- The key is timing. Make sure to register BEFORE the first bridal celebration but not early enough that some of your items may become discontinued.
- Just about every store has a registry now. If you already have most of the everyday ware, think of registering at specialty stores – art galleries, hardware or luggage stores, or even travel agencies!
- Don’t worry about matching your tableware exactly. It’s actually stylish to mix several patterns in the same place setting to personalize your table.
- You know not to go to the grocery store hungry, so don’t register for everything in one day, writing down every cute thing you think you think you need. Instead take your time and consider all your options before completing.
- Although it is usually considered impolite to ask guests to buy gifts at certain locations, putting your registry information on your wedding website is perfectly acceptable and in this day and age, probably one of the most effective and polite ways to aim people in the right direction.
- The individual throwing your shower can certainly make it “themed” based. If you and your hubby to be are going on a tropical honeymoon, the shower and gifts can be based around this theme. Or perhaps you really need kitchen items, why not a kitchen based shower.
- Word of mouth. No matter what, people are going to ask for your closest friends and family’s input into what would be best to get you, so just make sure they are well informed.
