I just got engaged a few weeks ago and am so excited! The planning process has started and we've booked the venues. Right now I am researching places to register and am considering JCPenney (http://www.jcpenney.com/products/wedding-registry.jsp). They have a lot of brands at reasonable prices and also carry furniture which I am interested in. Has anyone else registered there?

Thanks for all the ideas! Yea I have heard of people registering at Lowe's but I just dont need home improvement things yet (as we dont even know where we are living). I also want to make sure the place has a generous return policy like JCP since there will likely be things we dont need.

Target is a common place to register with a good return policy. We are registered there as well as Amazon.com.

I've heard the opposite, but it is a very common place to register. Someone told me they had to exchange the item they wanted to return with something from the same department. :shrug: Don't know if the rules are the same now.

most of the stores listed are the main ones i've seen done for registries. Maybe I overlooked it, but another favorite is registering at Pottery Barn. Dunno if you need to be local (if there's even a local one) or if you can do it online...

I think it's called Pottery barn, anyway

I'd register here:
US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (http://www.moneyfactory.gov/)

Of course, given the state of the economy, maybe this would be a better choice:
Springfield Armory (http://www.springfield-armory.com/)

Yeah, I have actually heard the opposite about Target too, (that they were not accomodating with returns). I know with JCP they let you return anything within a whole year, which isn't always the case with other stores.

I know this will be deep-sixed but maybe it would be nice to NOT ASK for anything and just enjoy the people around you? We're in a recession. People don't have a lot of extra money, some don't have jobs. Just a thought.

Don't worry you will find one! I think I just lucked out b/c they said November wasn't as popular as October. Good luck!

I think the majority of guests WANT to know where a couple is registered. Even if she asks for no gifts, people will still bring stuff. Why not give them a little guidance? Besides, it's easy to put a good mix of inexpensive and more expensive items on a registry. :yay:

Yeah I agree Cowgirl - people will want to know what you want so letting them know where you're registered is usually appreciated.

i have to agree. You invite people to share in your happiness, not expecting gifts. For some, traveling to your wedding will be a big expense with no extra to spare.
