When/how long before your wedding and where did you or do you plan on registering for gifts? 

I feel clueless on when we should start doing te registry!

    I got married last October and I think we had registered by June.  We knew that we'd have to adjust some stuff as the seasonal stuff turned over but we were OK with that. We ended up registering at Target, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, as well as Macy's.  It hit multiple price points for people who wanted to spend a little or a lot and chances were good that most of our guests could find one of those stores near their home (guests were all over the place!).

    I think that we did the majority of our registering in Feb for our Aug wedding...so that was about 6 months out.  We did Target, BBB and Sears (the hubs wanted some tools!)  As PP mentioned, we picked our places based on what was going to be close/ceonvenient for our guests.   Also, with Target & BBB, you have the ability to add stuff online, so we added the majority of stuff from the store, but added few things along the way online.

    We did ours about a month before our first shower.  Keep in mind that products may go in and out of stock, especially seasonal ones.

    You should have a registry set by the time people start finding out when your showers are.

    Getting married in September, we started in May, our first shower was in the end of June. If you have birthdays/holidays coming up, you could start a registry. We didn't register for any seasonal items, and none of our items have been discontinued. You could start with basic kitchen items, those will have a small chance of being changed. Stay away from linens and towels for the time being, those are the items that get changed to most. GL!

    Coming from someone that used to work in Merchandising at Target, I don't recommend registering more than 3-4 months ahead of time there. They change their assortment too frequently and half the stuff you register for will either be marked down on on clearance! Just a thought! We are getting married next June, so I'll probably register in April. I'm thinking Target, Macy's and Williams Sonoma!
