Weddingbee boards

Just trying to get a sense of what other people have done... how big was your wedding registry (registries)? We want to give our guests some selection, and I live in an area where people are more likely to give you a gift than money. I hate it when you check someone else's registry, and there are only one or two items left. Usually either too small to be given on its own or too expensive for my budget.

So selection is good, but we don't want to come off as greedy either. Thoughts?

While making my registries I was told to have two gifts for every guest in varying ranges.

Honestly I have like 1.5 to each guest. I'll just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get too low.

And (although it sounds awful) I know I can always return things that I decide I don't need later on.

@babybluz: Thanks for the link to the Bay calculator! I remember now going over that with our Bay registry consultant, but it has been over a year, and I'd forgotten.

@Gemstone: That's the direction I was leaning. It's better to give people choice. I've already had one shower, with another one coming up soon. We also tried to get a wide variety of things, since it seems some people prefer to buy practical items, while others want to choose something decorative and heirloom-quality.
