I would wait. A lot of things become discontinued. I registered in August and some of my items aren't available anymore. I would say a good 8-12 months before you get married, unless you are having an engagement party, because people love to get gifts from there too.

Re: registry?
some people will want to start buying you gifts as soon as you get engaged... its also really painful and boring and something you want to take your time with to really think through... 8-12 months before you get married is a good estimate

Re: registry?
Well that's the thing, my engagement party is in January.. but my wedding isnt until 2012.. So should I register for little stuff now for the engagement party and register for the bigger stuff down the line?

I just registered at Macys and they gave us a free bag and free wedding magazines! They were super helpful too. They have a rewards program where you get a giftcard after the wedding. BBB has a rewards program too for free items. I plan to do both!

No problem! Macy's has a GREAT rewards program. My co-worker's wedding was a year ago and she's still getting freebies from Macy's.

Re: registry?
I registered shortly after we got engaged (for a few items) because people wanted to get us gifts. We recently added more and will continue to add more up to the shower!
