- Bridal Registries |
Regardless of the type of wedding you're planning,
your age or your budget, your friends and
family want to give you a wedding gift. They
want to give you something you need and want.
You know yourself how good it feels to give
someone a gift they really like. Everyone
likes to believe their gift is special and
won't be returned after the wedding. Registration,
therefore, is a service for your family and
friends as well as for yourselves.
Developing a personalized bridal registry
list will help you get started on the creation
of your new life together. After the stress
and rushing around of the wedding, reception,
and honeymoon, it's great to come home to
the things that will make you comfortable
and relaxed. You'll have the necessities for
your new home.
Today's bridal registries are putting a new
spin on tradition. Sure you may register for
china, silver, and crystal, but, you will
also register for sheets, towels, cookware,
bakeware, cutlery, and appliances. The things
you need for everyday living. Your friends
will want to know your favorite colors, the
size of your bed, what pieces of cookware
you need, and if you already have a toaster.
If you register, you'll get one toaster, not
five!
An experienced, professional bridal registry
consultant has the product knowledge to help
you with your selections. It can be a little
overwhelming when three are so many decisions,
so many details, and so little time to take
care of everything. It's important that you
have confidence in your registry consultant.
Register about 5 to 8 months before the wedding.
This assures that your list will be in place
before any parties or showers. Most companies
will maintain your registry for at least one
year after your wedding date. When choosing
a company for your wish list there are several
things to consider. First is customer service.
You'll want your guests to be treated well,
and you'll want a positive experience while
doing your exchange after the wedding. Next
is accessibly. Will it be easy for your guests
to obtain your list and the items on it? Selection,
quality, and prices are important too.
Make an appointment to do your registry. The
Consultant should set aside an hour to an
hour and a half for you. It's best to go in
a day or two before your appointment to look
around. That way you'll have an idea of the
things you want on your list, and won't be
overwhelmed by all of the questions. The consultant
will answer any remaining questions at the
time of your appointment. That's his or her
job.
Bridal registry is a complementary service.
Your time with a registry consult and the
servicing of your list is free. It will be
the easiest part of your wedding plans, and
the most profitable. Remember, choose someone
you have confidence in . . . and have fun
developing your wish list. Your guests will
appreciate the time you spend making their
gift selection so easy and convenient.
