I'd say 8-10 weeks before wedding time enough although if the store allows you could have your list picked to be ready for then. Have answered another posting today about disasters of wedding lists but do not think anything wrong with a wedding list in itself and no reason not to have one because you are marrying abroad. When lists came out like a lot of people I thought them a bit of a cheek. However, times have changed and choosing a gift for someones home more difficult. Years ago towel colours etc didn't matter but I don't know of anyone who wouldn't have towels to suit their bathroom. Also at one time (in UK anyway) double bedding was a popular choice for gifts but now with King, Queen beds etc without asking you can't take for granted. Also too every other week you could change your top cover with any colour under the sun. Now most people have 1 or 2 really special covers all co-ordinating. Think all reasons why it's good to have a list, whether just written down or in a store (but with stores you'll need to keep your fingers crossed it works out well) although I am sure most people will still very much appreciate the thought of any other gift given outwith their list.

I registered at Macy's- they give you cash back bonus! 5% back on anything everyone buys you. Plus they have very nice stuff and lots of different plans.. Like if you get 10 pieces of your china off the regestery, Macy's gives you a free set!

Check around for the best deal- like cash back and free stuff.
I though macy's was the best. But it depends on what you need.

Also bed bath and beyond- have a great chart to help you with gifts- even if you don't register with them. And theknot.com has a nice check list as well!

Register at one nicer place like Macy's, definitely at Target, consider something quirky like Lowe's or Home Depot. Ikea, Crate and Barrel, Bombay, Pier One and Williams-Somona for the up and coming young urban married couple.

Amazon also has a variety of gifts and one great registry.

I believe the more variety you offer your guests the more likely they are going to be able to afford something on it.

You can try The Bay if you're in Canada there have lots of great stuff and if you don't like anything they get you , you can bring it back and you get a 10% off on something you like or the money back !!
You can also try Bombay great things for your bedroom, living room and dinning room ..
