Wedding gifts are among the most exciting parts of a wedding and gift registries are heaven-sent, making life a lot easier for both the couple and their close friends and loved ones. Here are some useful tips you can use when planning your wedding registry:
- Register! Many couples make the mistake of not registering for gifts and end up with things they already have or ones that they will never use or use once and forget about later. Having a registry helps you make sure that the gifts you will receive are exactly what you need and make it easier for your friends and loved ones to shop for gifts that you will definitely enjoy.
- Register at your favorite stores. Most stores now have their own registry, including online-only stores.
- Register for things that you need first and things you like last. This way, you can cover all the basics.
- Don't register for a gift unless you intend to use and keep it. Guests always want to give you things that you can enjoy and keep. Don't pick a gift out only to return it later.
- Go at an off-peak hour to make your wedding registry experience less stressful. Many stores even allow you to shop online for even more convenience.
- Give yourself time to look around so you can see all your options and pick the best gifts to start you off in your journey as a couple.
- Don't limit your registering time to a single day. Spread it out over a few days so you can have a fresh set of eyes every time you visit the store.
- Register as a couple. You may not share the exact same taste in all things, but registering for gifts is the best time to start meshing your styles together.
- Don't check the list before the shower. Save the excitement for when you receive the gifts and open them together.
- Lastly, show appreciation for what you have received by sending out thank you cards.
