It’s
easy to build an online registry. Your
guests can shop from their homes (or phones), which is a huge convenience if
they are out of town. You can select the
items you want in stores and then list them on your e- registry. You can also list your registry on national
sites like theKnot.com, weddingchannel.com if your chosen retailer has a
partnership with those sites.
Once
registered, you can log on to your site anytime to add, delete or change
preferences. You can also see what has
already been purchased. Some sites will
include the information about who ordered what.
That will prove helpful when writing thank you notes. Gift enclosure cards do not always remain
attached to the box containing the gift.
There
are also new sites that specialize in “non traditional” registry offerings. While there is still discomfort around the
concept of “registering for money”, some couples are utilizing these
sites. For couples who prefer to
accumulate cash for a major purchase, there are www.depositagift.com and www.myregistry.com. For couples who may
prefer a fund for the future, there is a website called www.weddingfutures.com that
specializes in gift stocks and/or mutual funds.
Whichever
method you choose for your gift registries, remember that under no
circumstances should those sites be included anywhere in your
invitations. Depend on members of the
wedding party and family to spread the word about your gift registry
preferences.
Don’t
forget that although gift registries now include non-traditional items, gifts
for a lifetime are remembered most.
