Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Macy's for now. I am having a Lingerie Shower as one of mine. Maybe you could consider that as your shower.
If you want to get lingerie at the shower, maybe you should have a theme shower for lingerie. I'm not sure I would be comfortable opening presents with undies in front of my grandmother though.
I only registered at BBB because we didn't need a lot of things since we already owned a home. We didn't have a shower either.
i register for my honeymoon with disney honeymoon registry ... its very difficult to make a decision so i went with something easy.
we're registered at Bed, bath and beyond; Crate and Barrel, and we set up a universal registry on amazon for things like luggage and board games.
BB&B, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma (FI loves to cook) and Amazon for fun stuff like DVD boxed sets and a PS3!
I think we might register at BBB, Target and maybe Macys/ Dillards. I think its a good start...
I suppose asking a few girls to stray from the registry and perhaps buy something from victoria secret is wrong?
I did Macy's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl's. I got some Lingerie at my Bachlorette, which I had to return because it didn't fit. At a small shower hosted by my girlfriends I got one bra and panty set. At that shower I also got a Gift Card to Victoria's Secret fom my FMIL, who was not in attendance, she gave me a traditonal gift at my large shower that included family from both sides.
I don't think you should be asking anyone specifically to go to any store to buy something for your shower or wedding.
I know what a registry is. I'm just saying that I don't think it's right to tell someone, you should get me a gift from Victoria's Secret, when you aren't registered there. Plus how would they know what to get you from there?
We did a honeymoon registry as well as fun stuff from Target! Then we did a little bit of Bed Bath & Beyond for random kitchen and house stuff :]
hey now, i think what missAsB meant is that you should set up your registry and then let guests decide where/what they want to get for a gift. I think she's saying etiquette-wise you shouldn't tell people to only get so-and-so or only shop at a certain store for an event (like a shower).
Lets try and keep it civil.
We're registered at BBB, Macy's, and Wishpot
@chillmer I noticed Anthropologie has a "Wish List" .. Is it the same as a registry? What sort of things did you register for? Plates and candles?
Macy's and BBB, our best experience so far was at Macy's. We also liked Crate and Barrel but it wasn't as accessible to most of our guests.
@Hourieg, I did the Wishlist. I added all sorts of pretty plate and bowl sets, glasses, and coffee mugs. The baking stuff is SO cute. I added a couple aprons, pie pans, ingredient holders, a spoon rest, etc. Also some pretty bathroom stuff.
Chillmer! How adorable! They have the cutest aprons!! I didn't think about that! Are your guests able to access the wish list and purchase items for you online?
People have actually been emailing me to ask if there's anything in particular I want, and of course I say the stuff from Anthropologie because it's the prettiest. I don't think there's anything wrong with telling a few close friends you'd like something specific. Your best friends aren't going to be offended or get all etiquette police on you.
I bet they have pretty lingerie items there too .. maybe I can tell my sister and my best friend to get me something like that. Gosh I'm so glad you shared this with me! I bought a pair of boots from there this winter .. I have gotten soooo many compliments on them .. They were expensive but soo adorable!
We are doing 3 registries. Bed, Bath, and Beond, Macy's, and Target. I know this might seem like a lot, but I wanted to give my guests options. Some people prefer to shop at specific stores, or have credit cards at certain stores where they earn reward points, etc...
We're registered at Macys, BBB, and Williams-Sonoma. We had a blast scanning at BBB, but did Macys and WS online, so not as much fun there.
Wow, Toffee... I have the same registry trifecta as you! I started my registry in all three stores but did most of my updates online.
At first we were only going ot go with only two (Macy's & WS) but found the china we wanted at BBB for way cheaper. We registered for the placesettings and a few pieces at BBB and the items we couldn't find there were at Macy's. Williams Sonoma had a lot of fun kitchen gadgets that are smaller & great for shower gifts.
@knikolle We did the majority at BBB (we have one of the "flagship" stores here) and finished up mostly at WS. We did register at JCP, but I didn't enjoy the experience there so I switched over to Macys. By going through them my family will have a store in town to shop from as the closest WS is in Portland and the closest BBB is in our town, 2 hours north. How was your bridal consultant at BBB? Oh and did you get the printed cards from there about your registry or did you get cards with labels to stick on them? I got the latter, but I just saw the former in a wedding invite and I must say I'm pretty jealous...jealous enough that I might just make my own cards to put in the invites for people.
I don't think you have to worry about the lingerie thing. I've been to lots of themed showers (lingerie, stock-the-bar, etc.) where the couple wasn't really registered for the theme. I think if you have that specific of a gift in mind for a shower, a registry isn't necessary. A registry is just there to guide the gift-giving (which is why etiquette says not to tell people to only shop at those stores), and gifts that specific don't require a guide. I think if you do a lingerie shower, many people will buy you lingerie from VS, not just Macys, where you're registered.
We're at BBB & Crate & Barrel :)
@ toffee... our registry experience was good at all three stores. If anything I thought Macy's was a little overbearing but friendly and knowledgable. Our consultant at BBB was young and a little inexperienced but very nice and thrilled we were registering there. I think we got the printed cards but I tossed them. I included info about our registries on our website instead. I'm sure if you go back (or call) & ask for the new cards they will give them to you or drop them in the mail since you are so far away :-)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I'm thinking about Bed Bath and Beyond for the bridal shower and Bloomie's for the wedding. Also if I register at BBB .. does that mean no one will be getting me any sexy lingerie? That makes me sad. I'm having one large bridal shower. 50 women!!
