As the bridal shower draws nigh (look for your invite from Mom in mid-May) Jon and I realized that we had to at least decide where we wanted to register for gifts. Jon rallied hard for Newbury Comics (DVDs, CDs, and all the Dr. Who action figures we could ever desire) but I nixed that idea. I wanted to register at AC Moore crafts for a lifetime supply of yarn and craftiness, but Jon nearly toppled over in a coma of bordeom, so that was out.
Target is definitly on the list.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond is 99% on the list (Linen 'n Things being the alternative ... is there any actual difference between the two?).
The third option ..... yesterday I told Mom it would be Amazon.com (so we could ask for random items like a bocce ball set or Twister). But then last night on the way home from running errands, we drove by Lowes and Home Depot, and the idea of registering for power tools was quite attractive (to me, anyway).
Although I suppose we can just as easily register for power tools on Amazon.com. Heck, we could just register for everything on Amazon, but that would confuse Grandma, and we don't want to do that.
OK, I just convinced myself: Target, BBB, and Amazon.
That's it. The end. Although ... there is that pitcher from Crate and Barrel that I love (Rebes got one for a wedding gift from my mom!).
So, Mom, maybe you shouldn't commit the gift registry list to stone just yet ....

You can register for all kinds of random stuff through Target -- I'll bet they have a bocce ball set and Twister. I mean, we registered for a Wii!
Crate and Barrel is totally worth it...so pretty and tempting, but so nice to get stuff from! Plus you get 10% off after the wedding -- double bonus if you get gift cards. :)
The only drawback we found with registering on Amazon is that some people used it more as a suggestion list than an actual registry. For a few of the things on our registry, we got something similar, but not exactly what we wanted. And since they didn't buy it from Amazon, it never came off the registry, so we were in danger of getting duplicates, but we had the same problem at Linens N Things, so it wasn't that big of a deal. Just be aware that some people my not "get" how it works. (What exactly IS the difference between LNT and BBB?)
By the way, my favorite thing was checking our registry lists online so that I could see what we were getting :)
IMHO, the only difference (albiet a highly significant one) between LNT and BBB is BBB's liberal coupon-acceptance policy. BBB will accept multiple coupons, expired coupons, and LNT coupons, whereas LNT will not do any of those things and will give you lots of attitude if you try. Ergo, BBB = 20% savings for your guests and hopefully more and better presents for you as a result :)
I'd like to register for:
-a 52 inch HDTV
-a playstation 3
-Grand Theft Auto IV
but I don't think Jenny will approve.
Maybe I'll ask for a badger instead. They CAN be choosers, you know.
