Wedding registries have a
history of giving invitees the heebie-jeebies due to how much many gifts can
cost. With many people living together before tying the knot guests may wonder
if the couples really need traditional wedding gifts. Items to furnish the home
do not make much sense for couples that already have a house set up. Here are
some tips to help newlyweds receive what they need and guests save money:
Gift card registries allow couples to register and list any stores they enjoy shopping in.
Guests can then choose among the cards listed and choose the amount they would
like to gift. The happy couple can then use the cards to purchase whatever they
need or want. No guest need be embarrassed by the size of the gift or
duplications.
More for less
Couples aren't always comfortable listing some of the things they really want
or need on registries because those things can be very expensive. Gift cards
save money by eliminating shipping, gift-wrap, and even fuel for picking up
gifts. Time is also saved, giving guests less to worry about. Couples can
combine their gift cards to get those expensive items they really need without
feeling as if any one guest put too much into the purchase.
Isn’t cheap a bad thing? Some feel as if purchasing cards are not personal
enough. This isn't true; guests can present the cards in a special envelope,
card or write a letter. Any gift can be personalized and made special. The
most important part of any present is that someone took the time to find the
right thing. If that means seeking out the best card from the couple's favourite
store or website, so be it. Guests do not have to stick to the list made by the
couple; there are other places where gift cards can be purchased – spas,
restaurants, websites and more.
