Gifting and Giving – Personalize your Registry!
A Bridal registry is an important part to any wedding. I know, I know, that a registry is not part of the ceremony, the reception, the food, the drink, the dress fitting, the flowers, or the Honeymoon. However, your family and friends want to give you a gift celebrating your new lives together. A registry is very important to them.
Depending upon your age at the time of your wedding the needs are completely different. Keep that in mind and make sure that your registry best reflects what you want to receive. Remember, registering is not selfish. It is a gift that you give to your gift-givers.
Boutique Gift Store Registries are a new and up and coming trend. Typically these are stand-alone gift shops that provide gifts but also one on one personal service with your selections and will also offer you an entirely different selection of gifts from which to choose than the Big Box Retailers. Find your favorite local gift store and go from ‘must have’ to ‘really would love to have’…you will be so glad you did and so will your guests that feel more comfortable in a smaller setting with an associate readily available to offer assistance as needed.
Here are just a few examples of items that are offered for your registry at a Boutique Gift Store:
This gorgeous H. Shadron hand-painted bowl is made by a southern artist who now resides in St. Simons. You may select your bowl size and color. Heather will carve yours and your husband’s names and wedding date into this lovely bowl. It is food safe, decorative, and truly unique.
How much time did you spend finding the perfect wedding invitation? Have one to save forever by having it engraved into this special square plate. It can be hung on a wall, placed in a plate stand or put on a coffee table. Your invitation means a lot to family and friends. This invitation will mean more to you as the years go by.
This glass bowl is hand-blown by Simon Pearce in Vermont. The lovely etched-edged signature bowl is stunning. Again capturing your names and wedding date, this lovely bowl is a timeless piece to share in your new life with family and friends.
Do you love to entertain? Do you want something a little more sophisticated to show off your new abode after the honeymoon? Select from this gorgeous line of barware from Julia Knight. There are many colors and styles from which to choose. This unique designer serveware is one of a kind and will be a true conversation starter for years to come.
Your registry is really gifts to you and a gift to your gift-givers. They want to make sure that you receive what you really would like to have. A boutique store registry will make everyone happy.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
