The Do’s and Don’ts of Making a Bridal Registry

by WeddingCakeCreations.com When you sit down to compile your bridal registry, there are a few things that you should keep in mind – first, this list should be made with the convenience of all of your guests in mind; second, you do not want to come across as greedy so be reasonable in your requests; third, choose a bridal registry store with which you know most of your guests are familiar. Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts of making your bridal and gift registry – whether you walk into a store or you use an online bridal registry. Do’s: * Do put items in all price ranges on your list * Do register at a store at which you shop * Do be specific about the colour, quantity and even the brand of the items you would like to receive * Do make your list as extensive as possible so that all of your guests can find something to give you Don’ts: * Don’t only put big ticket items on your list * Don’t put generic descriptions of what you want on your list such as “water glasses” – you might end up with water glasses that you positively detest * Don’t make such a small list that once the first five people have bought you a gift there is nothing left from which the other guests can choose * Don’t register at a store that you wish you could shop at, but never would because it is too expensive – if it is too expensive for you, then it is probably too expensive for your guests A bridal registry is a common sense list that simply helps your guests make the right choices when purchasing your wedding gift. You can either help them out by making a large, clear and specific bridal and gift registry at your favorite store, or you can end up receiving a seashell clock from Aunty Kay that you would never even consider hanging in your basement!
