Adventures in Registering!

I've heard from many former brides that registering is a pain... but how can it be a pain to pick out all the things you want?  It's like a Christmas List times 100!

Jason and I had a basic idea of what we wanted, so we had gone out a couple months ago to figure out which design of plates, glasses, silverware, etc... we wanted and from where.  We thought we had it all planned out, so it would just be a quick afternoon of picking out what we wanted.

Ready to Register!

So a couple weeks ago, Jason and I set out to start our Registries!  We started out at Crate and Barrel. 

We didn't register for much here, but we did like the tableware here best.  We got our plates/bowls and silverware here.  They also have some cute accessories.  We figured we would be able to get most of the kitchen stuff cheaper at our next two places, but still wanted to get some unique stuff here.  We started out journey around 10 or 11 am.  We were excited to go!

So excited to use the scanny-thing!

It was then time for a much needed food break at QT (roller grills are AMAZING!!!)

Then went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  I LOVE their supply of totally random kitchen accessories!  There were so many "Now why didn't I think of that?" moments here.  Plus, they have Tervis's... or is it Tervi?  Or Tervises?  Whatever they are, they're AMAZING!  Jason contributed here by adding a popcorn machine to the registry!

Finally, we hit up Target.  By the time we got to Target, we were already exhausted.  But we pushed through anyway.  We couldn't find the Kitchen Utensil's aisle there.  Seriously?  Shouldn't it be with the other kitchen stuff?  (We found it last week... between the shampoo/hair aisle and the cleaning supplies aisle)

Picking the stuff you want should be fun, but it was super-tiring.  Afterward, all I wanted was a nap!

I ended up having to go back (on my own) and add some of the stuff we forgot.  I'm kinda bummed it wasn't as much fun as I had thought.

My advice for future brides: don't try to do it all in one day.  By the time we got to Target, all we wanted to do was leave.  I was much more productive at the 1st store than the 3rd.

Now to continue to update them online!
