100% Registered!

It is official. We are 100% registered. We are kind of registered at 4 places total. As annoyed as I was (still am) with Target’s registry and their awful website I had to keep our casual plated and bowls on there since Target was the only place that had big enough bowls for Kyle’s taste.  I actually deleted the registry and then had to recreate it, but their web site was so jacked up it took me 6 tries to set it up.  Seriously Target, get it together.

I had a short day since I worked a client BBQ earlier this week and since “register at Bed Bath and Beyond” has been on my to do list for WEEKS I decided to just go and knock it out.  I had started the registry online but I needed to go in person to feel the towels and sheets (which ahem we desperately need and want) and look for dishes.  I figured I would be in and out REAL fast but that scanner thing out smarted me.  Then I went at lunch today to “reactivate” our Target registry which took all of 15 minutes.  And with that … we’re registered!

I like where we’re registered (with the exception of horrible awful Target) and I like that all 4 places have 4 different price points. I have been in and invited to many-a-weddings where they are only registered at 1 place and nothing is under $80 and many of those weddings I was a full fledged out of college broke girl.  Therefore, I did not want to do that to anyone who was invited to my wedding.  So you can use your big blue 25% off coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond or you can go to Anthropologie or Crate and Barrel and spend a little more. or you can hit up Target for a cute and cheap casual plates.  And of course, all gifts will be loved and appreciated.

We are registered at:  Bed Bath & Beyond, Crate & Barrel,  myregistry.com (for Anthropologie!!), and Target.  If you go to the “where we’re registered” tab you can be directed to any of those registries directly!

…..Another thing to check off the knot.com “to do” list.

Registering for gifts. (round one)

I have an unhealthy obsession with Crate and Barrell.  So I knew that was one of the places I wanted to register.  A month or so back I saw an add for their registering "party" and wanted to go.  ...More like had to go.  Then I learned that it was at 9:00 AM on the 1st Sunday of each month. i had to ask kyle to wake up at 8:00 to go something we could do in the afternoon. Lucky for me they have breakfast so I was able to tell Kyle that there would be waffles. 

But of course... Kyle is an awesome husband to be and told me that he would do it since it was important to me.  I did mention the breakfast after he agreed and he smiled at the thought of breakfast.  However, he somehow thought that breakfast = an elaborate sit down feast.  I think he was disappointed.

The whole experience was minorly overwhelming to say the least.  I am going to have to add to the registry from the comfort of my own bed because I know we missed A LOT.  Kyle handled the pots and pans.  I handled the fun things.  Kyle registered for 7 things that will be coming off the list (ex: a potted plant and an olive pick).  We will keep his "I Love Bacon" cookbook and his cookbook for men on there.  But his decorative boat, yeah that is going too.

You can check out our registry on the Crate and Barrell site.  Searching for Barbara Vines or Kyle Shanahan and feel free to buy us pretty things for our new life.
