FIND, CREATE, MANAGE

Build a wedding registry that reflects not only your taste, but also takes care of what you will need as a couple setting up a home Opening your wedding gifts can be a bit like the new iPhone launch. All that build- up leading to something you already have or don’t need. That’s unfortunate, because behind each of those gifts you won’t use, is someone who wanted to get you something memorable. Enter gift registry; the perfect platform to bridge the gap between what your guests give you and what you really want.

WHAT IS A GIFT REGISTRY?

You and your fiancé can visit a wedding registry website and choose the products you would like to receive. From home appliances and gift cards to holidays and charities, it’s all there. Once you’ve added the products you like, integrate the list with a wedding website that has your pictures, story and function details. You can share this link with your friends and family, who can then purchase or contribute towards any gift on your list.

WHY CREATE ONE?

The joy of loving each and every gift you receive, and making it a part of your life, is unparalleled. A lot of money is spent on these gifts, so it’s good to be responsible in your approach to wedding gifts. Also, there is no stress for guests. A lot of us think that asking for gifts can be awkward. But step into the guests’ shoes and you’ll see how much they love it. With a registry, they know exactly what you want, where to get it, and if it’s been bought already or not.

HOW TO HAVE THE PERFECT LIST?

Think about what to add. Don’t rush the process. Explore, think and then add gifts to your list. Do it together. Share the experience with your partner. Do it in time. Share your wish list with your guests four to six weeks before the wedding to ensure that they haven’t bought you something already.
