Snooty to Register ONLY at Bloomingdales?

Hmm tough call. If the items are a ridculous price then yeah you need to register somewhere else as well.

Anyway these registeries are basically wish lists so if I can't afford a gift on there I would just get you a gift card but that's me. You know your guests. Do you think they could afford what's on your list?

Well since people are going to be spending money on a gift for you it would be good to consider their limitations. At least ensure that your registry has a good range of price limits and is accessible for everybody especially any OOT guests. But honestly they can give you cash or a gift card as well.

I have never been to Bloomingdales so i don't really have an opinion of "snootiness level" so i just won't say anything about that.

You can register wherever you want to register. Your guests can choose to get you something from your registry, buy you something else, or give you cash.

As long as you have gifts at different price levels, you'll be OK. If you decide to do another one, I would do Amazon over these other stores. You'll have a much wider selection of things, and they have the best customer service.

You can register wherever you like as Mrs. S says and if the guests you are expecting are the types that wouldn't blink at such a request, then it's no problem. However, don't be offended if some chose not to get you gifts from there and pick somewhere else.

I don't think it is snooty to register in only one place as long as you have a wide variety of price ranges. The only thing I would consider is if you have a lot of OOT guests. I have never seen a Bloomingdales in Colorado. So if you have a lot of OOT guests I would make sure they can buy online or add an additional store that is more universal.

CO might just be weird with the no Bloomingdales things too btw.

I think you're not going to have a lot of people buying from your registry. There aren't a ton of Bloomingdales around, AND they're extremely expensive. If you don't want to register elsewhere, then don't, but keep in mind that you'll probably end up having to buy the things you want after the wedding.

Agreed with everyone else. It's your registry with what you want! Have it be from wherever you want. If people don't want to buy something on it, they can give you cash- which I'm sure you won't be opposed to! We only have one at Macy's and while other people want to know why we don't have one at BBB or Kohls or Target or whatever too the answer is simple- Macy's has everything we need and we don't want to go through the time/energy/trouble of doing more than one registry. We're actually looking forward to the cash part more than anything! And we also are doing a honeymoon registry so people can always donate to that!

Cally, no it is not snotty to only register at Bloomingdales. However, it is inconsiderate. Everyone cannot shop at Bloomingdales. They are very expensive.

However, if your guests choose not to purchase from your registry, you may end up with a lot of gift cards are cash.

If you were one of my close friends & told me you really only needed certain things & therefore only registered at bloomies I'd say ok cool BUT I also know of girls who only registered at bloomies (or did bloomies & nordstroms) and there was lots of talk about it behind the brides back (being snooty & inconsiderate). You may want to find some options at BB&B or crate & barrel just to make your guests & FMIL happy. You can always return stuff later if you really don't love it & use the credit for cleaning stuff, Christmas storage, candles etc down the road.

I think it's fine. If you guys don't want stuff from other stores I think it's silly to register just for the hell of it. I personally hated registering and only did it because fh's fam insisted. The cheapest item I have is $50.

.......or you'll get random gifts you'll never use and will rant about how inconsiderate they were in buying a gift off registry that you didn't want and so the two inconsiderations would cancel each other out.

It's not snooty per se, but it is as has been said potentially inconsiderate. There's no Bloomingdale's near here. I'm not sure if there's even one in the entire state, and just looking online that would be a store I would not gift from unless you registered for some towels and no one else had snapped that up or 1 dinner plate was on your registry as an option.

I don't think my FH even knows what Bloomingdales is...

I agree with what folks are saying. Register where you want to. Those who don't want to buy can give you cash.

What is it about FMILs and their obsessions with where the registries are?

Remind me again...how is it any of her business?

If your guests find the items too pricey and want to give a gift, they will get you something else, or a giftcard or money in the amount they see fit.

I live in an area where BBB is the expensive registry! Do I think you'd be snooty not to have a second registry?... No. But you can probably expect a lot of people to buy you a gift elsewhere.
