We are registered at BB&B and Bloomingdales - together 148 items for 120 people. Most items are between $20-$80. We haven't picked out everyday dishes yet (that will add a lot of items!), and we're thinking of later also doing an amazon registry.
My favorites include....
- Fine china (I just love it!)
- Turkey roaster (I've never made a turkey, but I feel like this gadget will help me so much)
- Weird magnets :p
I guess I'm not very particular about most items, although I can vouch that every one of them would be a helpful addition to our future household. FI is really excited about kitchen knives.
Registered for about 260 items between 2 stores. Prices range from $4-$300. About 300 invited guests.
Fave items?
Monique Lhuillier Etoille china settings
Garment steamer
Beertender for the hubby (and his beer mugs)
Fiesta dinnerware in 4 different colors
K-cup carousel (for my coffee addiction)
I think that we have 87 items, and are also asking for GC's to a local furniture store. Top wishes:
1. Furniture (or enough GC's to get us almost all the way there)
2. Bedding ensemble
3. Bathroom ensemble
4. Pub table
5. Lamps
Oh wow, now I feel like I have nothing!
We have about 60 items between Target and Kohl's, with about 130 invited. We keep deleting things too... we've lived on our own before and keep needing our own things, but since we're young most of it's new anyway! I have no idea what else to register for. Our range is about $5 to I think $300.
My favorites:
Stand Mixer
Espresso maker for FI
Fun kitchen gadgets that I'm too cheap to buy on my own because I don't use them enough, lol
We have 1 registry with 110 items on it. (Low amount of items, I guess!)
1. Fine China (Waterford Kilbarry)
2. Silverware Set
3. Dyson Vacuum
4. Luggage
5. Bed-in-a-bag
My BBB consultant said you should take the number of guests you've invited to the wedding and multiply that by two (because who's going to just buy you one towel?). I've only registered at BBB and hadn't finished. FI and I had an interesting time while registering. It went something like this:
FI didn’t understand why you needed more than two towels.
FI: “it’s not like you use more than two towels at a time now do you?” and “they have to match? What? I thought I could just pick out my favorite color/design and they would all somehow “fit” together!”
I’m glad it finally got easier once we got the kitchen stuff…there was less color picking in that section. Except for plates/dish
FI: ”why do we need plates we have plenty of plates”
Me: “yes, babe we have plenty of hand me down plates. This is the time where we can get the once that ‘match’ our décor”
FI: “What??? There’s that ‘matching’ word again…I don’t get it!”
HAHAHA!
@MsNarwhal: We must have similar taste, I love my kitchen aid so freaking much AND I've recently started to gather le creuset kitchenware also in cobalt, I LOVE the colour!
i know registry is a usual thing to do in the US but i still seems bizzare to me, i suppose it's only telling people what you would like as a gift, over in the uk you usually end up with 10+ photo frames, 6 photo albums and a couple of toasters, some of you mentioned you don't yet live with your FI so i suppose it make a lot of sense.
i would like to wander round a store with the gun thingy scanning all the things i would love to own that would be cool
238 items across 3 registries
favorite items were the china, kitchen aid stand mixer (obvi) capresso coffee maker/grinder (sO excited for this one!) and hand mixer. i like to cook so i'm excited for all that. i'm really hopeful i get the crystal giftware i registered for too but not getting my hopes up!
@TxsAggieBride: But what do you register for?? Lol. We have about 130 invited and we have 60 items on the registry, not counting the popcorn maker my parents decided to give us now, and the toaster I need to buy now. And I bought a few other things I need, so it will be even less! I don't know what else to register for. We've gone through lists, we've registered for newer versions of things we have... but still, not a lot we need.
Honestly, I'm not sure what else to register for. We aren't even close either.
My friend's FI wanted to register for a blue-ray DVD player, and I think she's letting him do it. What the heck, right? Another suggestion is to register for honeymoon activities. I've seen people register for a snorkling excursion, jungle tour, or even room service, etc. You can even split them up so that for example two people are chipping in to buy the excursion. Just some ideas to tinker with.
I have about 75 gifts on there.
1) kitchenaid mixer
2) china
3) silverware
4) le cruesets
5) Cuisinart chopper
Everything else on there is relatively inexpensive.
I prepared different categories for my registry.....like...
Kitchen appliances
Dinnerware
Glassware
Table Linens
Bed and Bath.....
And then selected the gifts for each categories........
This way its easy for me to put what i need and for guests also to have options to choose from......
We have 197 items at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and 73 items at Macy's for 200 guests. I'm sure I will tweak the registries as it gets closer to my shower. Items ranging from very low priced to the Dyson vacuum at $519. I'm not expecting anybody to actually buy the Dyson... but, we'll see!
My favorite items:
@amw511s: We've got some very big ticket items (in the $400-600 range, which I would call big ticket anyway, like your dyson). I've kept them in our working list on the chance that people might want to throw in on a big gift. Plus, one of our stores offers a completion discount, so if we don't get it for the wedding, we can buy the item(s) at a discount after.
We have 45 items on our registry at BBB and then a honeymoon registry with our excursions broken down into probably another 50 or so "items". We're having 100 guests. My favorites items (they're not very exciting):
1. American Tourister Luggage
2. Swim with sharks/stingrays excursion
3. Digital cooking thermometer with remote (I love to BBQ)
4. Couples massage
5. Stainless steel soup pot with pour spout
6. Crock pot
Oh, wow. Between BBB and Macy's, we've got about 75 things. And we invited 185. Well, we sent out 105 invitations. We didn't want to register for stuff we didn't need. We *just* (last week) moved in together and have never lived on our own outside of college, so we would really like to get those 75 things we really need. We'll gladly accept money if everything is gone. High hopes.
Top ten?
1. Shark vaccuum
2. Dishes (Noritake colorwave in slate. So excited. But we've gotten none so far.)
3. Silverware
4. Towels and washcloths
5. Master bed set
6. Pots and pans set (calphalon, so big dreams)
7. A really big George Foreman grill
Not ten, but those are the biggies.
