We are finally going to be registering on Tuesday. You ladies have any tips??
If an associate has to follow you around, don't let them convince you into registering for things you don't need. I had to come home and redo my registry online because the store associate said she couldn't leave us alone and then convinced me to add things I didn't want.

I'd say, if your not sure if you want a certain item....just scan it and register for it anyway. It's easier to delete things off than to try to remember what you wanted later and look it up online.
Ask the store if they have any reward program. For instance, I think Macys gives you 5% back on things people has bought you + 10% on what you purchase with your Macy's card. Also, as it was mentioned before, read reviews on the items!

Definitely agree with cets to read the reviews. I did that after we registered in the store and deleted everything that got really awful reviews.
Thanks everyone I'm slightly nervous it will be overwhelming so all this really helped. I'm just gonna go in thinking we will do what we can and I can do the rest online later!
We just did BBB tonight. I did all my kitchen electronics online with my mom the other night and that saved alot of time. We walked out of there crosseyed! Don't do it on a night you can't have some wine after, pick a couple of categories to concentrate on at a time, and don't tell anyone you're going through the process! They all hop on and give you opinions!
The associate at BBB annoyed us. Definitely go with lots of time available. We only did our China and kitchenware – that took over two hours. Even when we told the associate we had to get going, she still insisted on showing us more things. We now edit the list online. I’m hoping Macy’s isn’t as annoying.
The associate at BBB actually helped with the everyday dinner stuff- bc they set everything up for you to make sure it matches. Then we told her we'd do everything else on our own. We just finished ours this weekend- the first time is fun, then it gets overwhelming. I suggest you print out the checklist on the Macys website and keep track of your entire registry with that checklist- it helped A LOT! Have fun!!
