We agreed to use baby list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2743113 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 11:18:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2743113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 is a bit much to me; I feel like if you add BBB/Target registries, your local family/friends may still go that route so they can order online and not have to go to a store. </p> <p>For older people, if they're not tech savvy, they'll just buy what they want to buy.... </p> <p>I technically had like 3 registries but 2 were just for me to get the completion discounts so no one knew.</p> <p>My sister hosted and she put in a note that guests can feel free to get the same item from another source and just to let her know so she could mark it as purchased on the main registry. I had a small shower and everyone's tech savvy so it worked out well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2743088 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 10:32:08 +0000 kes18 2743088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a BRU or Target (depends on the target- some don't have very much so I lean towards BRU). And then don't tell them about the bedding one. I did some I didn't tell people about just to get the discount for myself because I knew no one would probably buy off of it as most people shop in store right before the shower. I like BBB but there are none where any of my guests lived so I just did BRU and Amazon (and land of nod for myself). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2743031 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 09:24:29 +0000 skinnycow 2743031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think four is a lot. We had two (Target and BBB).</p> <p>Like someone else mentioned above, I'd check out Babylist. I think you can add items from multiple stores to one registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742974 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 07:49:03 +0000 mrsrain 2742974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had one: Amazon. If I were in your shoes I would swap out BBB for something more available to your out of town guests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742971 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 07:41:34 +0000 Littlebit7 2742971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha I was a weirdo and only had one on Amazon and I didn't tell anyone about it unless they asked. I basically used it for the completion discount. I didn't want a shower. It really helped contain the amount of crap we received (and it kept me in check, too. I didn't buy ridiculous stuff we didn't need). I took more of a "buy it as you need it" approach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742958 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 07:19:57 +0000 nanilani 2742958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had BBB as my main registry and a few odd items at BRU. (Also private registries at Target and Amazon for the discounts, but those weren't visible to my friends and family.) But fair warning: most people opted to buy stuff from BRU even if I had registered for the item at BBB b/c it wasn't as conveniently located for them. So if you're particular about what you want, having a registry option local to out of town guests will probably pay off. 3-4 public registries does sound like a lot, so I agree with whoever suggested using a universal registry instead (Babylist, Amazon, Target). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742951 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 06:27:19 +0000 matador84 2742951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did Target and BBB. There isn't a bbb where I live so I just did it online. I didn't know about babylist when I had my two, if I had, I would have done that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742942 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 04:40:56 +0000 Alba4 2742942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had 1 at Buy Buy Baby. People mostly bought off the registry for the shower or made handmade gifts or gave clothing. 4 seems like a lot to me, but it doesn't really matter. People will buy what they want. I wouldn't stress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742939 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 02:19:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2742939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Babylist and had a secret one on Amazon for the completion discount. We didn't have a shower, for those that asked for our registry details- more friends than family stuck to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742937 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 02:02:37 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2742937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FancyGem: honestly, I worried about this but all the people who I was thinking about just bought stuff off of the registry. They all bought clothes actually. So unless you know these people really depend on registries, I wouldn't worry too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742930 Thu, 01 Jun 2017 23:16:43 +0000 FancyGem 2742930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I'm planning to buy my own bedding. Only registered to use the completion discount. So I guess I don't have to tell people about that registry. </p> <p>@catgirl: The guests who are tech savvy are local and wouldn't have an issue going to the stores that we prefer. It's mostly older relatives who would have an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742927 Thu, 01 Jun 2017 22:51:01 +0000 catgirl 2742927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think four is a lot. Are most of the out of town guests tech savvy? Can they use the BBB website?</p> <p>We only had one registry - Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742926 Thu, 01 Jun 2017 22:48:08 +0000 youboots 2742926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd check out Baby List. Honestly I think 4 is a bit much- even for a wedding. Could you ask your close family (MIL or Mom or siblings) to cover your cloth diapers without registering? Or buy your own bedding? </p> <p>I did 2- Target and Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-registries-dodid-you-have#post-2742921 Thu, 01 Jun 2017 22:18:42 +0000 FancyGem 2742921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I'm not sure if this is in the correct section. lol<br /> I would only like to have 3 registries: a local cloth diaper store, a local boutique (which will have his bedding), and BBB. About half guests are local and half are from out of town. None of those stores are available in the area with the out of town guests. I would have to add either BRU, Walmart, or Target. This would make me have 4 registries. I think it's too many. What do you think? </p>
