I think we used one on a vacuum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540971 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:31:34 +0000 catlady 1540971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this with Babies R Us and Amazon. At first, I chose which item went on which registry based on lowest price, so there ended up being more on the Amazon list. After people actually started making purchases though, it became clear that everyone was going to Babies R Us. I got complaints from relatives that my list was too short! So I ended up switching as many items as possible from the Amazon registry to the Babies R Us one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540906 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:09:49 +0000 mrs. 64 1540906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering about this myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540770 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1540770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If something was avail at both, I put it on the real store registry because a lot of people seemed to avoid ordering online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540767 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:47:38 +0000 Weagle 1540767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I overlapped. Both registries we basically the same. I knew people buying gifts would only look at one or the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540762 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:45:08 +0000 shinymama 1540762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: Exactly. I didn't want to deal with mailing things back, so BRU was my go to return spot. We received so many gifts that we used most of the return credits towards diapers for months. Win-win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540747 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:38:16 +0000 Mommy Finger 1540747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shinymama: I did the same but used BBB and Amazon. It was much easier to return to BBB. Not that Amazon is hard but I'm notoriously bad for mailing things back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540742 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:36:22 +0000 shinymama 1540742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered at Babies'r'us and Amazon, and intentionally overlapped some of the larger items. My theory was that if we received duplicates {assuming I missed deleting it}, I would return it to the brick and mortar store and use the credit towards something else from my registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540637 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:43:19 +0000 spaniellove 1540637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: I found a loophole for the shipping! Apparently if you go to a Bed Bath and Beyond and order from someone's Buy Buy Baby registry, it'll ship free because they don't carry it in their store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540632 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:42:12 +0000 spaniellove 1540632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did BBB and Amazon and found that it was easier to have the more obscure items on Amazon and the more traditional items on BBB. Basically I figured people would use a coupon whenever they could, especially for the more expensive things, so that all went on the BBB registry, and things like the diaper pail liner, stainless steel bowl, etc, went on the Amazon registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540628 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:41:30 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1540628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: We actually registered at three places for our wedding -- Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table and Macys. Almost everything was bought online at these stores and sent to our house. For my bridal shower I think most people bought at the stores (William Sonoma and Macys). </p> <p>My other issue is that most of the stuff on Amazon is free shipping while BBB is not free, even though almost everything is available online :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540620 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:37:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1540620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: which did they prefer for your wedding?</p> <p>I decided by which had the better price. :P For our wedding the online was more popular so I had more on the Amazon registry. And there were some overlap. I'd occasionally go on to check what was purchased...ahem..I mean manage the list. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-registries-how-to-pick-what-goes-on-each-registry#post-1540614 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:35:58 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1540614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've decided to have two registries -- one brick and mortar store (Buy Buy Baby) and Amazon. However, there is a lot of overlap between what they sell at both stores. How did you choose what to put on each registry? Or did you overlap and just delete as items were purchased off the other registry? I can't anticipate which registry people are going to prefer at this point.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
