Wedding Registry



Traditionally, during the planning process, an engaged couple begins registering at various stores for wedding gifts. This is a way for friends and family to help the couple furnish their new home. With such a big job, where do you start? There are many tips to help you register for your big day.

A couple should register early, according to Your Wedding Place. By registering at least six months prior to the wedding, plenty of time is allowed for guests to purchase items.

When questioning what to register for, The Knot recommends you register for whatever you want. Of course, there is no sense in registering for things you don’t need. You should pick out things that you will use on a regular basis. Also, include items in every price range to give guests options.

If possible, you should allow guests to have the option of buying gift cards instead of gifts, according to Money Smart Life. By doing this, it gives engaged couple the ability to buy whatever items are still needed after all of the gifts are received.

According to Money Smart Life, register at a store chain that is local and available for all of your wedding guests. JC Penney, Dillard’s, Sears, Macy’s and Kohl’s are among some of the top places to register, according to Brides.com.

As you begin receiving items, according to The Knot, it is important to update your registries to keep from receiving duplicate items.

Remember, keeping your registry practical is the safest way to go. The point of registering is to help you create a solid foundation with all of the necessities.
