I apologize if we have done this recently. I wish the search function on TK wasn't completely useless.
Where is everyone registering? I know that is something a lot of us are working on right now and I am curious where you're going and how the experience has been.
I have a Amazon registry that I love but I want to give some of our relatives the option to shop in store. I also want to be able to go in an touch stuff. Online reviews are great for kitchen gadgets but I need to feel towels before I register for them!
Right now I am torn between BBB, JC Penney and Kohl's. All three have Fiestaware, which I am definitely planning to get. We're doing a small registry so i don't really want to go to more than 2 stores.
I am not planning on doing a Target registry for sure because I know their stock changes regularly.

I have received some engagement gifts from my Macys registry and they have all arrived in perfect condition. Macys also has sales seemingly every day and plenty of coupons.
Target: mainly day-to-day type stuff and small kitchen appliances
Macys: nicer, higher end stuff (like Ralph Lauren barware....no china or crystal for us but we wanted some nice stuff)
Sears: outdoor stuff...we call this our "man" registry...FI registered for a grill, tools, motorcycle jack/rack. Also, have some stuff we want that doesn't need to be expensive like new tupperware.

We tried to talk Tractor Supply to do a registry. Their customer service told us they do not do this but get so many requests for it, they are looking into starting. I was pretty disappointed since that place is like wonderland to us.
My FI & I just registered at Crate & Barrel. I recommend signing up for one of their events. It was nice to have free food/drinks (mimosas, juices, coffee, cupcakes, fruits, waffles, Paninis and more). Plus they have experts from different places like Cuisinart and Kitchenaid showing you the products. Even if you start a registry, doesn't mean you have to use it for the wedding. Just don't tell people you registered there or delete it.
I think our list will be: Macys, Target & Crate & Barrel. Gives people the option to purchase where they feel more comfortable.
We chose W&S b/c I love their kitchen stuff, and I found that there was a wide range of products there that weren't made in China (their store brand is mostly made in France).
We are thinking about registering at a third place, FI wants to do Home Depot, but I have read awful things about their registry and return policy on consumer reports, so maybe I will suggest Sears- another of his favorite stores.

C&B because FI loves to cook and they have great and affordable cookware, kitchen gadgets/appliances, and "china" (not really formal, but really pretty!)
BBB to fill in some odds and ends: additional cookware/kitchen stuff, cleaning/organizational stuff, etc.
PB for their sheets & linnens and a couple of other accessories.
