Weddingbee boards

I asked a while ago how many places most people were registering at, and it seems like three is the number - a few folks had four.  I suppose the main thing to remember is that most of your guests are going to look at probably maximum two of your registries, and not go any further than that unless they absolutely can't find something to get you with that level of effort.  The more places you register, probably the fewer things you have on each registry, which makes it more likely that people look at a couple and can't find anything left that they want to give you (which is sort of discouraging for them).  If there is a way to consolidate them on a single website that helps.  For people who go into the actual store, its even worse (unless maybe they are all located close together).  You may end up getting more gifts off-registry, just because people decide they are not going to one more store...  You can probably solve this by registering for a ridiculous amount of total gifts, to make sure there isn't any single store with maybe only 20 things to choose from.

Thanks IndianBride - I was wondering if I was a total b**** for my potential degree of annoyance.  The thing is, you want shopping for your present to be fun for the guests.  Having so many stores that it potentially takes hours makes it seem kind of like work.  I think that the point of registry is to make gift-giving somewhat easy, as well as to help make sure you get what you want or need.
