Fill our home with crap, please
My mother is throwing us an engagement party in April, which we believe is just a ploy to get us to set up a wedding registry even though the wedding is not until June of next year. So, this Sunday, we will be driving out to Long Island and venturing into registry territory.
While Bed, Bath, & Beyond seems to offer a helpful list of recommended items on their webpage, Crate and Barrel's seems to go *justalittle* overboard. Their list includes:
- a muffin pan AND a mini-muffin pan
- a regular wok AND an electric wok
- bathroom weight scale (raise your hand if you'd buy someone a scale as an engagement/shower/wedding gift)
- sectional sofa
- bedside carafe
This should be fascinating.

I believe that Americans invented the wedding registry and they do it with great flair
I did one just over seven years ago. It took me 2 days and in the end only about 3 people actually used it
You can never have too many muffin pans PR :)

There's even a book about it: One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding. [http://tinyurl.com/7jog7v]
In order to justify the cost of muffin pans and an asparagus steamer from Crate & Barrel, we'd have to have muffins and asparagus for dinner every day ...

Well I find that wedding registries can be helpful as long as your registering for stuff you really need, and not just because you have to fill it up. I mean, people are going to give you something anyway, might as well help them out. I made my wedding registry on myregistry.com and what I like about online registries is that I can add anything from wherever I want, so im not stuck with limited choices, woks, and muffin pans- god knows I dont need those.
