When planning your wedding it is rather important to think about how you would like to work your gifts situation. All of us would love to be perfectly polite, shrug and say “but I don’t expect any gifts”, but this would just be silly and much to the frustration of your guests. Have you ever been to a wedding where the bride and groom don’t have a wedding gift registry and just not known what to get? I’m sure many wedding guests have experienced just that!

Choosing a wedding gift registry would really be the most responsible thing to do. These days it is considered quite acceptable to request that your guests make monetary contributions to the bride and groom instead of gifts – especially if the couple have already been living together and furnished their home.

You will find that when signing up for a gift registry you will be given options to choose from so as to keep the list reasonable and cost effective for your guests. Also remember that guests can always choose to buy you a gift that is not on the list.
