| Wedding Registry Items | • Select gifts for different price ranges. It is very rude to only include expensive gifts on your registry. Do not make assumptions about how much your guests can and should spend.
• Avoid gadgets you probably won't use. How a lot of couples do you know with salad spinners and sandwich makers in the back of their closets?
• Register for sets of things in pieces. Choose a bathroom coordinate pattern and register separately for the shower curtain, the matching rug, the toothpaste holder, etc. It will allow people to buy as many pieces as they want within their price range. Then do the same for comforter sets, dishes, and so forth.
• Do you really need china? If you are into formal dining, register for fine china. If you are not, don't feel obligated to sign up for this traditional gift. Just register for a good set of everyday dishes instead. In addition, if you ever need china, chances are that someone you know has a set they never use that you can borrow.
• Don't be limited by "traditional' choices. The great thing of registering at a store is that you can register for all kinds of stuff- DVDs, electronics, camping equipment, board games, or whatever you enjoy and will actually use.
• Don't register for inappropriate items. Some couples believe it's funny to register for condoms or other similar items. Use common sense.
Consider ditching the registry.
- Do you and your partner have big incomes and all the stuff you need? Some people usually ask their guests not to give wedding gifts, and perhaps suggest a charity for guests to donate to instead.
