BRIDAL REGISTRY PROBLEMS AND THE ONLINE SOLUTION

Many people view bridal registries as a tacky alternative to gift giving as well as an inconvenient way to shop. But when you organize a bridal registry online you bring convenience as well as good manners to the event. Consider some common complaints about traditional bridal registries from wedding guests and how the online solution helps.











1. "We have to wait forever just to get an employee's attention. Getting a printout of the gift list is an even greater hassle."
With online bridal registries, wedding guests no longer have to worry about lines or flagging down a clerk for check out. Traffic and parking are other troubling issues that online registries eliminate.


2. "We can't even find the items in the store that we're supposed to buy."
Online shopping is usually always stocked and even if a particular item isn't, it can usually be ordered with no extra trip to the department store required.

3. "The store's bridal registry gift list never has any prices. I never know what I'm buying or how much it's going to cost me until it's too late."
Another problem online shopping solves. When you login to a department store's online bridal registry, you get to see a complete list of chosen items and how much they're going to cost you long before you ever take out your wallet.





4. "The gift list is inaccurate. Every time somebody buys a gift, the store either forgets to deduct it from the list or some other error causes duplicate purchases."
Not online. Computers that don't make human mistakes track online shopping. When a gift is purchased, the gift list is automatically updated, showing guests clearly what items are left to purchase in specific quantities.

5. "We were charged full retail price for an item even though the store told the bride it would be discounted."
Dealing with clerks and managers in stores allows for a lot of problems in communication. A manager can easily tell a bride and groom one thing, and then a clerk could misstate the information to a wedding guest. (Worse yet, the manager could even change his mind!) With online sales all of the middlemen are eliminated and the only communication done is between you the automated system. You choose what gift you want at a clearly labeled price. Your gift is delivered and the company handles any other complexities

Shopping for gifts online is a convenient and courteous way to handle a delicate setting like a bridal registry. It relieves the wedding guest of any pressure that could be experienced in a physical department store. Why not let your wedding guests know you appreciate their gift, by making the process as easy as possible?
