We also did a wedding registry (online at Bed Bath and Beyond) and got ourselves a nice dish pattern and so forth. One relative decided that she could find a better price on some of the bits elsewhere, causing us to ultimately end up with uneven numbers of side plates. Could be worse, but not really a big deal.

Too late to help you now, I'm sure, but when you have a registry with BB&B, they'll give you cash back on any returns for items they stock, regardless of whether or not it was on your registry, or purchased from them.

It's very handy, when you have to travel across the country to your own wedding. We took a number of items back to BB&B (even the stuff we wanted) -- with the intent to repurchase them on our return home, so that we wouldn't have to pack them in luggage.
