While it seems like so much fun – it’s making the ultimate
wish list! – you’ll want to keep some things in mind as you create your wedding
registry.
Timing is everything. Make sure you give your guests enough
time to choose a gift, at least four months before your wedding. Six months is
better, if possible!
Options, options, options. You’re giving suggestions to
everyone, from your college roommate to your future spouse’s grandmother. You’ll
want to be sure that there are plenty of options at many different price
points. You also will want to register at more than one store; and at least one
of those stores should have an online option for people who prefer to shop
online.
Plan ahead. But at the same time you want to give your
guests options, you don’t want to register for things you don’t need. Get a
list together of what you’ll actually need to start your married life together
before you head to the store, scanner in hand!
But don’t put it in print. It is still considered an
etiquette “no-no” to put any wedding registry information on your invitations.
If you have a wedding website, that’s a great place to put all those types of
links. Otherwise, let the members of your wedding party or other family members
spread the word where to find your registry.
