Bridal Registry Tips

Tips & To-Dos

Where In The World? Register at a place or places where guests can access your registry, in person or online. Make it easy on those buying your wedding gifts to find what you want. If you have a lot of mainland guests attending, try to register at a place that is accessible to everyone (i.e.: Macys, Neiman Marcus, Pier One, etc.)

The Time Is Now: Register at any time before the invites go out. But a good time to do it is five-eight months prior to your
wedding date. That is one less thing you’ll have to worry about closer to your wedding, and you can always make changes after your initial registry.

Just What You Asked For: It’s acceptable and OK nowadays to register for almost anything that your bridal registry store carries. That’s why registering in department stores (Sears, JC Penney)
or discount super stores (Target, Walmart. etc.) is popular
with couples.

It’s A Gift: After you’ve completed your registry, go to that same store at a different location or to that same store the next day,
to make sure that everything on your registry was processed
correctly; and that it is easy to access and understand. Don’t make gift giving difficult for your guests.

Checking In: Check back periodically with your registry to see if you need to add items or change anything.

Too Much Of A Good Thing: It’s OK to register at multiple stores, but don’t get carried away. Two stores is a good number, too many more and your spreading yourself thin and narrowing the odds that people are going to go hunting for what you want. Sometimes too many options can be a bad thing.
