3 Tips for simplifying the wedding registry process

Let’s face it: Planning your wedding is stressful. Even when creating your registry, the endless gift possibilities can be just as overwhelming as they are exciting. Here are a few tips to help you maintain a stress-free and enjoyable registry.

Create an online registry
Registering online is convenient for you and your guests. If you really want that in-store registry experience, find a registry with online and in-store options. Some registry sites offers a Sync & Display feature where members can import their in-store registries from select stores onto their universal registry, which then updates whenever a gift is purchased online or in-store.

Register Together

In the past, wedding registries were primarily created by the bride, but today many include gadgets and power tools along with linens and china. With a universal registry, you can add from the bride and groom’s favorite stores, so take advantage of this. The registry is a chance for a couple to plan their married life together, so it’s best when both parties contribute.

Don’t be afraid to ask for cash

Asking for money is realistic, not taboo! Sites offers a Cash Gift option where you can name your fund ‘Dream Honeymoon,’ ‘Home Furnishing Fund,’ or whatever you'd like. Guests are much more likely to give cash when they know that their contribution is going towards something meaningful.
