REGISTRY...

fyi- I HATE IT!

its soooo damn confusing!
you have to think of what you'll get, what people can afford, what did you put on macy's that you didn't put on BBB, who has a better deal? how many of this, how many of that.... I really want this HE hates it and wants that..

how did you ladies do it!?

what is the AVERAGE spending price per guest?
like I don't want all my things to be over $100.00 meanwhile people usually spend $20.00 (exaggeration, but you get it lol)

I guess FH and I have to go to the store again, last time we went to BBB we only put maybe 10 things on the regy... I go on macy's website and put SOOO many things, but its all crap we'll use maybe once or twice or is far too expensive!

what are the BIG things I should be looking at, like plates and stuff right??

sorry I'm all over the place, I just want this done.

Re: REGISTRY...

Register for a wide range of things. From things that are $5 to things that are $200. Personally i didn't register for anything over $200, IF that.

Use the checklists they gave you for reference.
Don't register for things that your going to use once or twice.

Re: REGISTRY...

we registered for everything i really wanted and we put a wide range of prices. my $300 food processor was already given as an eng gift... and someone else bought my $300 kitchen aid mixer. i also know that there are lots of people who would prefer to go in on a big item together.... don't stress, but don't put junk you won't use on it either just cause you think its they right price!

Re: REGISTRY...

Think of the fact that your friends/family might go into gifts together--I usually do that for showers where I'm not super close with the girl. for the last shower I went to, another friend and I went in on a whole baking set....definitely do a wide range of gifts.

ITA! Get what you need and want! A shower is when you are suppose to get the nicer things!

Re: REGISTRY...

my advice is - if it's not something you're absolutely dying for, don't put it on there - you'll be disappointed if you don't get the things you really really wanted...
