Selecting a bridal registry early in the wedding planning cycle can easily be one of your most enjoyable and exciting planning functions. Bridal registries are a free service available at many of your town's finer department and speciality stores. It affords you the opportunity of pre-planning your new home furnishings and guarantees that you'll be receiving truly welcomed gifts from your friends and relatives. You should select your bridal registry as soon after you become engaged as possible. It will function as a helpful guide for selecting gifts for your engagement parties and, of course, the wedding. The proper etiquette for informing your guests about your selected bridal registry is to request your bridesmaids, mothers and relatives to spread the word. It is also proper to include the phrase 'Registered at ________' on your wedding present list - which may be included with your invitations but it is NOT proper etiquette to print this information on your actual invitations. Your bridal registry consultant is more than a salesperson. She can help you with coordinating all the elements that go into furnishing and equipping your first home. Selecting the items to furnish your new home should be a joint effort between you and your fiance. Your guests may then be confident that their gift will be welcomed and wanted. Most importantly, you are allowing your guests to help you and your groom build the sets of china, sterling and crystal that will be with you throughout your lifetime. Todays registries offer you choices from practically every department of the store - crystal, china, housewares, bath accessories, small appliances, furniture, luggage, perhaps even electrical tools. Let your needs and wants guide your choice. Some stores now have computerised registries which make it even easier to prevent duplication and to inform your guests, especially those shopping in branch stores, of your preferences. With your groom, consider these categories. Note the quantities, sizes and colours or patterns of items you'll need for your new home.
