My fiancé and I use it because he's a truck driver and since he's never home to shop for the baby, he downloaded the target registry app, pick an item or two off the registry each week and buys it. It's shipped directly to the house. This way you get to monitor what people buy for you and what you need to buy.
I applied at babies r us but I mean I am using it for my baby shower but my husband and I are also using it for us. I like it because I picked out everything we wanted and needed so my husband and I can also buy stuff off of our registry and buy the things that are on the list and it helps remind us what we wanted to get and other things we might have forgot that we needed. It just became really handy for us once we got it.
You can also do it online with alot of places. A baby shower is for you and baby. You invite friends and family to come (guys and girls if you want or just girls) they usually bring gifts which is what the registry is for. You have some cake and food or whatever and play games and what not.
This Is What I Need To Do Soon Before My Baby Shower.... Its Like You Can Go To Wal Mart, Babies R Us, Carters And Any Baby Store And Scan Any Items You Want And At Your Baby Shower Ppl Can Look At The Lists That You have When They Go Into Stores And Buy What You Picked.. So Its Like They Know Your Style And Know What You Want .
For a baby shower, I think? You can register where ever you like, or a couple places if you want. Target, babies r us, Walmart - where ever.
