Planning Your Big Day: Wedding Registries
There are a lot of things to consider when planning your wedding and let’s face it, who can ignore the fact that there are presents involved?
Women have a tendency to over think pretty much everything regarding their wedding day; the term “bridezilla” didn’t come out of the sky, you know, and setting up your wedding registry is no different. There are some simple things you can do, however, to make the process of setting up your wedding registry.
First of all, start with the room you get the most excited about when you think about getting shiny, new things for it. If it’s your bedroom, go to the bedroom and take a look around. Take note of what you already have (and like) and think about what you’ve been wanting to add to the room that you haven’t already. If you have some items, like myself, that maybe your parents or your soon-to-be spouse’s parent’s handed down to you, would you like to update them? If so, in what colors or styles? Make a list of items you need as well as what you would like–It’s okay to be a little frivolous; in fact, it’s expected.
After you’ve finished with the room that you get the most excited about, move through the house in the order of what rooms give you that warm and fuzzy feeling and rooms that you would love some new gadgets for. However, it is also expected that you will forget some items that you’ll be kicking yourself later for not adding to your registry, so to help out with setting up your wedding registry, I Do Sugar, part of the Sugar blog network, has made a very convenient wedding registry [PDF] containing items that one can most often easily forget about to make sure that doesn’t happen to you!
You can download the file here; I can’t even imagine the number of sanities this file is going to save when it comes to wedding registry planning!

I would say that
1) Developing a budget saves a lot of stress
2) Decide what YOU want before you start talking to family members and your bridal party. Otherwise, everyone has some kind of problem with your choices.
3) Take care of everything as soon as you can. Make your favors early, make your programs early, anything that can be done in advance, do it! Don’t waste too much time and then spend the week before your wedding scrambling to get things done.
4) Don’t choose people for your bridal party who are irresponsible! It will save you so much grief! gudluck!!!

I recently just had my wedding and went through the whole registry process, it can be quite difficult to figure out what you want to include and what you don’t want to include. The “I Do Sugar” was a great PDF that I used to help as well as using My Wedding and Wedding Channel, which are also both wedding sites that give advice on creating a wedding registry.

I know how overwhelming wedding registries can be. This is just one of the things which engaged couples need to consider when about to be married. Some other key concepts include wedding locations, future home and even things such as health
coverage. But registering for your wedding gifts is definitely one of the more exciting moments to the wedding planning and future marriage.

When me and my wife got married we hired professionals to do the organizatory things for us. We still needed to look after every detail, but this was a huge relief to our families to have the support from professionals. Good luck to anyone who is getting married this year!

It can be very stressful planning a wedding. Remember it takes a year to plan and its over in 8 hours usually. The information on the wedding registries was very good.

Once thing not to neglect is the entertainment. It’s not always easy to find entertainment that will appeal to all age groups at the wedding…
