Wedding Registry - Basics and New Ideas

A wedding registry is supposed to make your life easier but can sometimes lead to panic. Consider the following information when you begin to think about registering for gifts.

Getting Started: Don't just run to any store with a registry and start scanning anything you can get your hands on.

Before you even approach the store, consider your tastes. Are you into the clean lines and sleek simplicity of contemporary designs in a neutral color palette? Or do you prefer the classic formality of ornate fabrics, elegant window treatments and rich colors? Perhaps the rustic romance of floral patterns, wood furniture and crafty dècor suits you best.

Think about not only what you like right now, but also what you think you may prefer in the future.

Picking Stores:

- Many retailers provide bridal registry services. The question is which ones you should pick. Consider the following factors when selecting stores at which to register:

- Does the store have a wide selection? Does it have a lot of merchandise that appeals to your sense of style? What brands does the retailer carry?

- Does the store provide shipping services? Will it have gifts sent to a designated address? How much will shipping cost the person buying the gift?

- Is it conveniently located for the majority of your guests to utilize? Will it be easy for guests to access your registry? Is everything labeled for ease of purchase? Can guests order over the phone or online?

- How does the store keep track of the items purchased from and remaining on your registry to help prevent gift duplication? How often is the list updated?
