Registries

My aunt is asking where we are registered to include in our shower invites. We are registering at buy buy baby, amazon and pottery barn kids...but our pbk registry is literally like less than 10 things (mostly bedding and a few other nursery things) would you include this on the invite or leave it off?  I dont know what to do because I would love to receive some of the bedding as a gift, but with only 10 things it seems kind of silly.....

    Personally I think an invitation with info re: 3 registries is a bit much.

    If you don't include it, how will people know to buy from it =)  Put it on the invite. No harm done.

    why are 3 registries too many, or pushing it?

     

    I'm wondering the answer to this as well

    I don't three is excessive although I've never gotten an invite with more than 3.  2-3 places are the norm with my circle of friends/family.

    I personally have two, but I don't think three is too many either

    I think I'll just keep 2 and add the 10 things from pottery barn to the "universal registry" part of my amazon registry... (if anyone doesn't know what this is, it's pretty cool.. look into it!) and then I can leave the pbk one off altogether.

    I'm registered the same three places, and included them all. 

    The reason that I didn't do this is that Amazon's registry is sort of weird for non-Amazon products.  My parents are divorced, so I create a registry at Christmas time every year so that they don't have to actually talk to avoid duplicates (tacky, yes, but honestly it saves me headaches listening to both of them).  Anyway, I did the universal registry this past Christmas and got a ton of duplicates, but none of them items were shown as being purchased.  I looked into it more, and for non-Amazon items, once the person clicks through to the secondary site (PBK in your case), Amazon doesn't know that they actually purchased it or not.  For items to actually come off, the guest has to remember to go back to Amazon, click on the registry listing, indicate that they purchased it elsewhere, receive an email from Amazon, and then they have to click on the link to confirm that you really brought it.  It's sort of a giant pain.
