Importance of a registry. |

josie, a newlywed from mississauga, was disappointed with her wedding gifts. Although she had carefully registered for the china, crystal, and flatware patterns she wanted, most of her guests neglected to find out where. Instead, Josie received eight vases, five picture frames, three sugar-and-creamer sets, and only one-and-a-half place settings. She had hoped to begin entertaining friends at home right away, but all her free time after the wedding was spent returning unwanted gifts and haggling with salespeople.
The bridal registry will take the guesswork out of wedding gifts, but only if it’s used correctly by the couple and their guests. Here, from Bride’s magazine, are twelve golden rules for smooth and successful registering:
1. register three to six months before the wedding. If you register earlier, some seasonal patterns and promotional items may be out of season by your wedding day.
2. visit the store during off hours. To examine patterns and consider choices in a relaxed and tranquil environment.
3. give yourselves plenty of time. These are important decisions, and you should think them over. Many brides-to-be first come in alone to narrow down their selections, then return with their fiance’s to make final decisions.
4. take advantage Of registry consultants. These experts are invaluable sources of advice about everything from wedding etiquette to bone china.
5. be descriptive. Don’t write down just any number on the registry form it may not be the style number. Include as much description as space allows.
6. register in a price range. Include high-priced gifts for guests who can afford them, less-expensive gifts for shower guests and guests on limited budgets.
7. use your imagination. China, crystal, silver, linen, and housewares are classic wedding gifts and perennial favorites with brides and grooms, but consider registering for furniture, sports and camping equipment, gardening tools, computers, stereos. Several specialty stores and mail-order catalogues now offer registries as well, for gifts from antiques to CDs.
8. don’t overlap. Register for each item in one store only, otherwise you will go crazy keeping track of gifts that have and haven't been purchased. |
