I have to admit, taking care of your wedding registries is one of the most fun parts of wedding planning that you’ll get to do. Even if you don’t really like shopping ( which I don’t), it’s still kind of fun to go around the store with your scanner and your fiance and pick out stuff for your new home together. Plus, one of the great things about wedding registries is that there really isn’t a limit on how much you register for, the number of stores you register at, or what is in your wedding registry. So basically that means, the sky is the limit. Of course, if you’re having a teeny wedding with only 50 in attendance, it wouldn’t make much sense to register at four different stores for hundreds of items. Wedding registries are a great way to tell your guests what you’d really like to have for your new home together, and wedding guests will typically appreciate not having to think of a gift themselves. Traditionally, wedding registries only consisted of dishes and linens, kitchen appliances and other odds and ends, that isn’t the case anymore. There are lots of different types of wedding registries that you can go for, which can really come in handy when you’re looking at your wedding registry.
The Traditional Wedding Registries
As I mentioned above, traditional wedding registries consist of handy items for the home’s function and decoration. This includes silverware, dishes, table linens, bath linens and towels, kitchen appliances, and other cooking utensils. Typically, this is still the most popular kind of wedding registry.
Entertainment Wedding Registries
It’s a known fact that couples are getting married later in life than they used to. Therefore, many couples already have the items they want or need for their new home together. Therefore, many couples choose to have an entertainment wedding registry. Entertainment wedding registries can include televisions, DVD players, DVD’s, board games, video games, sound systems, or more.
Wedding Registries for Tools
Another popular wedding registry that many couples are looking into is creating a wedding registry for tools and power tools. This is helpful if the couple plans on re-vamping their home and doing some home repairs. It can include gift certificates to home repair stores, and much much more. This can be very handy for the fixer-uppers some couples seem to love.
Wedding Registries for Money
Many couples who already have everything they need for their new home can also create a wedding registry which basically just asks for money for a particular purchase they plan to make. Many loan companies and honeymoon packages can set up accounts where your guests an go make make donations towards the honeymoon of your dreams or towards the down payment for a new home.
Wedding Registries for Charity
This is something I ran into a while ago that didn’t even know existed. If there is a charity you feel very strongly about, there are some charities that can set up a wedding registry for your guests to donate money to your favorite charity in lieu of gifts.
There is a lot to consider when it comes to creating your wedding registries. Some guests may be offended if you only ask for cash, so it would be a good idea to create a traditional wedding registry as well for wedding guests who would prefer to buy a gift that will last instead of donating money.
