Wedding Tips #2 - Bridal & Wedding Gift Registries

Bridal & wedding gift registries are a big help to everyone, so don't hesitate to use them.

The gift giver knows you're receiving something you want and will really appreciate. Also, there's a high probability that you will have one less item to exchange or return.

 

 

All of us have friends and families scattered across the globe. Almost every major department store offers free bridal gift registries and online store fronts making it easy for anyone...anywhere to purchase the gifts you really want. Tracking items or updating your wish list by computer and viewing updated information as they are purchased also reduces the chances of receiving duplicate gifts and the time & effort involved exchanging or returning them.

You should create a shopping list together with your fiancé (Home Depot has a bridal registry too!) and register for items from a varied price range. Providing a range of prices to your guests creates a more comfortable gift buying experience, though be sure to put some high ticket items that you really want or need as well (often several friends or relatives may purchase an item and gift it from the group). Gift cards make great presents as well, even if your guests don't purchase from your registry...you may receive a gift card for one of the stores on you list.

Many stores have registry consultants. Be sure to ask about upcoming specials and sale items and ask them to provide a printout of your wish list.

1. Determine what stores and items the two of you could use to begin your lives together.

2. Include items from a varied price range to create a more comfortable shopping experience.

3. Let all your family and friends know where you have registered.

4. When planning bridal showers include registry information with the invitations.

5. Be excited to know that many of the gifts you receive will come from your wish list.
