5 Helpful Registry Tips
Register for more than you need and different price points
-Go trigger happy! When registering, remember that it’s helpful to have several items to choose from. Your friends and family can look for the perfect gift to show their love no matter what their budget is.
Research Return Policies and Completion Discounts
-Be informed! Make sure that you carefully take a look at the ease of returns or exchanges for each of your registries. You don’t want to be stuck with multiples of the same items. Good customer service regarding your registries is essential in lessening the stress of sorting through gifts and putting together your new home.
Don’t be afraid to register for high price items
-Just Go For It! Don’t be afraid to register for those high priced items you imagine no one will purchase. Go ahead and get that higher priced item on your registry. You never know how your friends and family want to team up and get you something really special.
Don't Add Your Registry Information to Your Wedding Invitation
-Don’t Be Rude! Your wedding invitations should be strictly reserved for your guests to be invited to share in your big day. Adding your gift registry to the invitation suggests that receiving a gift is just as important as inviting your guests to your wedding.
