Registries

We've been engaged for less than a month, we're planning a wedding that won't be for at least a year and a half, and people are already asking where we're registered!?



Does anyone have any opinions about registering on Amazon in addition to brick and mortar stores? Where else can I add a Wii, a Flip (sorry about the sound on the link) video camera and my dream rice cooker? Though we're totally excited to the Crate and Barrel registry party, especially since I found out their carrying the new GreenPan Frying Pans we've been waiting for! (oh, and the registry party gift is cute too).

Does Ikea have a registry? Would that be weird? Would anyone actually buy us furniture or should we just register for more high-end stuff at C&B?

Oh, and next weekend we're going with some close friends (who are getting married on the 4th of July) to a FREE LUNCH and wedding-venue-visit thing at the Hotel Boulderado, here in Boulder. It should be fun, but the dude was disappointed to point out when it is because he REALLY wanted to go to synagogue and this thing is at 1 PM on a Saturday. He doesn't like doing stuff most Saturdays, whereas I usually don't mind so much. Oops..... I probably should have waited for his email response instead of just hearing back from our friends (immediately) and then RSVPing for the 4 of us. Doh. We'd get free food at shul too, and it would be nice to go since I didn't make it by myself this past Saturday (because I was up reading until 4 AM).

Should I cancel our RSVP and just let our friends pig out on free gourmet buffet alone? It's not like either of us is actually interested in the venue, we're just milking the wedding industry for all it's worth!

So yeah, so far we're thinking C&B, Amazon and Macy's (even if we'd rather register at Bloomies for the same prices and better customer service, there are sadly none in Colorado).

APRIL UPDATE:


Grama bought us the rice cooker! WOOHOO! I’d never even heard of engagement presents before, now we have a rice cooker, a blender, a gorgeous salad bowl and a lovely address/birthday book.
