When You Should Set Up Your Wedding Registry

There are not many moments in our lives when we can carefully pick out the items we’d like people to buy us for gifts. Usually, we drop subtle hints or just cross our fingers that our friends and family members will pick out something on our mental wish list or that suit our needs and personality.

But when it comes to your wedding, you are allowed to ask for anything and everything that you’d like your guests to buy you as a celebratory gift. Wedding gifts are bought as a way for your guests to say ‘here is a little something that will help you start your life off with your soul mate’.

While there are traditional gifts, like appliances or items for the house, couples can truly register for anything they want, even honeymoon trips and excursions or items for a hobby, like a new guitar or paint set.

That’s why after you get engaged, you may find yourself rushing to head on over to the stores of your choice and set up your registry. If you’re wondering when the perfect time to register for your gifts is, there’s an easy answer. You want to do it before you send out your save the dates and even before you send out invitations to your engagement party. It’s key to know that guests buy things off your registry for pre-wedding events too. They may purchase something off the registry for your engagement party, bridal shower, or even as a pre-wedding gift if they can’t make it on the day of your wedding.

So make this a priority on your wedding to-do list for the first month or two after you are engaged. To get prepared for this, do some research ahead of time so that you can flesh out your registry with many different gift options that fit all different price ranges and are available both online and at local stores – in case your guests want to swing by and check out the present before purchasing it for you.
