wedding registry

FH & I are trying to decide where to register......We only want to choose 2 stores. We are considering Fortunoff, Macys, Bed Bath & Beyond, Crate & Barrel, Target, and Bloomingdales..... Any opinions???

We like alot of things are each of these stores but we don't want to go overboard with too many registries!

I would do one high end store (like Fortunoffs or Macys) and one budget store (like target or BBB)

---

Thanks - That's a GREAt idea!

I rem reading a while back that people were always having probs with macys... I would go check that out first

I was just thinking the same thing...and you should make sure you don't register for the same thing at both stores....Like, you should probably focus on getting bath and bedding at one store, and kitchenware at another...so that you don't keep getting two of the same thing..

we're registered at Target and Fortunoff
best of both worlds!

BUT most of the 'good stuff' on our Target Registry is only available online

that's what we did!

us too, though I think that Macy's is WAAAAY overpriced.

The thing I love about BB&B is the coupons, people will get you nicer gifts if you have one......

maybe I should just hand some out at the bridal shower

We chose fortunoff and linens and things... 2 reasons- one we liked the selection and two- fortunoff gives you 5% back on your gifts so that you can complete your registry (i think macys also does this) and we chose linens and things because they give you the largest discount after the wedding to complete your sets.

---

Thanks for the info - I only thought Fortunoff did that

How much is the completion discount at Linens and Things?

Yea im doing Fortunoff and BBB...


I was gonna do Target b/c We need things for our apt......ad we go there to buy stuff lol....ALOT...its like 5 sec from FH's house...

Mostly things we need to register for is for the 'house'

But im not doing it cuz FH is not liking it

Thank you thank you...i'm half serious with that.

Seriously, i have sooooooo many of them at home I've been holding onto them since the last wedding I was in over a year ago. Back then I was asking everywhere and couldn't find one, so I just kept the ones I have. Now I must have over 50 sitting in my junk drawer at home. We usually get one every week in the sunday paper.

I wonder if thats tacky to give my sister a bunch when she's ready to send out shower invitations. I'd rather people save money on gifts than buying something they can't afford.

Thats actually a good idea. I wouldn't want my guests to overpay when I know they can get it for less
