Need registry opinions

So I was planning on registering at BBB because of the coupons and I feel like their return policy is better as well as selection... However the nearest BBB is about 40 minutes away while babies r us are everywhere... Not sure if I should continue to register at BBB and hope that people will go there or order online? I feel like people like using the coupons and as a guest myself, I tend to buy more/nicer gifts when I'm able to use a coupon... What do you ladies think!

Tia!

Re: Need registry opinions

Why not register at both places? Have some items at BBB and some at BRU.

I was thinking of doing this but I didn't know what to register for at each place...

I had this same debate. I wound up just registering at BRU for many reasons...
For those buying gifts: instead of coupons (which can only be used in stores) they do sales which apply in store and online. They also have many more locations.
For me: they offer a rewards program. For anything you buy (and swipe your rewards card) they give you point. For everything people buy off your registry they give you double points. I've already received four $5 off coupons to apply to any order, and I havent even had my shower yet.

I would go with BBRUS because its more convenient. And they do mail out coupons and sometimes have them in the Sunday flyer and they take bbb coupons.

I agree as well! We registered at both places for my first son. They both had different items and also liked the idea of coupons..

Re: Need registry opinions

I think both would be good, but annoying for you.

I was only registered at BBB and had my shower this weekend. A majority of my gifts, about 80%, came from BBB and the rest from random places like Target, BRU, and specialty stores.

So, I think if you can do both that would be ideal to give people more options and to have the best chance of getting stuff off your registry instead of items from random places.
