Did you do a registry with? Who has been (or was if you are married) the best Customer service experience? The worst?
I need to start registering ASAP but I hear horror stories about Target and things not being available online for different dept. stores, so let me know what your experience has been ladies...
Re: How Many Places?
I'm still a little over a year away, so I may change my mind, but I doubt it.
We did a destination wedding and got married in Vegas, most of the guests that came gave gift cards or sent gifts ahead of time. We invited 140, had 85 show up.
We registered at 3 places.
It was so much fun, not sure why people dread it so much.
Crate and Barrel (My favorite store - they did a registry event served us breakfast and mimosas while we scanned)
Target (didn't have any issues with things not being available or not being able to return items)
Bed Bath and Beyond
My thoughts if something isn't available on one of your registries that's why you do multiple places so people can pick and choose. Also if you check your registry and see that items aren't available you can switch them out ahead of time.
I've hear good things about Kohls and Macy's registries too!
With that being said, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Macys or Crate and Barrel seem to be some popular ones I've seen although I can't say much about their customer service.

I could go nuts in every store, I'm just not allowed to go in them very often now. I was going to work at CB part time for the holidays but decided I would never have any money if all the items were right there in front of me. LOL H doesn't understand, but he only came to one store with me and decided it was way overwhelming - but he doesn't like to shop at all.

I know just what you mean. A friend of mine got a part time job at CB to pay for extra expenses for her wedding last year and I'm not sure if she really made any money because of all the temptation.
I'm like that with Macys. To me its even worse because there's household stuff AND clothes, makeup, etc. In fact I put myself on restriction from my Macys charge. I gotta pay that baby down.
When is a good time to set these up? My wedding is a little over a year from now (Dec '12) and I don't want to start TOO early.

I got married in August and setup mine in December. That was a little too early because I had to keep updating it. At least a month or two at the most before you shower/wedding would be nice.
I registered at Target, Macy's and Bed Bath and Beyond. The customer service at Macy's and BB&B was great. I registered online with Target and really wish I hadn't because I didn't see a need at the point but had already created the registry. I'm getting married in June of next year and we registered at the beginning of Oct. I wanted to get it done prior to sending out the Save the Dates b/c the registry information is on our wedding website.

Same here... FI wanted to do 3... but we don't need that much stuff.. and there is no need for all of that!
Plus.. I'm the type of person that actually wants to go and pick out half the stuff that would be on the registry for myself!..lol
