Do you think there will be a shower thrown for you? If so, I would register a couple of months before that. And I would think that 6 months is not too early - you can always change/update your registry online if items do change. Personally, I think BB&B is the best place to register. People can buy with coupons and, if it's a duplicate or you change your mind, you can return and you'll get the full price worth in in-store credit bc they don't give out gift receipts. Plus they have a HUGE selection and a Registry Dept. and rep to help you. (You can get Lenox, Waterford, etc. there as well.) Good luck and have fun!

My mom's next door neighbor/ family friend who we are all very close to has already told me she's throwing me a bridal sshower. BBB is a definite place we'll be registering. 4951
