Starting My Registry: Ideas for the Bride?

[lisacb77]

Okay, I emailed my director but thought you guys might have ideas as well. I am in SS1 and have my first registry! I know I can't officially have one until I qualify, but I am having 4 shows this month so no problem there. Last one is on 8/20.

So what can I do with the bride now to start working with her so once I qualify and go live (also have a web site and she's out of town so that works nicely)? I thought I should go ahead and send her a fall catalog and maybe my sample registry brochure and tell her to start picking stuff out.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I would do just that. Give her the catalog and let her complete her wish list. That way, when you are ready to go, so is she.

I liked the idea I heard of giving the bride an itemized receipt to fill out their wishlist. Definately get her excited!

I think you can get around that by going into your website and put it in like you are the bride, put her information in, and then set up her wishlist. You might look up past threads about the registry, I know there was some way someone said that they got around not being able to get the registry in.

There is a "guest shopping list" on CC that I print out and let them mark what they want on it. Then I either make copies of it or type a list of just what she wants and make copies of it for the shower. I have my first one August 12th and that is my plan.

Ok, I found the thread, it was just driving me nuts, lol. Hope this clarifies things.

Thanks Jennifer! A question though...isn't a registry different from a PC wedding shower? This bride is out of town so possibly no shower to go with it. I can add a shower from CC in my web assistant but wasn't sure if that is different?

Thanks!
