i would still add a little. or if you dont mind seeing what everyone gets for you, once your invites go out, check your registry every day and add more as people buy. but then again, you might as well save yourself the stress and try to do that now.

do you mind me looking at your registry so maybe i could help with some suggestions? do you guys live together? we do and it was tough at first figuring out what to register for but i took into account the things we will need once we have a house/extra space and and 1 more bedroom.

Re: how big is your registry?

I'm going to be inviting 90 guests to my shower, and my registry is 2 pages on BBB. So I think that's probably about 16 pages printed.

Re: how big is your registry?

Mine is pretty big... and by no means do I expect to get all of it, I just wanted to make sure there were enough things in every price range for people to choose from!

Re: how big is your registry?

I believe ours is abour 8 pages also. I figured I would put everything on there that I could possibly think of. That way if I dont get it for the shower I could still buy it at a discounted rate after the wedding. They give you a discount on anything left on your registry after your wedding date.

Re: how big is your registry?

I went through what I think the guest list would be in my mind, and then I went through my registry and counted up the items in each price category to make sure I have a big enough selection. I think I'm good now, but that took awhile to get a nice assortment of pricepoints up there. I probably have enough for 75 guests, with their gift prices ranging from $50 to $125.

Re: how big is your registry?

I registered at BBB too and have 2 pages worth of stuff. I don;t think you should be worried that you have 8 pages of stuff. It's fine because its the one time in your life that you can do this and people have lots of options to choose from.

Re: how big is your registry?

I read somewhere that the 'rule of thumb' is to have about 2 items per guest. I'm only having around 60 people at my shower so I should have at least 120 items according to the article I read.

Right now I have about 3 items
