I know this is a first world problem, but...
FI and I currently have three registries for a total of maybe 150 gifts, including "multiples" (e.g. 10 open stock glasses = 10 gifts). I don't think we have "too much" on there by any means.
Here's my problem: we picked out our "fancy" dishes (Lenox, open stock), and they are now out of stock at BBB and BBB has no idea if or when they will be back in stock...for months now. I'm thinking of making a separate registry with Lenox (who has them) just for these dishes. I told FI about this and he thinks that 4 registries is too many, even if one or two of them only have a few items on them. We have a website through The Knot so I could add anything from anywhere on the Internet with the "add to knot" thing, but I thought guests might not see them if they weren't tied to a particular registry.
What should I do? These dishes are one of the items I'm really excited/hoping for, so I don't want to just "pick another pattern" like the BBB person said I should do
