Maximizing Bridal Registry Benefits: Answers to Common Questions

[Intrepid_Chef]

So my show tonight was disappointing to say the least. 10 guests and yet so far, only 4 orders totaling $135. I am certain it will be a qualifying show by the time we close, but that's really about it.

The host also very recently got engaged and can't afford to buy the cookware that she really needs. She needs to sell her house and buy a new one with her fiance since he needs to live in another town because of his kids.

So now my wheels are turning ... what about a bridal registry?

A few concerns:

Is there any booking benefit associated with it?
What catalog would be used?
Does she need to set a wedding date to set one up and if so, can it change? They haven't set a date yet but they're pretty sure it will be within the next year.

I just really want to help her get what she needs, especially with her starting a new life! She's really sweet and tried her best!

1. Yes, there is a booking benefit for a wedding registry. Just put her as booking from herself.
2. You would use the new catalog, as that's when the registry will be active.
3. I'm pretty sure you can set one up without an official wedding date - meaning, you can put SOMETHING and then when she has one nailed down you can change it.

Offer her a PC Bridal Shower instead of a registry. I find showers do a LOT better. Ask her who will be throwing her shower and see if you can speak with that person about it!

I'm pretty sure there isn't a booking benefit with a registry. I don't see how it would work. Wait until tomorrow to set it up. It is open for a year after the wedding so each season they delete anything discontinued and she can add whatever new things she wants. She will get an email advising her of that. Yes, the date can change if it needs to but you do have to put a date in to open it.I agree about the shower. Couples get much more with a shower than with registries. They are usually registered other places too and not that many people pay attention to it unless the guest is a PC junkie or the person the guest asks about gift choices is promoting the registry.
