4 Essential Wedding Registry Etiquette Tips for Brides

by Samantha Leave a Comment

Ah, the wedding registry…most couples will have a wedding registry to let guests know the types of items they need. Guests can then choose the gift they want to purchase from the registry and be sure the couple will love it. It’s a win-win, but there are some etiquette rules involved. Check out these essential tips to make sure you have everything covered.

1. How Many Registries Should You Have?

It can be difficult to have just one registry, especially if you need items from multiple stores. However, traditional wedding etiquette rules suggest that you have no more than 3 registries.

If it’s a must that you have items from multiple stores, choose a universal wedding registry like pickURgift.

2. How to Get the Information Out

Another thing you need to think about is how to get the information to your guests. It’s considered a faux pas to add the registry information to the wedding invitation.

It’s a much better idea to add the links to your wedding website or simply let the information be passed around from guest to guest by word of mouth.

3. The Types of Items You Choose

It’s important that you select a wide range of items to add to your registry. This includes items that fit all budgets.

You never know what a guest can afford to spend, so you want to make sure they have a variety of options available to them. Don’t forget to add practical items to the list when creating your registry. Guests are sometimes willing to spend a little bit more when they know that the item will be put to good use. For example, you can add home renovation fixtures to your registry. When guests see these items on a registry, they know that their money is going towards upgrading your home. Savoy bathroom vanity lighting is a good item to include because anyone who has ever completed bathroom renovations knows just how much new lighting can help with this process.

4. Never Ask for Cash

No matter what you do, you should never, ever ask for cash. This is considered one of the worst offenses you can commit when it comes to a wedding registry.

If guests want to give you cash as a gift, leave that up to them. Also, no matter what they give, you should always receive it with gratitude and grace.

By sticking to these guidelines, you can be sure that you’re following wedding registry etiquette tips for your wedding.
