Wedding register: Do's and Don'ts

1. Don't wait till the last minute
Be sure to have your registry in place in time for those pre-wedding celebrations and parties

2. Don't register for gifts you'll never use
Take advantage of your options and register only for items you'll really use

3. Don't forget to say thank you
Notes received on or after your wedding day should be sent within six weeks of your return
from honeymoon. Mention the gift by name. If you were given a voucher it is also nice to
include what you bought with the money.

4. Don't overlook details
Always read the fine print before committing to a registry

5. Don't make it hard for your guests
Make sure the registry is convenient for your guests. Have a registry at a store with a
few branches. Have the option to buy online. And choose items in different price ranges to suit
everyones budget.

6. Do spread the word
Make sure every member of your bridal party and the mothers know where you are
registered and spread the word. It is considered inappropriate to print the details of your
registry on your invitation

7. Do include your fiancee
You must decide together what you need for your house. Register things you both like.

8. Have fun
This is part of the planning for your big day. Listen to each other's suggestions.

9. Do register enough gifts
Base your registry on the amount of wedding guests invited. If you invited 200 people, 50
items om the registry will not be enough.
