Registering at more than 1 place?

Stef33 · October 2011

Is it tacky to register at more than one place? We didn't find furniture that we love at the store where we did most of our registering so we found it at another store. Now I am finding things I love at other places and am thinking of doing an additional registry but do you think that's kind of tacky? Does anybody else have more then one registry? And are you putting furniture on it?

I have two. Mainly because there were certain things I wanted from BRU, but there were a lot of things that were just cheaper at walmart for the same brand.

I think any more than two is in excess, especially if you're just copy-pasting items.

We do have furniture on ours - but mainly because my mom wants to buy the crib & we wanted people to see what we were interested in for the nursery. We won't be heartbroken if no one buys furniture, though.

I haven't started my registry yet but I plan to register at BRU and Target. I was only going with BRU but things are cheeper at Target then BRU so considering I'm having 2 I want options.

I tend to ignore rules of tacky v. not. . . do what you feel like.

I'm registering @ two for sure. One is a local store (only two in the area) and it's a little pricey. The other is Babies-R-Us. They have more stuff and are all over the place for my family and friends that live all over the US. I'm trying not to duplicate too many items though. Actually if I'm being honest I online registered @ Walmart and Target using a code name as well-- that I don't intend to share w/ others and did for possible coupons and to have price compare list for me to use.

I am/did put big tickets on my registry, but mostly because we'll get money off anything we purchase off the list after my shower is completed. I did make it clear to my mother and a couple of the people though that I did not actually expect anyone to buy me those things.

If you are going to buy the stuff anyway, DEFINITELY create a registry and put it on there. Most places like Target, BRU give you a 10% registry completion coupon to help you buy all the stuff left on your registry. It's totally worth it even if you don't "advertise" to people that you are registered as those places.

Also, it is always nice to have a wide variety of options for people to pick from. Someone might not have a BRU close to them and would prefer to shop at a Target or other location.

For my first child, I registered at Target (because I knew some people would only want to shop in a store), but then I also registered at Amazon, because Target didn't have a lot of things I wanted. I don't think it's tacky, but rather makes it more convenient because people have a choice of where to shop.

This is another reason we did. For me, it's a 45 minute drive to the closest BRU, but walmart is 5 minutes. For others, BRU is right around the corner whereas walmart might be 20 minutes.

I have two registries. I do not have duplicate items on them though. (That seems to be a pain in the butt.)

I don't think it is tacky as I am trying to give my guests an option (maybe they don't like one of the stores) and also trying to make sure that everyone is within close driving distance to at least one of the stores.

I did not put furniture on the list because my parents were generous to purchase it for us. If they would not have I may have registered for the furniture items as my husband's aunts often like to go in together on a large gift.

We registered at 3 stores. I love BRU and wanted a registry there, but we dont' have one locally, so we added 2 local stores for our friends and family.

We did not register for furniture,w e bought it ourselves. We had 2 items over $100 on our registry, our swing at $115 and our breast pump,which I only registered for to use the completion coupon.

I'm reigstered at BRU and Target. We have furniture on our BRU registry, but we intend to buy it ourselves. However, IIRC, BRU gives rewards points for items purchased off your registry as well as items purchased by you with your rewards card. I'm hoping maybe to double up on points. If it doesn't work that way then oh well but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I registered at BRU, Target and Walmart. Some of the items are the same because it might be cheaper at one of the places. If I get two of the same item, I will just exchange it for something else on my registry. Believe it or not, BRU is actually cheaper than Target on alot of the items.

AugustSkye · October 2011

i'm registered at 3! lol.

wal-mart, for the practical folks.

BRU because they gave me a ten-dollar gift card for registering there (: none of my family will drive that far anyway,

and the local pharmacy for the last-minute shoppers.

so i have all the bases covered, and i'm not worried about being tacky, everyone coming to my shower already knows my quirks! lol

We have two registries, Target and BRU. Target has lower prices but they don't have everything we want. I also think more registries give people more options, and more of a selection.

jmLink · October 2011

It's not tacky at all. I think your guests would like having different options. I was originally registered at 3: BRU, Amazon, and Target, but I deleted my Target registry because I didn't have enough stuff on there and I hear their return policy is awful. I also didn't like the way their registry system works.

I'm going to register at Target and Pottery Barn. I tend to believe 2 is ok, but more than two can look a little greedy.

girley75 · October 2011

I am registered at Target, BRU, and Amazon.. I don't understand why it is greedy to be registered at more than 2 places. If anything, it's so that you're guests can have more options, and it is more convenient for them. It's not like they are supposed to buy me an item from each place... I was actually questioning registering at Amazon (because guests would have to order online) but a friend said she was so glad I was registered there because she has the Amazon Prime.

I don't think it's tacky to register at more than 1 place, of course, I'm biased since I'm registering at both Target and Babies R Us. I found that the prices are much more reasonable at Target and for us, it's more convenient to shop there. We chose Babies R Us too because of the selection they have.....
