When you start registering for gifts it’s best to shop by room—bed, bath, living, dining, kitchen, patio and garage. Focus on one area of the house at a time to ensure that you don’t forget something essential. To help streamline the registry process, the folks over at Amazon.com updated their registry section with Room Guides to help couples find the perfect items for their lifestyle. In addition to the Guides, you’ll also find a Similar Registries Tool to help you search for items based on what couples with similar tastes are adding to their registries.
Here are a few registry tips and style ideas to help you get started:
 |
Register together so no one is surprised when the odd appliance or decorative item arrives. |
 |
Register at a variety of price points ($10-$250+) so guests can find something they can afford. |
 |
Larger priced items make great group gifts. |
 |
If you’ve received engagement and shower gifts, make sure to re-register for the wedding, around the time your wedding invitations go out. |
 |
Register for formal china, flatware and stemware because it’s something you’ll never buy yourself and you will use them in the future. |
 |
Ask Mom for her advice—trust me she’ll know what you really do need and what you’ll never us |
 |
Registry information is never included in the wedding invitation. Never. |
