Wedding Registry Freebies and Spreadsheet 2013

Quote from MchenryMole : Did you include your entire registry, the registry number, or only what they wanted you to add to the list?

I personally just put the minimum required stuff. For the most part it worked. From Bloomies I got the Julia Knight bowl (had to go to the store physically to pick it up) and the DVF coasters (mail).

The following I got by mail:
Anolon pan
Wilton heart dish
Emerilware 3 pc set (BB&B)
Henckels flatware storage (BB&B)
Knork forks
Sophie Conran salt/pepper shackers (BB&B)
Riedel polishing cloth

And I'm still waiting on several more. Basically I went all out on creating registries (my wedding is this summer).

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to add DVF stuff to my bloomies registry, and they have some home items but I am unable to add them to the registry, anyone have similiar problems? or any imput on this?

I did this around mid-January, so I'm unsure if the DVF items changed since then. I had to add around 20 pillows to get those coasters.

So this is possible to do each year????

Sur La Table has a gift registry gifts!

For the BBB gifts do you get the form from an actual BBB? I'm not finding them on their website.

Thanks!

Yes, I did. Not much of a hassle at the NYC one. I scanned a few (didn't get all), so PM me if you need them.

I'll be visiting BBB sometime this month and getting the forms uploaded.

The container store is offering a free portable tote bag when you create a registry in store with them.

See pic below for more info.

When I visited my local BBB they REFUSED to give out ANY forms. At my store they insisted I sit down with a bridal consultant and walk the store, even though I stated my fiance was deployed and we would be doing it all online. I was instructed when I add items online to the registry to call the consultant and she will fill out all the paperwork. I was not particularly happy.

I would contact Customer Service. If she fills the forms out she has your name, address and it's an identity theft issue to just give that out.

That is so awful. I had no issues with the BBB in my area (near Lincoln Center in NY - upper west side). In fact, the person behind the registry counter was some college student who had no interest in her job. Then again the BBB there is always bustling so I'm sure they're too busy to care. Or that New Yorkers generally don't have the time/patience to walk through an entire store to pick out registry items.

All of that said, my fiance did get the same exact push back when he visited his local BBB (not in NY).

I'll scan the ones I got and put them here.
