The Importance of Bridal Registry
Yes, before you ask this is a screenshot of Macy's Black Friday Sale November 3, 2021, I am using this photograph, it reminded me of the Importance of Pricing your Bridal Registry.
Planning a wedding is one of the funnest most stressful times in a persons life. Why then do we take the time to “Bridal Registry”? Why do we ask people to purchase wedding gifts for us that we don’t really want? What if I Bridal Registry and no one purchase what I want? How do I know what I need. Here are some times MK Pure Diamond Events suggest to couples planning on having a wedding.
Sit in your parents kitchen and think of the items you have used and make a list. (Mom and Dad always did everything for you?) It’s a good time to learn a new skill set. Start doing for Mom and Dad and learn what works for you.
Cook them a recipe and try what they have an then find you own by registering for items.
Why does a bride register for gifts?
This tradition has been around since 1924, it began by Marshall Fields. This tradition was for couple to register for china, silver and crystal patterns. While the bride and groom and parents are paying for the expense of the wedding, dinner and parties their friends and family help the bride and groom begin their life together by purchasing items that they will need and some they won’t.
What is important to understand when registering for a wedding.
The importance of registering at more than one locations. Macy’s, Target, Saks, Walmart. Bath, Bed, and Beyond, Best Buy all have Bridal Registry.
This allows flexibility for your guest. By you being considerate and understand that you might be paying $150 a plate for the reception the guest your inviting might not be able to pay you back a $150 dollars, therefore this allows a guest to purchase for you what they can afford. I understand that some Brides and Groom think that the gift and the money they are spending should be equal. It doesn’t work that way. You are choosing to spend that on your wedding. They are your guest. The word guest is enough to explain the meaning.
I know this might sound terrible to some people, there are things that are just reality. Throughout a persons lifetime, there have been times I have been able to afford expensive gifts for brides and grooms and times a person might not be able too. That’s why I suggest mix it up. Although I realize there are moments in planning your day you’ll question your judgement believe me it is better for a friend to attend and not go into debt that to force them into debt for selfish reasons.
If your goal is for family and friends not to purchase traditional registry gifts than think out of the box. Consider asking your bank or lending institution if your guest could gift cash that will help pay your home loan.
