Comments on: Registry Do’s and Don’t’s http://bridalbloggette.com/2010/03/registry-dos-and-donts/ ...blogging our way to married bliss Sat, 29 May 2010 02:16:53 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Sylvia http://bridalbloggette.com/2010/03/registry-dos-and-donts/comment-page-1/#comment-240 Sylvia Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:59:59 +0000 http://bridalbloggette.com/?p=432#comment-240 I agree, registries should really reflect the couple's wants and needs, not those of family members or friends. When we got married everyone was pressuring us to make a standard registry full of china, crystal, and stand mixers. But since we had already lived together for 10 years, we didn't need that kind of stuff. We used myregistry.com to make a honeymoon fund and a home renovations fund and that was it. I'm sure some people were thrown by our non-traditional registry, but in the end the majority of guests contributed to our funds, so it worked out!

That's absolutely crazy about your MIL. Good for y'all for sticking to your guns on the china. You've got to be happy with it. That's the main thing. We went to inspect registry items the other weekend, and I am really excited about it. While I don't know where we will register for china (because we did not find any patterns we liked at Macy's), we found a lot of useful stuff. And I will definitely be taking into account what you have said here about price not being something to worry about. Because on some of the items, we were like, 'No way someone is going to purchase this for us.' Wow. That’s absolutely crazy about your MIL. Good for y’all for sticking to your guns on the china.

That was the least fun for me as well. Even the shooting the gun at the UPC symbols was boring! I felt so guilty about asking for things. We didn't register for china at all, because we're not china people - we're eat in front of the tv with our cute Corelle people. One day I'm sure we'd like to own some but for now, I'm happy. We didn't have anything super expensive on our registry either. We were gifted a Waterford crystal picture frame, and while it's gorgeous, it totally doesn't fit in our house. I suppose when I finally find a Curio cabinet I like, it will look nice there but for now, it sticks out. But yes, the marriage is about the couple coming together - no one else. Oh the registry.

It is great to see how popular the honeymoon registry is becoming. The very first couple that registered with Traveler's Joy was in 2004. It wasn't long until we realized there was a large number of engaged couples that were not satisfied with the diversity of the traditional wedding registry market because our growth has continued to soar since we opened for business. Since then, the honeymoon registry concept has grown to become a mainstream option for brides and grooms and the industry has experienced significant growth. We are proud to have helped tens of thousands of couples honeymoon at destinations they may never have considered - a great feeling for our Members and the Traveler's Joy team. I encourage you to contact us with any questions about our service. Most importantly, enjoy your honeymoon!
