To avoid duplications and to make gift giving easy for your guests, be sure to register your choices of decorative accessories for your table and home, as well as dinnerware, flatware and stemware. The bridal gift registry is a free service offered by many jewelry and gift specialty stores. Since these stores specialize in bridal services, they can be instrumental in ensuring that you receive a successfully coordinated array of gifts.
They generally offer the following services:
Free in-store consultation by registered bridal consultants.
Many prestigious lines of china, silver and crystal.
Quality merchandise and accessories for your table and home.
Liberal exchange policies in case of duplicate gifts.
Wide selection of attendants' gifts.
Wedding invitations and paper trousseau selections, plus professional advice about protocol.
Pleasant surroundings for shopping.
The store's bridal consultant will guide in the selection of your table appointments and accessories. Your objective will be to obtain harmony in your choice of fine china, ageless silver and brilliant crystal. Harmony in table settings may be defined as "fitting together" or a feeling of oneness. By choosing patterns that complement one another, you will achieve this goal and also have fun in making your selections.
Today almost every type of store offers a bridal registry. Smart is the bride who confines her choices to only two or three stores. This practically assures her that she will receive enough of her choices to use immediately in her own home rather than an array of mismatched items with nothing completed.
