Creating a Bridal Registry

First of all, what is a bridal registry? A bridal registry, or wedding list, is a list of items that the wedding couple would like to receive as wedding gifts. The bride and the groom can go to a specific merchant and choose among the stock items which ones they like. They would then give the list to the merchant. Once a guest buys one of the items in the list, it is automatically revised to remove the purchased item. This way, no guest would buy a duplicate of what has already been bought.

If there is something that you really want to receive as a gift, having a bridal registry is helpful not only for you, but most especially, to your guests. Bridal registry is very useful for the guests, especially if they hardly know you or have no idea what you may want.

If you are confused on which shop or merchant to choose, here is a list:

· Target

· JC Penney

· Bed, Bath & Beyond

· Bloomingdale’s

· Macy’s

· Williams Sonoma

You don’t have to limit yourself with just one store. However, don’t get too many merchants because a long list of bridal registry will not help your guests, but would even confuse them. You can also access online bridal registry in the following sites:

· www.regaloservice.com

· www.myregistry.com

· www.findgift.com

· www.weddingchannel.com

It is necessary that you choose the ones you really want so that you won’t be disappointed. The items should just be within $30 - $100 on the average. You don’t want to cripple your guests with expensive gifts, right? And you don’t want them buying something out of your bridal registry because they couldn’t afford what you have listed. Including the bridal registry in wedding invitations is a big no-no. You can just give them out through friends and family. Or you can inform them that you have a bridal registry in specific stores that you chose.
