How many gifts should we have on our registry?

Becky Conrad: How many gifts should we have on our registry?
Our current guest list is for 170 guests. We only have 100 gifts on our list. Is that enough? How many gifts should we put on our registry? We want everyone to have a good, affordable selection, but we don’t want to seem greedy, either. What is the proper etiquette for this? Thanks!

IT IS AN AWESOME THING THAT YOU HAVE A REGISTRY.. BUT THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THEY WON’T WANT TO GIVE YOU A DUPLICATE GIFT.. THERE REALLY IS NOT ETIQUETTE FOR THE AMOUNT YOU PUT.. IF YOU WANT MORE THAN PUT MORE.. IF NOT THEN DON’T. THERE ARE 170 GUEST SO IF I WERE YOU I WOULD PUT AROUND 115-120 JUST TO GIVE EVERYONE A GOOD SELECTION.. GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATULATIONS

With 170 guests I’d be adding more to the registry. You arent going to be getting everything, and some (probably many), will be giving gifts as a couple instead of individual, but I’d still add more.

People will be using the registry for the shower (if they know of it), as well as for the wedding gifts. Or you can wait till after the shower to add more. It is frustrating as a guest to go to a registry and see that most things are already taken, (In that case they will be giving you things that you dont want/ need). make sure you put on it a big array of price ranges to suit everyone’s needs.
