Now I plan on setting them up very shortly and was interested on setting up registries at Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well as Macy's and Target...Now, since I am setting things up at those three places...Does anyone have advice on what I should put on all registries, and then what I should put individually at each location...Like I figured I would put the fine china at both Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Macy's...Anymore opinions would be awesome thank you :)

I'm registered at both Macy's and BB&B. I kept the 'finer' things at Macy's (china, flatware, linens) and the casual or everyday things at BB&B. You certainly don't have to do it that way, but that made sense to me.
I would keep your fine china at one location, though. And, if you're going to register at three places, be sure you don't multiple-register for items (you certainly don't want three whisks from three different stores!)
When you register, Macy's and BB&B will give you a checklist of general things they recommend to include on a registry, which can be really helpful if you're not sure where to start.

I registered at BB&B and Bloomingdales.....originally with the intention of the fancy stuff at Bloomies and the other stuff at BB&B, until I realized my china was $40 per place setting cheaper at BB&B. Meanwhile, a lot of my appliances were cheaper at Bloomies! I simply chose whichever store was cheaper for each item.

I would not register for the same items at different stores. You'll run the risk of people getting you the same thing that you'll need to deal with returning.

I noticed that the same exact items I was registering a Macy's was cheaper at Bed, Bath & Beyond so my Macy's registry is much smaller!

That happened with me too! I originally registered for my china at Macy's then found it at BB&B way cheaper PLUS you can use a 20% coupon. Can't beat that deal! So I decided to get rid of it from Macy's.

We registered for MOST things at BB&B because we knew that people would more likely go there because of the coupon. But we also registered at Macy's because I liked their bedding more. I felt it was better quality. Like some of the other girls said, i would def not register for the same/ similar things at each store. I would also go to BB&B first because a majority of your stuff will come from there. At least mine did

this exactly. I also put my more expensive items on my macys registry because I have a macys cc and for every purchase made of your registry you get a gift card after your wedding
also I went through my momc kitchen to think of things the store registry lists may have missed. I found a lot of things that I find to be useful to put on there.
