If you registered at BBB and another store, did you find that most people ignored the other registry?
I must admit, i sneaked a peak at my BBB registry and was pleasantly surprised, not a ton of stuff is off but enough that i'm very happy.
I decided to look at my Fortunoff registry to see if i needed to add/change anything and NOTHING except for something I got for my bday, plus the 3 fine gifts i registered for are gone.
I wouldn't care all that much, except I put all my drinkware/crystal on the Fortunoff registry.
Do you think I should move that over to the BBB one since both stores carry the line?
Should I move most of the stuff that can be moved, over to BBB? There really isn't that much stuff on the Fortunoff registry to begin with aside from the fine gifts, crystal, bedding and a lot of 'little crap' for the kitchen...
or should I just leave everything as it is?
I have no idea when my shower is, or if invites went out yet...if invites went out, i suppose i need to leave it all as is right?

I have the same issue with my Macys/crate & barrel registries. My Macy's is almost done but Crate & Barrel it looks like people are ignoring it. I actually moved some things that Macy's carries to Macys from CB and they have been bought!
I voted move the china over to BBB, but don't worry about the rest of the stuff. your guests will eventually have to go t the fortunoff registry.

i would move it if you can. Same thing happened to me! I think most people will go to BBB bc they always have the 20% off.

It's funny that you say this because I was thinking this exact thing today. I think most people go to BBB because it's more convenient and because they can use their coupns which is great. I have 2 other registries besid BBB and I have alot of stuff on it that I REALLY want that I couldn't get at BBB. I would leave it I guess and see what happens.

What coupons??
coupons for stuff that fortunoff sells too. Like if you have a 20% off BBB coupon and want to buy Lenox china that is sold at both BBB and Fortunoff, you can use the coupon at Fortunoff.
I deleted my Fortunoff registry last week. They discontinued most everything that I had registered for, about 8 weeks after we reigstered. Such a pain in the butttt.

I would move it over. People might be hearing/reading the stuff about Fortunoff in the news and not knowing what is going on is just avoiding the store.

that makes me sad. I'm one of the people that kept saying 'don't worry about it, fortunoff is fine!' lol OOPS!
I'm not sure what to do... I wasn't supposed to be looking at either one lol so i can't ask my mom or whoever what to do either

I was thinking the same thing. No one has purchased anything off my fortunoff registry yet and I was thinking of moving everything over. I still might do it but I have some time. I do think you should, all my stuff will probably be moved the month before my wedding

Same thing happened to me - I ended up moving things over to BBB and then received them......I only have about 6 things left on my fortunoffs registry cuz I moved it all over - just 3 pieces of fine crystal which I am hoping I get as wedding gifts, although prob not since its so close.
Move to BBB, I think you will get more...some reason peole don't seem to be into Fortunoffs! Or you can put it on both and then if you get it from one place, remove it from the other.

I have registries at BBB and target. I have plates and everyday cups on target, which I thought woould be the first things to go...still haven't moved! Very few things have been bought off target, but bbb has stuff flying off. Not sure why.
