Weddingbee boards

Quick question for you guys...

We built a house this fall, and moved in 10 days ago (Closed on the mortgage yesterday!). We absolutely love it, and have an ever expanding list of "Things We Need". Some are more crucial (like bedroom curtains so I stop flashing the kids at the Christian School behind us), while others are just things we want (Kitchen Aid anniversary mixer!? With the glass bowl? Heck yes!).

We are planning on registering at Home Depot and Macy's for our wedding. My mom keeps asking me what I/ we want for Christmas, so that she and my grandmothers can shop. FI's mom is asking similar questions. I thought maybe we should register at Home Depot before Thanksgiving to help guide people giving Christmas and Housewarming gifts ideas.

I was crusing the Home Depot website today and noticed that they have both a Housewarming and a Wedding registry. Hmm... should we register for Housewarming things now, and then do the Wedding registry later? Or should we keep everthing on one registry so that people don't get confused?

Which do you think is more guest, friend and family friendly?

Hmm... I'll have to ask the HD peeps if you can transfer things from one registry to another and close out the first?  You actually have to go into the store to set up the registry there. Annoying.

I DO like the idea of registering for a Housewarming right now; it seems weird to recieve wedding gifts for Christmas, you know?

idk...to me, it seems like a bit much to have a house warming registry right before you start a wedding registry.  i know these aren't your intentions, but it could seem like you're just trying to add another occasion for you to receive gifts.  what's wrong with just opening a wedding registry? i doubt people will think it's strange, in fact, no one will even know unless you tell them.  plus, that way you don't have to shuffle things around after the holidays.  but of course, go with what works for you and your family!
