Now that you have decided to get married, it is important that you learn how to make a Wedding Registry. It may seem simple at first, but if you don't do it well you may regret it later. Remember that some items on this list will accompany you in your first years of marriage. That's why you need to pay attention to some details that we're going to talk about here.

You need to keep in mind that the Wedding Registry is more about the bride and groom than the guests. Many brides and grooms make their lists worried about what their guests will think of their gifts. This is not the way! You should think about what you guys need and make the list accordingly. Guests have the choice to give what they want or can give.

Learn how to make a Wedding Registry

There are some steps you need to follow when making your wedding registry. The first is to choose a store specializing in this subject or an online platform that provides this specific type of service. This choice is very important because you and your guests need to be safe when purchasing too.

Another important point is to define the budget and style of the desired products. We know that it is not possible to furnish the entire house with the wedding registry, so you need to be objective. Choose which types of products you will make available and their value. However, don't forget to prioritize your desire.

An important tip is to invite friends and family to contribute to the wedding list. For those who are closest to you, you can suggest that they give you the most expensive gifts. If they have the means, of course. Once you get the big ticket items in that inner circle, the list becomes more viable for other guests.

Finally, keep your wedding registry up to date to avoid repeating gifts. This is very important! Well, you may need to spend time and energy to resolve this issue later. And another important thing is to remember to thank each guest who selects a gift from the list.

Choosing products from the Wedding List

When you get to this part, you need to pay close attention to what is really important to you. If you don't have experience with housekeeping, seek help from someone who knows about it. Because, by doing this, you guarantee that you will make the best choices and have your home supplied with what you need. So, let's move on to the products.

When choosing products, you can divide them by categories. This way you will have greater organization and ensure that you won't forget anything. See the suggestion below:

  1. Household Appliances: Here you can provide a stove, refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, iron, etc.
  2. Home decoration: This category includes furniture, paintings, curtains and others.
  3. Kitchen utensils: What guests give most are pans, cutlery, glasses, crockery sets and other things.
  4. Electronics: Television, stereo, Home Theater, etc. There are some very chosen options.
  5. Items for the bedroom: furniture such as wardrobe, bed and dressing table. In addition to bedding, pillows, duvets and others.
  6.  For the bathroom: Items such as towel sets, shower curtains, mirrors, etc.
  7. Honeymoon trips and other experiences as a Wife's day.

Encourage guests to give gifts

It is very important that you clearly communicate wedding registry information to guests. Be clear and objective. Additionally, offer varying product price options to suit all budgets. There's no point in inviting people with budget X and making gifts available to those with budget Y, right? Hit the target!

However, do not make excessive suggestions or pressure on your guests. Remember that it's your wedding and everyone wants to contribute to your happiness, so they give gifts. It's not a question of obligation, it's about affection. Added to this, offer the possibility of purchasing together or giving money as a gift. There are always those who don't want to bother going to the store or visiting the website. For these, send the PIX!

When to send the Wedding List?

I can't say there is a rule for sending the wedding registry, but it is usually sent about 3 to 6 months before the wedding date. This gives guests enough time to plan and choose a gift. However, it may vary depending on the logistics of each wedding. It is important to inform in advance so that guests have enough time to organize themselves. 

In short, it is important that you learn how to make a Wedding Registry. But, as it is something very particular to each person, it is difficult to give an opinion on how it should be. However, there are some things that are common to all marriages and we talk about them here. The objective is for you to use this wedding list manual and adapt it to your reality. And be very happy in your marriage.
