So, I am a stalker...

... a registry stalker that is...

I don't know what it is about having a registry that makes me want to look at it all the time, but goodness gracious it is fun.

It was even more fun today because guess what guys...

... OUR FIRST GIFT WAS PURCHASED!!!

We will soon be the proud owners of a rolling pin and baking sheets! :) :) :)

OMG... I am so excited!

Is that weird?

Take care until next time,

Our experience with registering... take 3

It was so much fun reading your guys thoughts on our registering experience.

Some of you guessed that we just went ahead and finished our registering online.

Those who guessed that are HALF right.

Basically, we decided to give the finger to Bed, Bath and Beyond COMPLETELY and we started a wedding registry with none other than...



Let me tell you... BEST experience ever. No pushy saleswomen. No walking aimlessly around a store. AND the BEST part of all... there are TONS of ratings on ALL of the products!!! That way, we know going into whether our coffee pot is gonna suck or not! Seriously, best invention ever.

Also, the prices on Amazon are already discounted and most items over $25 have FREE shipping. Now, how does BB&B even compare to THAT!?

I know there are many people that do not feel comfortable making purchases online, so we are still having our registry at Crate and Barrel for those who feel that way, but seriously... if you haven't registered yet... DEFINITELY consider Amazon.

Example of why Amazon kicks booty:
Towels are difficult to shop for online because you want to make sure that the color and texture is just to your liking. I found GREAT Tommy Bahama Towels at BB&B that were $16.99 a piece. I went onto Amazon when we got home and searched for the very specific type of towel. Not only did I find them, but they were over $5 cheaper!!!!

So, there is just a little insight for you... definitely check it out! You will LOVE it!!!

Our experience with registering... take 2

After our bad experience with registering previously, myMr and I put on a brave face and marched into Bed, Bath and Beyond to tackle registering once again...


... OH MY GODDDDDDDD...

It

Was

NO

FUN.

It started with a lady leading us to this back room where we had to fill out paperwork. No biggie. Then the lady starting going off about how about how they are going to start giving us free stuff before we even put one item on our list. What she failed to mention was the the "free stuff" was nothing more than brochures on their products. Annoying, yet still, no biggie.

Then, she said that she was going to walk with us around the store so that she could explain why we needed stuff.... wait, what?! Why we need STUFF?! We don't need STUFF. We needed bath towels, linens, and other items that were very specific. We didn't need her to walk us around the store and tell us why we NEED items that we truly don't need. Still, no biggie... or so I thought.

Let me tell you, this was the MOST awkward experience ever. First she takes us to flatware. She proceeded to tell us every detail of the flatware... then she says "Which one do you want?" Uhm... lady... we already chose our flatware when we registered at Crate and Barrel, and even if we didn't, I wouldn't want to be put on the spot to choose it with you there. She gave us the same tour and speech at the china, appliances (this was where it was the worst), stemware, linens, pots and pans, etc.

No joke, she walked us through the ENTIRE store. She was really nice, but she just wasn't getting the hint that we wanted to do our own thing the whole time. I mean, she even felt the need to show us where the mirrors were and why we needed a mirror.

So, TWO friggin hours later, she FINALLY left us alone.

By that point, we were exhausted, only had two items on our registry (two cast iron skillets), and we wanted to leave...

... So we did...

... We left with NO towels and other linens on our list (which is why we went there in the first place)...


The lady was SUPER nice, so we just didn't have the heart to tell her to go away, but the whole time we just felt like they were trying to sell stuff to us. It wasn't the way I wanted to feel when registering.

So, we came up with our own solution to our registering troubles. Let me tell you, I could not be happier with our decision!

What did we decide you ask? Stay tuned for tomorrows post to find out...


I know, I am such a tease ;)

What to look for this week:

Happy Monday everyone. I hope this blog finds you all nice and relaxed after the weekend. I just wanted to give you all a little update with what to expect to see this week. It should be fun!

- Junior Bridesmaid Gifts. I thought this would be a major challenge, but I think I still remember what it is like to be 13.

- Napkins! You guys don't realize how excited I am for this part. Weird, I know.

- Toasting Glasses. We ordered ours FOREVER ago, and I never shared them with you.

- RSVP card organizer. Random, yes I know; but, I am in <3 with this thing. Plus, I am saving the invites for next week! ;)

There may be a few other goodies thrown in, but you can definitely expect to see these babies this week.

Take care until next time,

P.S. We finally registered and it was a lot more difficult than I had anticipated. There will be a story about that later as well.

Crate and Barrel Registry

Does anyone have any idea what is up with the Crate and Barrel Registry? It will only let me register if my wedding date is from now until April 7, 2009. I am sorry but 100% of couples that register, register more in advance than 11 days before their wedding!! What the heck!?

Take care until next time,
