1. Your guests will love you! No matter the size or budget of your wedding, registering allows guests the ease and convenience of finding a gift they know you want.
2. It benefits the out-of-towners. They can have it delivered and wrapped, rather than having to travel with it to the wedding.
3. If you are engaged and already live together, congratulations—you are officially the hardest people to buy a wedding gift for! You may already have most household basics in stock, but by registering you can ask for some specialty items your guests might not know you are interested in, which cuts their shopping stress.
4. You’re allowed to splurge on larger, more expensive items. Such choices are perfect for those guests wanting to give a very special gift, or for groups wanting to pitch in together for one big purchase.
5. It saves you time—you won’t have to make trips to the store to exchange duplicates.
6. You no longer have to shamefully lie to your friends and family about how much you really “love” their gifts.
7. Registering lets you keep track of which guest bought what gift—making it easier to write those thank-you cards.
8. You can register as early as your engagement, which ensures that you’ll also receive great gifts for all your pre-wedding celebrations.
9. You have free range to tick off as many items as you want and not look greedy in the process. By signing up for more you’re actually making it easier on your guests by giving them plenty of options.
10. It’s really easy! All you have to do is shop, check it off and let your family and friends do the purchasing.
