CONSIDER YOUR GUESTS WHEN CHOOSING A REGISTRY

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.

Increase The Options
Nobody likes being told what to buy; rather, they enjoy being guided to to a conclusion. Therefore, increase the total number of shopping options. Instead of registering at just one store, register at a few different stores.





Rather than choose the items you want according to how many guests you expect, add more items to the list than you expect to receive. Finally, arrange registries at different kinds of stores so that your guests can choose the type of gifts they are most comfortable purchasing. Maybe a certain relative would be more at home shopping at Macy's, while other friends would prefer The Home Depot. The added touch of variety brings back a little spontaneity to the gift giving.





Consider The Price
While some guests might be able to afford nice furniture or even vacation plans in their purchasing, others will not be able to afford much, and can be financially burdened by careless planning.

Have you chosen plenty of inexpensive gifts for your wish list? Be sure and include a full range of prices when creating your list. Some stores might be too luxurious to have many small and affordable gifts in stock. This is another reason why a few different registries should be set up at different kinds of stores.

Introduce Your Guests To Convenience
If at all possible, hook your wedding guests up with a department store than has an online bridal registry. Online shopping is convenient, safe and eliminates many of the common problems associated with a traditional bridal registry.

Looking out for the interests of your guests will enhance the reputation of bridal registries—and more importantly, get you more practical wedding gifts.
