Can you register for too many things?

I am not really sure how much is too much. However, I would go back to update your registry as you get closer to your shower because some items may get discontinued.

If you have nothing... People will totally get it!

BeachDreams, that makes sense. I tried to register at C&B with things that have been a while and are not seasonal, but I will continue to check it.

Chelsie, that makes sense.. I hope my guests see it that way!

As long as you have various price ranges on your registry, which you said you do, I think you'll be all set! Most people will realize and understand you'll both be starting on your own for the first time and will need everything.

@K&D17, like I still have the same bed that i had since I was like 4... haha. I hope people get it...

I think that sounds like a fine amount! I have about 300 items on my BB&B registry. That is mostly because I went with the open stock dishware, so literally 60 of those items are plates and bowls. You can always add more as PPs have said. I think guests like to have plenty of options!

After years of working retail, I can't tell you how upset people get when shopping for someone's registry and there is 3 things on there because there isn't a selection, or everything is online only. Variety is the spice of life!

Okay, you guys are making me feel better! I think most of my registry is between $2 and $100, and then a few super expensive items.

Nope! The rule is 2 gifts per guest. So technically you should have about 370 to 375 gifts on your registry. Hope this helps!

If any thing that is not enough choices. I tried to picked 2 items per family invited so anyone who wanted to buy a gift had options.

55 at a shower is huge however. This should be the women who are closest to you - 55 is too many imo

@Erin, I see your point with the shower, but a huge chunk of these women are all women that I have grown up and are basically considered to be more of family rather than friends... Although, I'm sure I can cut down the list a little more, but I'm sure my mom and sister will end up inviting who they want from the wedding list.

I don't think that's remotely close to being "too much stuff". Keep in mind you also don't have to finalize the registry at any time. Go back after your shower and as your wedding gets closer and decide if you need to add more items based on how many were purchased after the shower.

I don't think you can. It's not like you expect to get them all but you do want items in everyone's price range.

No. It's very considerate, actually. This gives everyone something within their price point, so that the last-minute buyers will still have something to choose.

Don't expect to get it all, but the more you have, the kinder toward your guests. (I'm the bitch who didn't register at all- and I'm starting to feel guilty)

Echoing what pp have said that it's not too much. Also, most places give you a registry completion discount so even if no one gets it, if it's something you need, you can get a discount to buy it yourself after. We put a Roomba on ours knowing the only way we'd get it is maybe as a group gift (not likely)...we don't care, because we plan to save 10% and use our gift cards to buy it ourselves after the wedding.

Be careful that the items you register for aren't considered seasonal. My sister's list got a whole lot smaller, because she didn't realize that a lot of her items were going to be unavailable. (She registered about six months before her wedding.) just keep an eye on it and beef it up if necessary.

I think it's better to have too many items than too few. It's actually frustrating if a couple doesn't register for enough and not have a lot of options when you go to purchase your gift for them.

I'll second checking before your shower invites go out that nothing has been discontinued on both registries. I can't tell you how many non seasonal items have been discontinued on our C&B registry already.

You can also go back after your shower and add to your registry if you receive more gifts than you expected. You should also recheck your registry when your wedding invites go out to make sure you've replaced newly discontinued items.

Register for everything! A lot of stores will give you a percentage off of whatever hasn't been bought after the wedding.
