Only two people bought from my brick and morter store (BRU) everyone else bought stuff from Amazon. </p> <p>I do have to give props to BRU. I found the one near my house was horrendous but I went to one a little further away this weekend and the staff was super helpful. They even took back a book I had been given even though their register said they don't sell it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-146078 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:44:02 +0000 chopsuey 146078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at Buy buy baby and BRU </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-146077 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:44:02 +0000 chopsuey 146077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at Buy buy baby and BRU </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-146051 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:34:31 +0000 phdmommy 146051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used myregistry.com because you can register at for things at lots of different stores (including etsy and amazon!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-146043 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:31:13 +0000 Goldilocks1107 146043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had both Target and BRU - and almost everyone bought off my Target registry (only one bought off my BRU one). If I had to do it again, I wouldn't bother with BRU - the completion discount has a lot of exclusions (the exact same as the 20% off coupon you get every month if you're part of the rewards club).<br /> I did create an Amazon registry as well - no one bought anything off that one, but the prices are so much better that I'll be taking advantage of my completion discount and getting a lot of the "last minute essentials" from there.<br /> Also, beware the "online only" items at Target - I'm finding most of them don't qualify for their "free shipping on $50 or more", which also makes Amazon so much more awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145995 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:03:38 +0000 MamaMoose 145995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will probably to two. But not at such similar stores. We will do Target OR BRU, and then in addition will probably do pottery barn kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145988 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:59:38 +0000 heffalump 145988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We registered at both of those places. I think variety is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145941 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:24:52 +0000 aMohror 145941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Haha, I know right?! It seems when it comes to baby showers people just go crazy and get whatever THEY like! I've been to some that about 90% of the shower was clothes....Ahh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145930 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:17:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 145930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think having two registries is a good idea. Having a store closer to all (Target) may ensure that more people buy from your registry, especially for those that don't like to order online. But I also think that having another option, and another store/list (with the options that aren't available at Target), is also a great idea, too. </p> <p>Now if there was just a way to make sure folks ordered from your registry. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145929 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:17:09 +0000 babynumber1 145929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did two, at Target and BRU, also. I found that most people shopped at Target, and I had to do a lot of monitoring and updating the BRU one to avoid duplicates. In our area the Target and BRU are next door to each other, and we only had 2 people buy off that registry. If I had to do it over again, I would just do the Target one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145924 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:14:59 +0000 autumnlove 145924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two, one at Amazon for my web savvy friends and family and Babies R US for the last minute buyers and for the people who preferred buying in person.</p> <p>I think 2 is good! Anything more might be too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-two-registries#post-145919 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:11:38 +0000 aMohror 145919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking of registering at both Target and Babies R Us. Babies R Us has a bigger selections it seems but it out of the way for everyone to drive to. Should I just stick with Target since it's closer? </p> <p>Help! </p>
