10 Tips for Wedding Registry

Posted by Doncrack Friday, September 25, 2009

Many couples that decide to get married, don’t have a lot of money. This is especially so in young couples. A wedding registry is the perfect answer to getting started on your own. Setting one up is pretty simple, and will help you avoid receiving duplicates of some stuff and getting things that you don’t really need. You basically have to pick a couple of stores, create the wedding registry either on the internet or on paper, select different items that you would like, and tell the guests who are attending your wedding.

If you still need some help with your wedding registry, follow these ten easy steps:

1. First off, you should find between two to four merchants, such as Macy’s or Bed Bath and Beyond. This allows your guests to have some options.

2. Pick merchants online as well as in person. For some, registering online is confusing to those guests who have never gone online and shopped.

3. Make sure you look at the fine print and check for and fees that may not have been out in the open. You don’t want your guests to be charged a ridiculous amount when they are trying to buy a gift for you.

4. Look at general merchants who might offer a wedding registry.

5. Go big and go small. Some guests may be willing to buy you that 50 inch wide-screen, but others may not have it in their budget to purchase something expensive. So go ahead and register for different priced items.

6. Ask about discounts on gifts that weren’t purchased. There are a few merchants who will give at least a 10 percent discount on these items. It is also smart to add more things to your wedding registry if you do find out that you can get a discount.

7. Research! Know what household items you absolutely need and find out what will last for years to come. Doing so will save you time and money later on.

8. Do not put your address out for everyone to see. Give it to the wedding registry but make it unavailable to everyone else. You don’t want strangers popping up at your door.

9. Ask someone you know personally to watch out for packages while you aren’t there. This will avoid someone stealing your gifts.

10. Gifts like drinking glasses are good when they come in sets. So, if you get duplicates of something consider keeping it, you might never know when it might come in handy.

A wedding registry is great for any bride and groom. They make life easier and allow them to receive things they actually want.
