Some things like strollers I really needed to test in person. Others like bath supplies, etc I just picked online. I definitely price compared and adjusted online after registering though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725573 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:53:21 +0000 Bao 725573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a mix of both, I was so indecisive about things that I kept switching things around, adding and deleting multiple times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725568 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:52:34 +0000 Alivoo01 725568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Ditto on going into the store to touch and feel the items! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725443 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:22:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 725443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I agree-- I like seeing and feeling certain things, and yeah, I want to choose items available in store. DH is really busy and doesn't have much of a preference on most things, so I'll probably go by myself though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725415 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:14:06 +0000 lawbee11 725415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did our BRU registry in-store. I wanted to do it this way so that I could see what the store actually carries, because a lot of the stuff on the BRU website isn't available in-store (and the whole point of me registering at BRU was so that people could go to an actual store to buy things). I also liked looking at things in person, and DH liked using the scanner gun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725404 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:11:19 +0000 Modern Daisy 725404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'll let you know after my showers, but I did write a note at the top of my registry explaining that many items can be purchased in-store and marked off as purchased by guests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725372 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:02:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 725372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: Were people confused about the Amazon/ 'real store' thing? I'm thinking I'll do BBB and Amazon, since I think a lot of people will have things shipped anyway. I hate to shop online at BBB since it seems silly to ever buy something without a 20% discount coupon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725367 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:00:17 +0000 Pepper 725367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did BRU in store, and Amazon was obviously online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725352 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:56:25 +0000 pl0508 725352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online.

I went to Buy Buy Baby to test out the 'important' more expensive gear items and everything else I researched online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725346 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:54:56 +0000 lavender 725346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby registry at BRU was done all in-store, but I did add stuff to the registry at the end for the completion certificate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-register-in-store-online-or-both#post-725342 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:52:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 725342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you registered at an actual store, like Buy Buy Baby, did you go and set it up in person, or do it all online, or a mix? </p> <p>For wedding registries, I think I mostly signed up online, then went to the store to pick stuff out in person, then would change or add things online when I thought of them. But of course, I was already familiar with the items that are associated with adult living, you know (I know how many plates, I know what pans I like)? </p> <p>Just wondering if you found one more helpful than the other. </p>
