hope for her sake she's getting a lot of checks or things off her other registry (BBB)
