Should I Overlap on my Registries?

CameroonKateCameroonKate member

I am currently working on my registries and have a dilemma.  I have registered at BRU, but  a lot of our family does not live near a BRU.  I have been asked to register at Target as well, because they are located near family members and are more convenient to shop. Here is my question do I overlap items on both registries? I am not sure if this is a No, No. 

Thanks!

    I just did mine, and I am registered at 2 different places. But, I put different things on each registry. I don't want to have to deal with returning duplicates, especially since I've heard BRU is a pain in the ass with their return policy.

    just be ready to get two of some things.  You may have to take some things back if that happens, so be sure of return/exchange policies.

    I am but mostly for things that I dont mind getting extras of...sheets, bottles, bath stuff, etc. I am also going to register for a few of the bigger things at both...swing and bouncer. You can always return with receipt for store credit if you need to.?

    Both BRU and Target have crappy return policies. If you don't get a receipt with either of the duplicates, it may become a huge headache to return them. If more people have access to Target, I would put more items you need in that registry.

    Same thing here.  I am registered at both BRU and Target since the families are all much closer to Target than BRU.

     I registered for dupe items such as bottles, hooded bath towels, crib sheets, onesies, washclothes, hangers, pacifiers, etc at both places.

    The big things I tried to just stick to Target, but threw a couple on BRU just in case groups of my friends (who live in the city and close to BRU) want to go in on something.

    I registered at both BRU and Target and duplicated a lot of things. ?I figured I would just keep an eye on the registries and if I see something bought on one I'll mark it as bought on the other so I don't get too many duplicates. ?It might be a pain in the butt, but I'm not sure where more people will shop since our friends and family are all spread out.

    I registered at both Babies R Us and Amazon.com (a lot of my family and friends live out of town and the free shipping over $25 is a real plus for shipping gifts).  We definitely have duplicates.  It depends on how many people you plan on having at your shower or family members that plan on giving you a gift and the number of items you have registered.  

    Like someone said earlier, keep a close tab on the things that people purchase and you can always edit your registeries online and delete certain items. Or if you don't have a lot of big ticket items registered and you know that your closest people (parents, best friends) will buy you something expensive or that a bunch of people at work are chipping in on a big ticket item, you can always leave both on the registry and return it at either Target or Babies R Us and get store credit.  

    Hope this helps!
