a little advice

Hi 11'ers, just some advice.. DO NOT register right now unless your having an eparty. I finished registering about 2 months ago (aside from bedding) and there are SOOOO many things that are discontinued. So I basically wasted my time adding those things.

Just a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up!! Sorry to hear that it stinks for you. Oh well at least you get to have fun with the gun again!!

thanks.

I'm actually registered at Crate and Barrel but the good thing about C&B is when they start to discountinue thngs, they send you an email and let you know what on your list is being discontinued and a suggestion of what to replace it with. It's usually just an upgraded version of what you already had on there which is pretty sweet.

i actually didnt register before my eparty, and we got all cash and checks it worked for me

when should you register, how many months before the shoower/wedding by the way?

YIKES sorry to hear that Adriana!!!!! Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't register for my e-party either LOL and it's March 6th.

I registered at BBB, Macy's and Amazon.
At least 3 things from each has been discontinued. (I went out and bought one from Macy's before hand lol )

I would register.... maybe 10 months before.

As someone who has been engaged for 6 (count 'em 6) years, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I originally had my registry at Fortunoff (RIP Fortunoff!!! ) And we used to get the discontinued emails. it's easy enough to go online and replace items here and there once the structure of the registry is in place. I don't think it's a big deal.

A few things I would wait to register for:

Bath accessory sets
Towels
Anything holiday related/seasonal
and maybe bedding

because those are things that get discontinued and really are released new every year.

I think there's a big benefit in registering early. If you;'re not regitered people will buy you gifts either as ane e-gift or xmas or whatever and it might be something you don't really want or can't use. Also, my family is really big on buying registry gifts for holidays. I already have most of my casual and formal china and a lot of odds and ends because of this
