You can set it up online. Just go to the website of the store you would like and look up registries. There should be an easy step by step guide.
Ok thanks,, so i have to go to the store and do it??
You can register for specific gifts you would like to receive at a lot of different stores (babies r us, target, Kmart, Wal-Mart, Macy's, etc). You don't necessarily need one but it helps serve as a guide for what you do and do not need. For instance: say your mother in law already offered to buy you a travel system (carseat, stroller and carseat base). If you left that if you're registry that's a sign that you don't need one. Also, stores keep track of people buying from your registry so hopefully you don't end up with six bouncers and no crib!
You can also do it online
You register at places (target, babies r us, Walmart etc) of the items you would like for your baby so ppl know what to get you. It is very helpful for the big items (pack n play, stroller, crib etc) as those are the items you will pry be most picky on as far as style and brand. Also jumpers and other higher priced items. I never put specific clothes on mine other than making a point to show I want plain white onsies and diapers!
Not really, unless there is certain things you want to get at baby shower.
Its where u go to the store they givr you a scanner and you make a list of the things you want so people know what to get
