Bridal gift registries benefit both the bridal couple and their guests. Couples have a chance to select items that fit their personal tastes and needs. For guests, registries eliminate the guesswork in selections and make it easier to find gifts that fit their budget.
Computerized kiosks are an added convenience. Couples generally find it fun to inventory stores and make their selections. Wedding planners recommend registering for gifts at least four months in advance of the wedding date. That way, guests have an opportunity to purchase shower gifts from the list, too.
Registries aren't limited to fine china and department stores, either. Registries at discount and home-furnishings stores are growing in popularity.
