Through a series of decisions, attempts, and realizations, my husband-to-be and I ended up with too many registries. We wanted to narrow it down, but not all registry sites have easy ways to delete the list itself, just the items within it. In one instance, I just changed our names to initials so it wouldn't come up with a search and deleted all the items.
My real question...is it overkill to be registered at four stores? I was careful in my selection to include one Internet-only registry, two store & Internet registries, and one registry listed online but with store-only items. This is a nice balance for non-computer users as well as Internet junkies. But is four still too many? I can probably trim it down to three if we simply spread the word which china pattern we want. Does that kind of word-of-mouth sharing of information work?
Just so it's explained, each registry is not packed with items. On the contrary, each has about 12 to 20 items. I went so far as to review friends' registries to discover an average price per item and to calculate how much was spent total and based on what guest count at the actual wedding. My findings were interesting and helped us keep the list to those items in a reasonable price range and not too many "big ticket" items. After this extensive research, I wondered if there was an easier way for me to have found that out, is there?

I completely agree. You are fine. Four registries is not too many. Variety is so much better for your guests. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
