Registering for gifts! I mean seriously, how ridiculous is it that you get to run around with a gun pointing at any and all items you could ever possibly need/some you may even want. I have looked forward to my engagment since I was about 15, simply for the activity of registering for gifts. In my single years, I have thought about it often ("hmmm too bad I'm not getting married and can't just register for all this stuff I need") and planned for the day a target employee handed over the scanner.
Anyhow, sadly I must say registering wasn't as exciting as I hoped. It's an internal battle between registering for practical gifts or just scanning every item you think is cool. My argument is that no one is gonna buy me stuff off my registry anyhow... Cary thinks that people will buy stuff off the registry.
So we took a bet. We registered for 108 items (some of which are only available in store (sad, and it doesn't tell you this in the store)), and I say we'll get maybe 24 items (can openers and pizza stone), Cary says a confident minimum of 38. Loser has to do all returns (multiples or whatever)
We shall see....
(Oh and if this made you curious, we registered at target, I'm not gonna post a link because that is just tacky, but if you do look at our list... don't judge. Yes we do realize that I won't get the dyson vaccum cleaner and Cary won't get the dog snuggie... but I mean we had to have a little fun ;)

I'm in the process of registry creating too. It's fun but it's easy to get carried away for sure. Lovin' etsy for some home decor right now and definitely crate & Barrel! :) We went with myregistry.com but my fiance got the iphone barcode scanner app that was available and he added two cases of sauvignon blanc and an ipad after a visit to the Apple store. He's too much lol. Good luck with yours! What are you adding on it?
We have a Target one too (imported it onto the myregistry one though) and we added the Dyson to it. You should check out Target's vacuum options and also their green cookware! Really fun! :) We added a few gift cards from there in various denominations because hey ...they'll always come in handy! Yeahy Club Wedd!
