Registry shopping must be one of the most fun parts of wedding planning. Who doesn’t love

new towels and sheets? However, if you were looking forward to going up and down the aisles

with one of those scanner guns, you might be disappointed. Most retailers have moved away

from this process, and most wedding registries are created online.

The days of the traditional registry with its formal dinnerware, crystal stemware, and silver

that requires polishing, are behind us. Today’s bride and groom are registering for items that

fit their lifestyle. That’s not to say you shouldn’t register for porcelain and crystal if that’s your

entertaining style, but don’t feel like it’s a requirement.

Before you and your fiancé rush into creating your registries, either online or in person, take

inventory of the pieces you have, and what you wish you had. Be sure to note down anything

that is starting to look worn, or maybe doesn’t work anymore. Those are great items to add to

your registry. Don’t hesitate to do a bit of research on some of the larger ticket items, either.

Guests appreciate plenty of options, so be sure to register for a wide range of items across

many different price points. To the right is a list of traditional and modern items often found on

registries.

WHERE TO REGISTER

CREATING YOUR

REGISTRY

Where you register can be just as important as what you register for. Keep in mind that some

of your guests prefer to go to a physical store and browse your registry items in person, while

other guests will want the ease of ordering online. With that said, almost anything can be

added to a registry these days. Retailers like Best Buy and Domino’s Pizza have even jumped

on the wedding registry bandwagon. Yes, you can create a pizza wedding registry.

Stores like Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Kohl’s are popular locations for registries, and are

easily accessible within the Texoma area. For those wanting to create an online registry,

Amazon, Zola, and Blueprint Registry are popular.

Some retailers offer a completion discount which allows you to purchase unfulfilled items on

your registry at a discounted rate for a short period of time after your wedding.

Keep in mind that you don’t have to pick just one place to register; two or three gift registries

are completely acceptable and even expected. Remember that your guests like to have options

on where to shop and what to get you.
