It’s one of the best parts about getting married – creating your wedding registry. Here are some tips to keep in mind to make the most out of your registry with the least amount of stress.
1. Register Early
Friends and relatives will be looking to buy wedding gifts as soon as you get engaged. You don’t need to complete your registry list right away, but it’s good to have a selection for guests to browse.
2. Do it together
You may have to drag him to the store, but it’s important you do it together since the gifts are for both of you. It’s only fair that you both have a say.
3. Skip the non-essentials
Do you really need a pasta maker? Or a fondue pot? These items will get purchased and you’ll quickly realize that all they do is take up space.
4. Don’t register for duplicate items
If you register at more than one place, make sure you print the list from your first registry and have it handy when you do the second one.
5. Be prepared to return duplicate or unwanted gifts
More than likely you’ll receive a few duplicate gifts. Schedule a day to return things for cash or store credit whenever possible.
Most importantly, remember practical is best and you register for things you want and will use. Don’t forget to send thank you notes for all the gifts you receive!
Have fun! Scan away!
