Our wedding registry etiquette wasn’t original but we really thought about what gifts to choose to jump start our new life together. During this time, your mind can easily go into fantasy mode about what to ask for. Let’s see… I want a huge flat screen T.V. for sure; and of course I’ll need an audio system so I can here the T.V. properly; and then I’ll need a stand to sit in on and Oh… Don’t forget the chips and the dip while your watching the T.V. It’s human nature to think that way if it’s a wedding or not.

There were so many wedding gifts we could have added to the wedding registry but it wouldn’t have been practical. My mind could have wondered with thoughts getting my first months rent paid or a down payment on a new house. That would be an ideal registry!

What else can I put on the registry while people have their wallets open? Hummmm. Most people don’t think like that but my sense of humor kicks in quite often.  Eventually reality sinks in. We didn’t won’t our wedding registry etiquette to be for frivolous gains.

I’m the type that feels awkward asking for anything to begin. We actually needed a toaster, a tea pot, some silverware and an ironing board and iron along with a few other items. So we registered for wedding gifts we really needed. As a new couple, this is a good time in life to get a lot old things and replace them with new. Start fresh!

Even though I had a lot of those items from my bachelor days, It was nice to start fresh. Chances are, a single guy has pots and pans his mother gave him and blankets he borrowed from home and never returned. When you get new items together as a couple, It’s your opportunity to put away the old and bring in the new together.

We used Create & Barrel for our Wedding Registry and would use them again for sure. While making your wedding gift registry list, you might also think about how much money your wedding guest will have to spend. The lower the cost of the items the more items you’ll get, unless your family and friend are rich.

If you have friends that can afford to pay a little more, by all means, choose up scale wedding gifts on the list. If you have items that cost too much, it could make your guests feel uncomfortable having to come up with the cash. So mix it up by choosing gifts that are not too expensive. Add a few on the high priced list as well and make everyone happy.

I can honestly say we still use those items today. The very last option is to throw out the wedding registry etiquette and ask for cash only. Now that could be interesting. You and your guests could all just go shopping after the wedding. Hummmmmm….

Happy Wedding.
