Registry Ideas

You can register for all sorts of gift items for your new home.  Everything from bath towels to good china and most anything in between.  Give your registry diversity so that there will be plenty for people to choose from.  You should also add some of the higher priced items you may need or want.  Studies show that people tend to spend more on wedding gifts than any other occasion.  You never know, several of your family may go in together to get something really nice for you and your new husband!  But you will certainly not get it if you don't ask for it!

Here is another idea in addition to your traditional gift registry:  Set up a gift registry with your photographer!  The easiest way to do it is to have cards made up that let your guests know you are registered with your photographer and have the photographers contact info on it and be sure to include your name as well.  Many photographers would probably give you these cards for free.  Then your friends and family would call in or send in monetary gifts that would build up a credit for you with the photographer.  You could use this credit to pay on your account or add more pictures and further upgrades after the wedding!  This is great for those that haven't much need for toasters, coffee makers, china, or other traditional wedding gifts.  You know what they say, everyone loves pictures, especially wedding pictures!  Everyone will want to see your album and then they will want pictures too.  Regardless of what you spend on your photography package upfront, you are still likely to need and want more after the wedding.  In a recent pole of local brides and photographers, we found that 80% of brides (and her family) ordered anywhere from $200 - $800 or more in additional albums, frames prints on top of the original photography package they booked before the wedding.

Another idea:  If you and your groom are not in need of much of anything, you could have your guests donate to your favorite charity on your behalf instead of the traditional wedding gifts!

Whatever you do for the registry it is often considered bad etiquette to mention the registry in the actual wedding invitation.  It is best to spread the word via friends and family, and/or put up a personal wedding website.  Local brides can register with us and get a personal wedding website FREE!
