Where to Register for Your Wedding

Pottery Barn

In-store vs. online: The company offers exclusive in-store collections as well as online- and catalog-only products, so it’s best to register in one of the more than 200 stores and manage your registry at potterybarn.com.

Return policy: You can exchange gifts or return them for store credit.

Length of time the registry’s active: All registries close six months after the event date, but you can add as many items as you want to the registry during those six months.

Discount: You’ll get 10 percent off any items remaining on your registry or any other items you decide to add during the six months after your wedding.

Most popular items: Dinnerware, towels, and bedding.

Perks: The store offers Tuesday night registry workshops and private consultations to help you set up and manage your registry. You’ll also receive a welcome pack with a registry guide, announcement cards, and a registry checklist.
