Registering...

Registering...

2 registery questions:

1) Bed, Bath, & Beyond or Crate & Barrel? I'd rather only do one registry...easier for me to keep track of

2) Is there a list somewhere of things I 'should' register for? Or suggestions? Or anything? I'm clueless.

Re: Registering...

When I went to BBB they gave me a list of things I should register for and also the woman walked around with us for an hour helping us out. I'm sure that's her job, but she made the process a lot easier for us because we were very confused in that big store.

ITA!
I don't even know where Crate and Barrel's are located.
Plus, I feel like BBB has EVERYTHING from odds and ends to huge things in every category.

Re: Registering...

BBB has a much broader range of things. Crate & Barrel is AWESOME (we intend to register there) but the one drawback is that a lot of their items are seasonal, so they get discontinued.

(Because of that, FH and I will be registering at C&B not too long before the shower invites go out, in order to know that - hopefully - everything remains stocked)

We're most likely going with both BBB and C&B. But if I had to pick one, BBB would be it.

If you go on BBB website there is a printout of everything they suggest you register for.

Re: Registering...

I registered at C&B and Macy's but voted for BBB because if you are only going to do one places BBB may be easier for people to get to and have options... but why not consider both?? two isn't so hard to keep track of
