Can Purchases at a Bridal Show Count Towards an Online Registry?

[ChefJeniLobdell]

I have a client who booked a cooking show from me last month. The show date is Monday, April 9th. Her brother is getting married on the 12th.

The client would like to host a Bridal show. Her sister-in-law to be has registered on line. The brother and sisterinlaw live in England. Most guests that are attending the wedding, and possibly the bridal show on the 9th are in the process of traveling or leaving shortly for Florida.

The guests won't really have time to view the registry on line before the show. If they purchase items for the bride at the show, can the bride get credit for them on the registry to earn free products? I am not sure how to handle this.

HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

Hopefully I am not confused and/or I won't confuse you with my answer - but here goes:

The bridal show and the registry are two completely different animals. You can have the bride get the host benefits from the show for purchases made at the party - but they do not count towards the registry. (however you will want to go into the registry and mark down what they receive at the party so there won't be duplicate gifts)

I have done showers where the bride gets the host benefits, but I set up the person who actually had the party (in this case the sister) as a co-host so they can at least get a discount and free shipping. I think that is a nice way to thank them for having the party too...

Hope this helped to answer your question!

It did. Thanks.

This is my first bridal registry so I hope that some of the guests have time while they are here in the U.S. to purchase something for them from the registry.
