Target's registry was a pain. We'd scan things and when we'd get home to check it online about 30% of things would be missing or the quantities would be off. Guests told us they would purchase us gifts but the registry didn't update resulting in lots of multiples in gifts. It was nice we could use the registry in lieu of gift receipts
Target's constant rotating supply of inventory made maintaining our registry a pain. Family and Friends complained that they couldn't purchase anything off our registry because it was either out of stock or limited availability. Our registries at Kohls and William's Sonoma were much better about this.
Target has everything! Registries are easy to make and easy to print. If you get a gift without a receipt, you can print your gift log at the store and you get credit for the price that was paid, not just the lowest price most other places would offer. They also send you a 10% coupon for anything left on your registry after your wedding. The only thing I didn't like was there were a few things on the registry that I could see online, but not in the store and vice versa. And it wasn't that they were only available for purchase online or in the store.
These people are pretty incompetent. We had no problem registering, but immediately after wards we had problems. There were things on the registry we didn't scan, there were 30 items missing we did scan. They couldn't tell me when or if the problems would ever be fixed. We canceled everything with them except gift cards. we then went back with those to purchase 1 item we really wanted and within those 2 months it was no longer being carried by the stores.
I registered at Target because there is always one nearby and I knew it would make it easy for my guests, but honestly, they weren't that great. We registered at about 5 places and Target gave us the worst deals on everything. Plus they never have any sales. If I were to do it again, I would register at Target only for my wedding showers, with just small gifts. Or else I would just not register at Target and go with Bed Bath and Beyond instead. They have better selection.
We had problem upon problem with our registry. Many items were purchased but not marked off the registry so that we ended up with many of the same item. Without a receipt, Target would not let us return more than 3 of the items in one year! Plus, if the item had ever been on sale, we got only the discounted price back on the few items we were allowed to return. We're not sure that any other retail establishments would be any better than this though. We recommend foregoing registering for gifts entirely. If we had it to do over again, we would ask people to just invest cash in our get out of debt or new house fund. We have also heard of people asking for gift cards for restaurants. One couple I knew never paid for a meal the entire first year of their marriage because of all the gift cards to restaurants they received!
when i first started i thought it was great , alot of things where on line only and not in store selection and versatility was good, when i tried returning things i had a problem with items over a certain dollar amount with no receipt. i wont shop there again. i should have gone to kohls, i love kohls.
HORRIBLE!!! I am a huge fan or Target, but do not register there!!! Their return policy is awful! You only have a certain amount of time and if you don't have a gift receipt you're hosed. You can only return up to a certain amount with a Drivers Licens a year if you don't have the receipt. I know we didn't get gift receipts for a lot of stuff we got. People don't always buy off your registry and in our case the registry didn't always show it was bough so we got multiple items of something. They are very hard to work with.
I probably should have not registered here because not many people bought stuff off my registry. Of what was purchased, I'd received duplicates and even though at the time I did not have a receipt, they let me have store credit for the items. However, I got one gift that was definitely from Target but not on our registry but because it was over $35, they would not give me anything (Store credit, etc.), so I am stuck with it.
We were very happy with our invitations. The rating we have given Target is due to the printing issues we had. The printer didn't like all of the smaller but thick pieces of paper. But I think that any time you print your own invitations that is a possibility. It just meant a lot of time spent feeding paper only a few sheets at a time into the printer. Otherwise, we were very happy with the invitations for the price. I do wish that Target would sell paper that matches - we had a hard time finding paper to print our maps on. We needed sheets bigger than the small sheets they do sell, and couldn't find anything so ended up with something that didn't quite match.
This is a good choice for a couple like us who doesn't want to spend a lot of their budget on paper that will in all probability just be thrown away.
