We did BB&B- but apparently alot of the stuff people tried to buy us we're available.

We also did Kohl's- I thought that was better, however BB&B just has more of a selection.

BBB and Macys... I got more from BBB then Macys and I found BBB to be much cheaper for some things as well.

Ditto. But Macy's has an excellent rewards program- especially if you attend their registry shopping events.

We did!! We used Travelers Joy & I loved it! You end up getting a check for the total amount of 'gifts' purchased so you can use the money on anything you want. We got over $2,000 from it which we used for diff excursions in Fiji.

We also had a BB&B registry for the more 'traditional' guests. That worked out fine too. We already had a house and mostly everything house related so we just put china and some other things on there. Good thing about BB&B is that you can return items for cash

We used Travelers Joy also & it was great!! We got over $3k, very easy to use for our guests & for myself. Def recommend doing a honeymoon registry! Good Luck!

We registered with BBB and Macy's and had no issues with either place.

crate and barrel, pottery barn and tiffany's. they were all great, only issue was that it was difficult for our Canadian guests to buy off of C&B (I'm Canadian s a big portion of our guests came from Canada). But other than that they all worked well!

I used Macys- The rewards program is wonderful. If you register with them and you and FH both have Macy cards you will get cash back on all you purchases along with cash back from you purchases off your registry. I ended up getting a gift card for a little over $120 to use. Also anything you that isnt bought off your registry you can get at 10% off.
