So FH and I are STILL in the registry process and I'm stumped. I don't want to register for (too many) things that are REALLY extravagant so maybe you guys can help. How much is your (or the average): 1. Towel 2. Every Day Dishes 3 Bedding (Duvet specifically)
I know you are supposed to pick what you want, but I felt like the stuff I was looking at is kind of expensive. I know I wouldn't want to show up at a shower with one or two towels so I don't want anyone else to feel that way.
Thanks (as always) for your help!

Re: Registry $$ Question
I have no idea about the cost of a duvet cover sorry....but I think towels cost about $10-15 each on the average....everyday dishes it depends.... FH and I are going to go to Target and get a Corelle set which costs about $60-70 for a set of four place settings in a box. When I registered online they had a guideline for how many gifts of each price range to register for based on the number of guests invited to your wedding...I would just register for a lot of things that cost between $20-25 each. At BBB you can also register for gift cards :) And don't worry if you have items that are costly...your friends might want to chip in for one larger gift (That's what my friends did!).

Re: Registry $$ Question
Don't worry about it. Just because it's on the list doesnt mean it will get bought. I would pick what you want. a few people might chip in. PICK WHAT YOU WANT!!

Pick what you want. I was the same way at first but I wanted some nice things that were good quality and would last. So when I thought of it that way, I felt better about the higher priced items.

I had middle of the line towels on my registry and people chose to buy me better!!! I had the same mentallity that all my stuff was too much money, but I got tons of the 'big' stuff and was totally shocked.

Re: Registry $$ Question
BBB usually has 20 percent off coupons and you can use mult for one person. I wouldn't worry about it, people can chip in to get it also. I think you should register for what you want and not get the most expensive everything but things you could use. We had a few very expensive items and then under 60 for most of the stuff. we are older, so we figured we only need 4 towel/set, since we already have towels. we went for the one of the cheaper sheet sets. Just be reasonable.
