I'm so confused

sandyculver · 06-11-2009, 03:53 PM

Can someone please explain the wedding registry to me? Here is where I am confused:

I thought it was just like a registry at say Target - the registry gets created, the guest buys the item and the item gets shipped to the bride/groom.

I don't understand the whole bridal shower/wedding registry at all. My director has tried to explain it to me and I think I am more confused than I was to start with.

Please help or point me in the right direction for some help.

Showers and registries are two separate things. A registry is just as you thought. Set up registry, guests purchase gifts, Bride/Groom receive gifts.

A Bridal Shower is a fancy spin on a cooking show. The guests buy gifts for the Bride/Groom (and they can also buy for themselves to boost sales), and often the Host gives the Host Benefits to the couple too.

While you can use the Registry list to show the guests what items the couple would like, a purchase cannot be credited towards both. Either it is an order on a Bridal Shower and counts towards the Host benefits, or it is a purchase off the registry and counts towards the Registry Rewards.

Does that help?

But the registry rewards are basically the same thing as the hostess rewards - she gets free products based on the sales from her registry. And her registry is set up on my personal website right?

Thank you guys so much. I think I finally get it. Now, I just have to go find some brides.

One question along these lines. If an item is purchased at the shower is there a way to remove it from the registry so the bride doesn't get two of the item in question? I understand that the shower and registery are two seperate things.

You can access the registries as a consultant through CC and add or delete items.

You can go in as the consultant and edit the wedding registry. I did this after the bridal shower. It's amazing, once I clicked that she had gotten some items, others started coming in. I'm not sure if people were hesitant to order first or what.
