Wedding Tip of the Week – Wedding Registry
Now that you're engaged, it's time to start planning your wedding. However, have you thought of everything in between planning your wedding? Have you thought about your wedding registry? This sounds like the fun part, but yet it can be stressful. What dishes do you register for, what kitchen appliances do you need and what about bedding? So, we've come up with a few tips to make this process a little less stressful.
- Make sure you have PLENTY of time – Make sure you have no prior commitments that day so you can spend as much time as you like in the store. It takes longer than you think.
- Have a strategy – Talk with your significant other beforehand. Discuss if you would like certain styles, color schemes or appliances.
- What's in your home now? – See what you have already. Decide if that blender can stay or go or if you need an updated microwave.
- Choose different price points – This is for your guests. Not everyone can spend $100 for a gift and not everyone only wants to spend $10 for an item as well. Provide variety for your guests.
- Ask for advice – If you have friends who are recently married, ask them for advice. What did they use and what haven't they used? What was useful for them? While your needs maybe a little different, advice is always good to have before you register.

Wedding Wednesday – Gift Registry?
Your Wedding Wednesday Question
My fiancée and I have lived together for three years and already have a lot of the usual registry items.
Is it rude to put unconventional items on our registry, such as movie tickets and boardgames?
Answer:
Modern couples often run into this problem. After living together for a while, you usually have the basic items. A good rule of thumb is to stick to items that are a gift to both of you. Movie tickets and boardgames are something that both you and your future spouse share and do together. However, items that can be considered "birthday gifts" like an iPod or some new heels are not a great choice to put on your registry. Offer a variety of gift options by considering upgrading some of your home items and put those things on your registry. Ultimately, a gift registry is there to give guests ideas for gifts and it is up to the giver what gift they would like to give you.
We hope this answered your question!

5 Tips For Your Gift Registry
So, you've felt all the stress from wedding planning. Are you wondering if it'll end soon or how much can I take? Do you need a break? Well, what better way to de-stress with finding the perfect items for your wedding registry. However, don't turn this into a stressful wedding to-do. It's a great time to spend with your groom and have a fun day together, not thinking about wedding stuff at all. Wedding and Party Network has some wedding registry tips to make your time more enjoyable and stress free.
Show Off Your Personality – So many times people register for what they "think" is right, not really showing off their own style. However, do just that. Show off your personality through the items you register for.
Your guests want to buy things that you will use and enjoy. So, if you're a big BBQ enthusiast, register for some great BBQ items. However, if you love to bake, register for some great baking tools. You can also show off your color and style through the items you register for so you can decorate your home to match your personality.
Individual=Coordinating – To make a great price point for your guests, register for individual items that can make up one great coordinating piece. For example, register for cookware, glasses, knives to make up a knife set, and utensils. All of these items can be bought separately, but when you receive them all, they all coordinate well with each other.
Different Price Points – Make sure you register for items in various price points. You don't want everything on your gift registry to be undoubtedly expensive. Some people may not know you as well, or it just isn't a good time to be spending that much. You can register for vacuüm cleaners all the way to simple salt & pepper shakers. Just make sure there's something for everyone's budget in your gift registry.
Lifetime Of Products – When registering for items, make sure you register for items that will last awhile. You don't want to register for items that may last you a couple of months. Go for quality items, like great knife sets and cookware.
Don't Hold Back – Okay, we're not talking about registering for everything in the store. However, don't feel bad about including bigger items in your gift registry. Your family may want to get you a really great gift or coworkers may want to go in together to get you a nice gift.
Don't be afraid to register for that really nice bedding set or piece of furniture. If guests feel that isn't the gift for them, they don't have to buy it. However, it's a nice option to have on your gift registry if someone does.
Have fun registering for great gift items. It's your wedding day, so register for exactly what you want to make your new home perfect. So, take a break from wedding planning and get out and make a fun day out of registering for your wedding registry.
