You can do it as soon as you get engaged. People can start buying you things from it for birthday, Christmas etc.

we already have ours and we're not getting married till april..but we had originally planned our wedding for this oct..but for some reasons we had to push it back..so i'm thinking about 5 or 6 months? but if your having showers just have them done before the shower invites go out so people know where you are registered.

You want to do it about a month or two before whoever will be throwing you your bridal shower. The sooner the better though. I started mine already, and I won't be getting married for another year.

It doesn't matter, but you should have the entire thing in place, prior to sending out the invitations.

i think as soon as you set the date. becasue if you get engaged and fdon't get married for 2 years by the time you have your wedding shower most of the stuff on it won't be avialable any more and they will have different stuff that you might want more.GOOD LUCK!

We did ours 5 months ahead. I think you can do it whenever, after you get engaged.

Well in advance of sending any invitations, and of any parties. Some guests like to start early, so they can get what they want to buy, before the list gets too picked over.

Create as soon as you've let everyone know you're engaged. Some people like to buy early.
