Introduction to your Registry
The guests you invite to your wedding have it so easy. While you're making phone calls to reception halls, caterers, florists and musicians, running from one appointment to the next for fittings, photographers, videographers and entertainers, your guests barely have to lift a finger other than to mail back their response cards, write the date on their calendars and check to see where you've registered for gifts.
That's the beauty of a gift registry: guests simply choose a gift that falls within their price range, and their work is done.
As a bride- or groom-to-be, however, choosing the items to include on a registry can be quite an ordeal. Often, newlyweds don't realize all the household items they'll need until they really need them. With so many different models on the market, even choosing an appliance as basic as a toaster can be confusing. Then, there are luxury items such as bread makers, ice cream machines and pasta makers.
We've divided up the main areas of the home with special checklists to help you find the items you'll need for your new life together. Take a look with your special someone and choose carefully. One of the greatest gifts of a registry is to be reminded of your loved ones throughout your marriage as you utilize the gifts they've given you.
