Recently engaged? We talked to eregistry.com—a site that offers a complete range of gifts, cash and philanthropic gift registry solutions—about the top three things you should do once you’ve said "yes."
Tell the World
This is one of the most exciting times of your entire life. You and your fiancé should share your joy with friends, families, co-workers and anyone else who will listen. Yes, eventually it will get old. But at the beginning, revel in the joy of knowing you are going to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. Call your friends, change your Facebook status and send a message on Twitter.
Create a Web Page
With so much going into a wedding these days, creating a web page will enable your family and friends to keep up with you without having to constantly call, text and email. There are many free services out there, but the best ones will offer tools that incorporate every aspect of your big day—your registry, photos, schedules, RSVP responses, etc. It should also be a breeze to customize your web page with your own look and feel, story and personality.
Start a Registry
There are many events leading up to the wedding that are gift-worthy. Some people will want to get you something right away, especially if your wedding date is far off. There are so many online registry options available today that it can sometimes feel overwhelming to pick the right one. Yet, there are three things that all engaged couples should expect from their registry: unlimited gift options, ability to register for monetary gifts, and ability to donate to charity. Starting a gift registry and tracking your gifts is fun, so don’t let a day of that pass you by.
