Since the
average bride and groom register for gifts as early as six months before the
wedding, savvy guests who know they will be attending spring and summer
weddings can take advantage of being early visitors to the gift registries.
Know that
small appliances, cookware and linens tend to go on sale in early spring. Being alert to those sales can give guests a
good chance to get the couple a special gift at a special price.
According to
The Knot.com, the three top stores couples choose for their registries are
Target, Macy’s and Bed Bath &Beyond.
It makes sense to start collecting coupons from those stores and “like”
them on Facebook for access to additional money saving coupons.
Since many
couples suspect/expect a group gift when they put a big ticket item on their
registry, paying attention to registry lists early enables a family group to
provide that item to the bride and groom by “teaming up”.
Couples with
special interests in key product areas like outdoor activities, camping,
fishing, running or entertainment, gain ground when they register early in the
process.
Couples are
urged to insure that they offer a variety of items in their gift registry
selections for their guests. Items in
several price ranges are encouraged.
We also
remind our brides that it is inappropriate and unacceptable to mention gift registry
locations/choices in the invitation.
News about where a couple is registered should be shared via word of
mouth (attendants, relatives and friends can share the news) or can be listed
in the wedding website if one has been established.
