Best Registries

I LOVE Amazon's registry! My favorite part is that they allow you to set a "contribute" amount, so any item over that amount can be contributed towards instead of outright bought. For example, I set my contribute option at $80. Someone can contribute $50 toward the $269 Roomba I want since it's over $80. That's my favorite part. It makes me feel less guilty about

I am inviting a lot of elderly guests, so for them, I've set up a registry at Belk as well. That one just has my basics like towels, bedding, etc. I wanted to make sure I had a physical store option for those who weren't able to navigate the online one.

Then I have another one, but it's untraditional. I'm using the Honeymoon Wishes registry through Carnival Cruiselines. This one lets guests buy experiences for our cruise — a beach cabana rental, snorkeling adventure, trip to the gardens, or even drinks by the pool. I don't expect anyone to spend much here, but I thought it was a cool option to have.
