| Wedding Registry Tips | Some of them will even let you add last-minute gifts before you close the registry, so be sure to ask before you sign up.
In addition add things as you go so you can get more items at a discount and keep gifts in everyone's budget.
7. Do become a connoisseur of household essentials. You should read up on information about thread counts, knife tang and silverware chromium-to-nickel ratios before you make selections or you might end up with items that feel rough, break or rust easily.
- A rule of thumb: If a product's description involves jargon you don't recognize, conduct a simple Web search on the unfamiliar terms. This could save you from buying replacement items sooner than you'd like.
8. Do ask that your address remain hidden from guests but on file. Your guests don't need to know your mailing address to send you a gift, and that way strangers can't find out where you live.
9. Do appoint a reliable person to check on your house while you're honeymooning.
You do not want a bunch of Crate & Barrel boxes sitting out on your porch.
10. Do consider keeping duplicate gifts.
For instance, that second set of drinking glasses might come in handy when some start breaking.
Finally, remember that registries are meant to make your guests' lives easier by providing them with a wish list, but they are by no means bound to that list or obligated to buy you anything.
Look at the things that you need, treat yourself to things you might not need, and don't be afraid to think outside the box.
Modern wedding registries are going beyond towels and toasters.
