Know about the wedding registry etiquette

If you have seen a wedding registry, then you must be aware of the fact that wedding  couples do ask for frivolous items which they may not need. There is nothing wrong in asking for frivolous items as it’s perfectly human but then they are not the best items for the wedding registry.  If you are on a budget to start then listing the more important items in the registry would be the right option.

There is no point creating a registry on which people frown upon or for the motive of getting frivolous items. The motive for setting a wedding registry is to get the bunch of practical things  to start with the married life.  Listing the most common things used in day to day life like silverware, iron, ironing board, toaster should be on the top priority when creating a registry for a wedding.

For a couple doing well in their financial life, adding any frivolous items will not make much difference however, if you are not doing so good financially then setting a registry can eliminate the need of spending money right after the wedding.

Once you are married there is no point keeping those old items at your place  as it’s always nice to start fresh.  Before marriage you may have all kinds of items borrowed from family or friends. Make a change in your house by donating them all.

Another thing to keep in mind when creating a wedding gift registry is to think about how much your wedding guests will have to spend on the gifts.  Although this is your opportunity to get free gifts but your considerations for this detail will get you rewarded with more of the items you asked for.

If you have friends who can afford to spend a little more on the wedding gift then by all means choose upscale wedding gifts from your registry.  Adding too many expensive items in your registry will make your guests feel uncomfortable about getting a gift from it. Make sure to mix the registry gift items with both expensive and non expensive items.
