The bridal registry replaces the dowries exchanged between families when a marriage occurred in the past. Department and specialty stores of all types now offer the engaged couple an opportunity to chose and pre-plan their home furnishings. They function as a helpful guide for your guests to select gifts for your engagement party, wedding showers and the wedding day.
Bridal registries are a free service that offer you and your fiancé with all the elements necessary to furnish and accessorize your home and lifestyle. Your guests will be confident knowing that their gift will be welcomed and wanted.
If you decide to register at more than one store, be sure to take along a copy to ensure that you don’t duplicate your choices. Coordinate a mixture of price ranges. It is important to keep in mind how you will be entertaining as a couple. Many stores offer computerized registries, which make it practical and convenient for your guests.
