Tips on building the perfect wedding registry
Submitted by Daingerfield1 on
A great registry is the first step to planning your happily ever after. As you make your way to the “I Do’s,” it’s also a time to plan for your new lives together. From hosting your first holiday dinner to lazy Sundays on the couch, making your house a home starts with building a great registry. Here are some additional tips to get you started:
• Visit a Store: Before you take the trip down the aisle, take a trip down the aisle of the store where you are registered. Missed something the first time around? No problem. Many stores make the process convenient, allowing you to update the registry at any point, both in-store and online. Be sure to get up close and personal with the items that go on your registry. Touch the towels, hold the cookware -- in fact, most brides make multiple visits to a store and the website.
• Keep it Convenient: Where you register is important. Ask friends, family and co-workers about their registry experiences. Start a wedding registry as soon as you say “yes.” That way, guests have options for engagement gifts and showers.
• Ask the Experts: It’s easy to get overwhelmed when registering. Need help deciding between ceramic or stainless steel cookware? Don’t forget to ask the registry expert. From the time a couple starts the registry process, until they’ve walked down the aisle, dedicated registry consultants can help you be better informed about your choices and make the process fun and stress-free.
• Dream Big, Register Bigger: Register for at least twice as many gifts as the number of guests at the wedding. Friends and family will rely on the registry for special events leading up to the wedding, including engagement parties, showers and holidays.
