Ask Carley: It's fine to have big-ticket items on registry

Q. Is it OK to register for a big-ticket item like a couch or a dining-room table?
A. Of course! You may have some family members who want to go in on something a little larger. Just don't have too many pricey items on your registry -- stick to one or two -- and also register for less expensive items to balance out options for friends and family.
The best part: If family and friends don't get you the big-ticket item, many stores give couples discounts if you purchase the remaining items on your registry.
