Planning a wedding has always been an exciting and sometimes exhausting job. There seems to be an endless to-do list, finding a location, a restaurant, music, dresses, tuxedos, etc. Another task is putting together your gift registry, to help your guests know what you like. In the past this was done in person, the couple, or the bride and her mother, went to a local shop and picked out the china, silverware and crystal pattern. If there were other household items they went on the list too. Then the guests could go to the store, look at your list, and purchase whatever they wanted that was still available.
Today most people, both the wedding couple and the guests, do not have as much free time to go shopping. With the advent of the internet, all kinds of shopping can be done online. The couple can get together and build an online gift registry, the guests can shop from home, and everyone gets a little more free time back.
When the couple builds an online registry they are able to choose items from many different stores, and have more of a variety. While china and crystal are still nice wedding gifts, there is more of a choice online. Some couples do not want an expensive china set, which is often all that was available in the past. They may want sturdier dishes and glassware, items that look nice but can be replaced if broken. They also may prefer a gift of high quality kitchen knives instead of sterling silver they may only use a few times a year.
Creating an online gift registry also brings in items the husband may have more of an interest in. In the past, most of the gifts were for the inside of the home, and since this was a time that most men worked outside the home, while most women worked inside, the gifts were mainly her choice. Today many couples include gifts that the husband picks out like BBQ grills and lawnmowers. And these gifts are definitely easier for guest to buy online, rather than go into the store and have to carry home.
Many couples already have established homes so they may want other items on their gift registry such as travel bags and accessories if they like to travel a lot. Or maybe they like to throw a lot of wine parties, so they would like specialty wines to build a home collection. They may even want books to add to their personal library.
For whatever interests that the couple has, just about any item can be found online. Plus many of these items can be personalised, to add a special touch to the couple’s present. Online shopping is easier for the couple to list just what they need and want, and it is easier for the guests who want to buy a wonderful gift but don’t want to have to run all over the place. Many online stores also offer gift wrapping, so the gift will arrive beautifully and ready to be opened and enjoyed.
