How Does It Work if a Bride Has a Registry and a Shower?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A bride can benefit from both a bridal shower and a registry, but she cannot count the same gifts for both events, as this constitutes double-dipping. It is advisable for guests to purchase gifts at the shower to utilize show shipping benefits. The recommended approach is to hold the shower first and then set up the registry for any remaining items. If time does not permit this sequence, the bride should promptly update the registry after the shower to reflect what was received.

If a bride has both a shower and a registry, can she receive benefits from both events?
 
Yes and No. She can get the host benefits from the shower and benefits from the registry, but you can't count the same purchases for both. It would be double-dipping.Does that make sense?It's better for the guests if they purchase things at the shower, since they can take advantage of show shipping.
 
What I would do is have the shower and then set up the registry with whatever they didn't get. If that is not possible due to time constraints, make sure you update the registry asap after the shower.
