Hi WW! FI and I are getting to the fun part of registering for gifts and are trying to decide where to register. He wants to do BBB because "everyone does it" but I have been wanting to do something different, like a Macy's or Bloomingdale's or something. Many of the places have the same stuff, so I'm not sure if it would be a big deal?
Something I notice about BBB is they always seem to have stuff out of stock - not the weird one-off bamboo toothbrush holder, but normal stuff like certain colors of towels, plates, etc. Every BBB registry I've seen has had this: the couple will register for three different colors of Fiesta Ware or something and one color is out of stock the whole time. I am planning to ask for individual plates rather than place settings (I already have mugs, they're so unnecessary) and BBB already has one of the patterns I like out of stock.
I also feel a little biased because I like department stores like Macy's and JCP and feel like I personally would rather shop there (including after the wedding).
Am I crazy? How did y'all pick?
