How many registries is too many?

What is the appropriate amount of stores to register in?

Re: How many registries is too many?

I look at some of these posts and I think 'Holy moly, she is registered at FOUR places???' but then I guess if you are having 250+, you need to register for alot of stuff.

Im only having 100 guests, and I feel like 2 is too many, but Im doing it.

Re: How many registries is too many?

I was registered at 4-- originally I only registered at 3-- then waited to do bedding and towels, etc., as they tell you to do. When it came time to register for this stuff- I didn't find anything at the 3 stores I was registered for that I liked- so I had to add another registry.

Honestly-- I really don't think it matters-- people can choose the place they like to shop, what's the most convenient for them, etc. But I think really anything more than 4 is a bit much-- each of the places that I registered at was completely different-- it;'s not like I was registered at 4 dept stores.

Re: How many registries is too many?

I'm at 3 stores... plus our honeymoon registry. But, there are such FEW things that we've registered for at each place because we already HAVE a lot of stuff. Plus, one of our registries is at Crate and Barrel, which only a few people really know about.

I'm actually thinking of adding Bed, Bath and Beyond since I seem to go there ALL the time. I think the more registries you have, the more options you give your guests. I don't really understand the concept of 'too many' registries. I think it's more convenient for guests. Obviously, I wouldn't register at TEN places, but if it's at MOST under 5, I think it's okay. Just more convenient options for my guests!

Re: How many registries is too many?

I have 4 but we're inviting about 280 guests. My main registries are Bed Bath and Beyond and Pottery Barn. I started 2 others at Fortunoff and Macys's but never finished them. They both just have my china.

Re: How many registries is too many?

I only had 3, but added one more. The fourth one I never tell anyone about..there wasn't much on it, and it wasn't anything we really wanted. Just too lazy to cancel it. We just don't tell anyone.

Re: How many registries is too many?

I have 2 and I feel overwhelmed. If I could do it all over again, I would only pick Bed Bath and Beyond. They carry everything, including fine china. And on top of that the china set I picked out is around $85 a setting there. The same exact set at Macy's is 150. RIDICULOUS!!

We have two, and I think that is plenty.

Re: How many registries is too many?

I'd say that 2 is fine.

Re: How many registries is too many?

I am doing 4--technically. 3 stores and honeymoonwishes.com

I preferred many options for the guests, they live all over and might it might be more convenient for some to not travel far to find the 'one or two' places I choose.

I think its a personal choice.
