Registering know how

Registering can be one of the best parts of the wedding planning.  It is a fun day that you and the groom can enjoy together.  This is a great activity to get the groom involved in as you will find that he may not care what your centerpieces look like, but he will care about the items that he will be unwrapping from your guests. 

When registering, remember to keep it simple.  Register for items that you know you will actually use.  It is a common mistake that many couples make by registering for items that look pretty on the shelves, but have no practicality in their everyday life.  Make sure you give your guests a list of items that they can purchase that you will use, rather than have locked up in a cupboard collecting dust.

Many stores will provide you a list of items that are common registry items.  Don’t feel that you have to register for all these items if you aren’t going to use them.  Many couples are now choosing not to register for fine china, crystal goblets and sterling silver trays.  These items can be a great addition, but only if you really want them.  Just because the store says you should, doesn’t mean you have to. Remember to register for items that are in everyone’s price range.  It is great to go to your large department store and register for a variety of items, but keep in mind those prices may be a bit much for some of your guests.  A store that has great items, but is on the cheaper side is a great idea to register at as well.  This will give your guests the option rather than make them feel they need to take out a second mortgage in order to attend your wedding. 

 

Don’t overdo it.  Registering at too many locations can make things hard on your guests. Don’t register for too many items either.  Evaluate the number of people that are receiving Save-The-Date notices and the number you are inviting to your wedding.  A good estimate is to register for three items, in all price ranges, per person/couple invited.  This will give options for your guests to select from, but will also not make you look like a greedy bride that wants the entire store.
