The Ultimate Guide on Registration

Oh, the possibilities!

Your wedding’s on the way, and now it’s finally time to create a registry for your guests!  Creating a memorable wedding registry can be one of the best parts about getting married! Here’s a quick guide and simple list to make the most out of your wedding registry with the least amount of stress:

– Register at a place that’s available for all guests
Understand that not everyone who will send you a gift will live close to you. Keep your long-distance relatives and friends in mind. Choose a store chain to register with that is big enough for them to get to locally, or has an easy to use online registry search.

– Encourage guests to pool their money
If you have several expensive items on your registry, then it makes sense to ask people to pool their money together.  If you need a new or expensive item or want some extra cash for your honeymoon, it’s much easier for everyone to split the cost!

– Minimize your registry
Keep it simple and only put the things you really want, so you won’t end up with assorted items that gather dust and take up space in your future garage. It’s better to register for fewer things that you really want than to have pages and pages of possible gifts for people to sift through when they print your registry.

– Be prepared to return duplicate gifts
If an gift you receive is undesirable, make sure you schedule a day to go around and return things for cash, or store credit whenever possible. If possible, keep the gift giver in the dark about it, they gave the gift out of their love for you, and it’s better not to embarrass them or make them angry over returning a gift.

Above all, remember that registering for practical items will serve you best. The intent behind wedding gifts is that in a way, they help give the new couple the foundation of their future home together. If you register for things that will not help you build your new home into a happy place, then both you and your guests will miss out on this opportunity.
