When you’re newly engaged, it can be overwhelming with so much to plan. Well, one simple, fun and easy thing to do is start thinking about where you’re going to register. Think about what you need and where you love to shop – both separately and together. Maybe you’re moving in together for the first time and don’t want to bring along the dishes and rugs you’ve had for years.
Or maybe you’ve been living together for a while and already have a complete complement of gadgets. If you don’t need a ton of household items, you might be better off focusing on a honeymoon fund or building the piggy bank for that beach house not too far on the horizon. If you have married friends and family, talk to them about what they registered for and loved or never used. And try to remember registries from when you’ve bought gifts. Which were unwieldy and which made it fun to pick a few items for the grooms (or brides) to enjoy.
If you’re outfitting a new home or revamping your current digs, consider the space room by room. Here’s one of the best opportunities you’ll have to imagine how you want your living room, kitchen, bedroom, and workspaces to look and work.
Although you should dream big for those interested in offering outsize expressions of affection, definitely consider having a wide range of price points for your guests. Yes, the Tiffany & Co. and Le Creuset items can be on your list, but your nephew might only be able to afford dish towels or the neighbors might appreciate an opportunity to provide you a simple Pyrex set for your new abode.
More Content from MetrosourceIn the same way you’ll want to consider what your guests will enjoy about the wedding, think about what will make them feel excited (or overwhelmed) as you shape your registry. While your sister or parents might opt for an expensive piece of furniture, some wedding guests will really get a kick out of picking out three or four items at lower price points perhaps in the hopes that you will remember them fondly as you go about cooking with your new cutting board or making your bed with fresh sheets.
In that spirit, we’ve put together a list of one-stop shops that can be great for organizing registries – and a few specific stores where you may want to take a closer look.
