So does anyone have a good letter to the bride about how to create a wishlist and what to do, including information on the Gift Registry? I can't seem to find one and thought it would be a good thing to include with the catalog. Thanks!:thumbup:
 
You might send a copy of the Well-Stocked Kitchen list and suggest it as a starting point or guide. That is what I usually send. I don't have a formal letter. I just amend my saved main version as needed. But, that sheet can be helpful since it's kind of overwhelming. All of my brides-to-be have either been PC veterans or a close friend or family member helps them. You can offer to sit down with her to help as well. HTH
