We are just doing 3, i think. Sears, walmart, and pennys. basically we are really bad at making lists, if we want it we get it. We decided these stores bc we grew up with them in our small towns and know that all our family has access to them. We didnt want to make shopping for us a hastle.
Williams-Sonoma cuz i'm a kitchen freak
Macy's for all things practical/local for most guests
Lowe's because we have a home and lots of people like to get us gift cards to Lowe's...yay we can buy paint! lol
We did a honeymood site because we are lucky enough to have all the things we need pretty much for the house! We probably will still end up registering at a home store but haven't decided what one!
we registered with www.honeyfund.com Its been wonderful so far! they they dont take a % of your gifts!

We did a honeymoon registry (through Honeyfund) and Target. The large majority of guests did the honeymoon registry online, or gave cash/checks at the wedding.
So far just Macys. Thinking about Crate & Barrell. Also thinking about Target. We need to decide soon!
I forgot to tell you where WE registered!
Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma, and BB&B
Williams-Sonoma b/c I <3 cooking
Tiffany's for silverware only, because I fell head over heels in love with the Audubon pattern (had I known how much drama this would cause, I would *not* have done it. I am normally a very frugal girl to a fault, and thought very carefully about whether to go ahead with this. I decided that silver is an heirloom, it doesn't break, it gets better with age, and you only get married once, and I wasn't registering for china b/c I was receiving my grandmother's, so I did it. FMIL has no idea that I am normally very frugal, and so this registry has marked me forever in her mind as a spoiled, frivolous princess.)
Macy's for linens, everyday dishes, towels, etc. etc. etc.
Ten Thousand Villages for unique, inexpensive, ethically sourced decor, serveware, table linens (this registry was supposed to be for our just-out-of-college friends so that they could get us something meaningful for under $30. Unfortunately, my aunts, grandmothers and in-laws keep commenting about how great the stuff is. Inside my head I'm like "GET OUT OF THERE! THAT IS NOT FOR YOU! P.S. buymeastandmixer")
Macy's because everyone goes there, and we know some friends who ONLY buy crystal for weddings. Might as well pick it out!
Williams-Sonoma for fun, fancy kitchen stuff. And my plates. And my bar glasses. And my wine glasses. Yeah, it's pretty much one-stop shopping for us there.
Target for appliances (other than the Kitcheaid mixer!), bedding, and random things I like--and anything that I liked that was significantly cheaper here.
BBB, and Honeyfund
Both were received pretty well. The old people used the BBB one and the young, modern types used the Honeyfund and thought it was a good idea.
We did Crate & Barrel (for dishes and a few other things) and Macy's for kithcen appliances, towels, and sheets. Basically wanted to keep this simple because we're having such a small wedding. I love your choices, though, and the topic in general, and wish we'd registered at Lowe's or Home Depot!
We're registering with two charities: the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund (they help out PRCA rodeo cowboys who have been severely injured) and Heifer International (they provide livestock to needy families which improves their diet, income and the bloodlines of the community's livestock). And for the "old fashioned types" we registered through wishpot for your normal household items.
@ GaBGal - REI is a cooperative outdoor gear store. It's absolutely fantastic.
We really don't need much in the way of stuff, since we are already in a house. So we registered at Sur La Table (the flatware we wanted was $100.00 LESS per 4 pc. place setting than Williams-Sonoma) Williams-Sonoma, because I love their table linens and the blender I wanted was there, and now you can regiester at Williams-Sonoma Home (towels, to melt into). But the bulk of the registry is for the honeymoon - honeyfund.com
We registered at Target and Walmart. We are having a tiny wedding and the people going are frugal (as are we) so Target and Walmart are the places to go 
We registered at Target only. I couldn't justify registering for china, so it's pretty plates for us.

We registered at Bed Bath and Beyond and Pampered Chef. We are thinking of registering at REI.com. We checked out Target but we liked more stuff at Bed Bath and Beyond better. We don't need a lot of big stuff, just some kitchen stuff and linens (towls, sheets, etc). I lived with my parents until I moved in with him and while he's lived in his house for almost 10 years, he has all hand-me-downs. So we do need to upgrade. And my SIL is a Pampered Chef rep so that was a no brainer.
As for REI, we love to camp and we'd like to get a bigger tent, new sleeping bags, and some misc. things. But since it's not technically for setting up our home, we're not sure if we should register for them.

We registered at REI! Mostly for upgrades of various backpacking gear. We also set up a registry at Target for a few things, but we don't really need or want much. The REI registry was the fun one for us, haha.
@ tessabella76 - it's helping set you up for something you love! If your family knows you guys love camping together, they'd probably rather buy you new sleeping bags than plates or something :) I say you should register there too.
we did Crate and Barrel and Bed, Bath and Beyond. They both have great return/exchange policies and registry completions.
hehe my FI is so cute... he never knew what registering is until a couple years ago when a friend of ours got married. We were in Macy's the other day and I was like "I can't wait to register!" and he asked where I thought we would. I said BB&B, Crate and Barrel and then someplace else. He got all flustered and said we need to register somewhere a little less expensive that no one would buy us anything from those places. I'm like umm BB&B probably is the best place for prices (we all those dang 20% coupons!) and its not like I said TIFFANY's or something!
It's funny (and I'm not trying to sound greedy) but his family is HUGE and not struggling for funds by any means. Every cousin who has gotten married has had all 3 registery sold out by the first shower! And believe me you, there were some pricey gifts on there lol, I just thought it was cute that he has no clue!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Okay so I know this isn't all the places you can register, but I tried. Also I could only do 15 options!!
Sorry if I missed yours -- let us know in the comments if I did.
