I remember when I was growing up (and that really wasn’t very long ago), that whenever my parents would go and buy a wedding gift from a registry, they would go to a fancy, upscale department store and spend a good deal of money on the gift. In fact, from what I understand, back then the places most couples did their wedding registries were in upscale parts of some of the more expensive department stores. This just isn’t the case anymore. These days, brides are registering for gifts at a wide variety of stores. In fact, Target is quickly becoming one of the most popular places for couples to have their wedding registry. A Target wedding registry has some great benefits that will attract lots of attention from couples, but you need to be careful, or you could wind up in a big mess later on.
Target Wedding Registry - Why it’s so Great
Having a Target wedding registry is great for your wedding guests who may have a pretty tight budget. You can get some really chic looks for a lower price than you would a fancy department store. Not only that, but their online registry is perhaps the most popular of all. Brides love having a Target registry because of the popular designs and colors their store’s have in stock, plus the fact that not everything they are registering for is overpriced. You really can’t beat it. Plus, Target’s wedding registry offers a lot of great benefits such as checklists, and tips and tricks to help you have a smooth wedding day.
Target Wedding Registry - Why You Need to Watch Out
Target has recently adopted a pretty strict return policy which can seem to treat their customers like thieves and liars. I’ve heard many many horror stories about not only their return policy, but also their registry malfunctioning. For example, instead of just scanning the bar code of the item and the bar code of the couples name, the store also requires that you circle the items, but they don’t tell the customer or YOU about this. Then, when it is not done, there is a huge chance that the item will still show as available in your wedding registry. Then, because of Target’s return policy, many couples get stuck being unable to return duplicate sets of gifts. This is not a situation you want to get stuck in, especially if you want to use Target exclusively for your wedding registry.
So, while a Target wedding registry may seem like something of a dream to you, you really need to tread carefully in this area. The last thing you need is a battle between yourself and Target once you get back from your honeymoon. My advice, if you must do Target then limit your Target wedding registry to just a few items that you like, and leave the majority of items to another, more wedding registry store. If you’ve used a Target wedding registry in the past and loved it or had problems, please write in and let me know… I appreciate all comments!

In the past, couples got married earlier, usually moving straight out of their parent’s home to a new home in married life, and didn’t have a lot of their own stuff for starting a new home. But now, people are waiting longer, often having their own homes before marriage, and once they decide to get married, both the husband and wife may find themselves with the dilemma of having two of everything. Maybe everything you have is hand-me-down, you want or you just want all new stuff. But now you’re wondering, can my wedding registry ask for all new stuff?
