<strong>The</strong> <strong>Do’s</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Don’ts</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Wedding</strong> <strong>Registry</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong>re is one essential part <strong>of</strong> your wedding which might bring you the most joy after the big day<br />

is finished. You <strong>and</strong> your spouse return home to find presents piled up just waiting to be opened.<br />

That’s the joy <strong>of</strong> a wedding registry. Creating your registry is one <strong>of</strong> the many purely fun parts <strong>of</strong><br />

planning your wedding. Going to a store with your future husb<strong>and</strong> or wife <strong>and</strong> choosing all the<br />

items you’d love to have for your home is a special time for the two <strong>of</strong> you to share. While<br />

creating your registry might seem like a pretty simple task, building a registry that is actually<br />

beneficial to both you, as well as your wedding guests, takes time <strong>and</strong> a little bit <strong>of</strong> planning. If<br />

you’re curious as to how you should build your wedding registry then check out some <strong>of</strong> the tips<br />

below.<br />

Going Hog Wild<br />

Remember how excited you were for Christmas or your birthday as a kid? Your focus was on<br />

presents. You couldn’t wait to see all the new stuff you got <strong>and</strong> the thought <strong>of</strong> ripping <strong>of</strong>f the<br />

wrapping paper kept you up at night. This can easily happen when it comes time to start your<br />

registry. Going through the store can be overwhelming. Simply put – the store has a lot <strong>of</strong> items.<br />

A lot <strong>of</strong> items you would love for your home. In fact, there are so many amazing items in any<br />

given store that it’s easy to leave with hundreds <strong>of</strong> things on your list without even realizing it.<br />

That’s where the hog wild term comes in. Walking through your favorite store with a scanner<br />

gun giddy with wedding bliss can lead to your wedding registry growing a little too big to<br />

h<strong>and</strong>le. Before heading to the store you should always sit down with your partner <strong>and</strong> discuss<br />

what items you truly need for your home. Staples like linens, cookware, <strong>and</strong> kitchenware are all<br />

high on the list. If you already have those items in stock from other family members or past<br />

purchases then move on to other areas which might be helpful – décor <strong>and</strong> household essentials.<br />

Include Several Known Stores<br />

One major mistake some couples go in for when planning their registry is picking a single store<br />

for everything. It might seem like a simple way to keep your list in order, but keep in mind that<br />

guests may want a variety <strong>of</strong> places to choose from. Not to mention the prices from store to store<br />

vary. Technology has made it extremely easy for most wedding guests to pop online, search<br />

through your registry, <strong>and</strong> order something nice in under a few minutes. Online-only stores may<br />

be appealing due to price or ease <strong>of</strong> access but think about your guests. Older guests may be<br />

more inclined to visit the store in person to pick out their items. Choosing stores which appeal<br />

only to tech-savvy friends may end with limited items from your registry if guests are unable to<br />

order online. While choosing a few <strong>of</strong> your favorite niche stores online is fine, try to include<br />

some bigger well-known chains as well. That way all members <strong>of</strong> your wedding day will be able<br />

to choose something beautiful from your wedding registry.<br />

No Personal Items<br />

This notch on the list might be a hard pill to swallow for some brides <strong>and</strong> grooms. That new<br />

shaving set might really help get your wedding <strong>of</strong>f on the right foot. Plus those designer shoes


you’ve been dying to purchase will really brighten up your new closet, right? Sadly these<br />

arguments don’t really hold up when it comes time for you to create your registry. Trying to<br />

build a registry with a lot <strong>of</strong> personal items is tacky in the wedding world. Your wedding registry<br />

should always be a reflection <strong>of</strong> what you need as a couple. <strong>The</strong>se items should help you flourish<br />

in your new home or get you ready for living together. Some <strong>of</strong> the gifts will be essential to<br />

helping you operate once you return from your honeymoon. As much as a wedding registry<br />

might seem like it’s all about you <strong>and</strong> your partner, it’s really about you as a couple. It’s<br />

tempting to add a few items here <strong>and</strong> there that fall into the personal gift category but do your<br />

best to resist. Find a beautiful lamp or a nice rug instead <strong>and</strong> add that to your list.<br />
