I've never actually done one, but know that now that the bridal registry is NOT IN EFFECT, there will be less and less. It is a shame they took that away as I know we are loosing a lot of business without it. Supposedly it may be back with the new program, that was due last summer. Personally, I don't know why they had to take the old one down--"if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I don't do lots of bridal showers (a couple a year) but at my full service check-out it is always one of the things I mention.
