How to Register for Your Wedding

Registering for your wedding can be a fun, exciting experience for you and your soon-to-be-spouse to do together. More retailers now offer easy-to-use registration stations in their stores as well as online, making the experience quick and easy.

Where to register

The first step is deciding where you will register. This decision is based on several factors including what types of items you want, personal taste and price ranges. The best websites for wedding registries present a large variety of items such as www.bedbathandbeyond.com. Websites like these allow you to pick a variety of items and have an eclectic mix of styles and price ranges. Having a larger selection is not only great for you as a couple, but makes shopping for your wedding easier on your guests as well.

Picking out the gifts

If you are using an online registry, most websites will allow you to pick items and quantities of each item to add to your registry from any computer. An account is created using your name and wedding date. From there, guests are able to buy individual items or sets of items (like wine glasses) and have them shipped directly to you or they have the option of printing the registry to use as a shopping guide.

Other stores will have a kiosk located near the customer service counter. You are asked to walk through the store with a scanner and scan items that interest you, indicating colors, quantities, etc. Your guests are then able to view the registry and see what items you have requested. Once items are purchased, shoppers will be able to indicate what they bought so others don’t repeat the gift.

Easy Step-by-Step Instructions

• Choose the store. Try to find a store that suits your tastes and needs and offers a large variety of items and price ranges.
• Choose wisely. Pick items that you will use, are affordable and you might not buy for yourself after paying the florist and caterer and everyone else under the sun. Remember that your guests want to give you a gift they know you will use and enjoy.

Warnings advice and suggestions

If your family or friends are from different parts of the country or world, pick a store with national locations. They will be able to find a location near them and shop for you without having to go far from home. Choose a variety of gifts that will allow guests to personalize what they are giving you. Not everyone will want to give you silverware and that stuffed hedgehog may not be as funny to Aunt Susan in the way it is to your friend Kate. Pick gifts as a couple. The presents are to wish you both well and should be for both of you.
