Tips for Setting Up a Bridal Registry: When to Do It and How to Make It Special

[klstaz]

My sister is planning to get married this summer. She is going to set-up a bridal registry with me.
I was wondering should I have her do it now or wait until after March 1st so the new stuff is avaliable?
This will be the first registry I have done so I am clueless as to how to have her do it. When we do her Bridal shower I was going to do it Pampered Chef Style. Does this have an effect on her registry? Any info would be helpful.

Thanks.

I'm new to this too. But do you know if a register can be updated at all? If so, have her register now from the F/W catalog. Maybe some people want to buy early and then update it after the S/S comes...

Yep, she can go back in and add any new spring products that she wants later. So I would have her go ahead and register now. Although, let her know that any of the items being discontinued would have to be purchased by the end of Feb or they'll be taken off the registry. HO contacts you to let you know when this happens.

When you have a bridal shower those sales count as one "show" and the registry counts on it's own. So if she has a $500 show and $500 bought from her registry it wouldn't count as a $1000 show. She would get host benefits on the shower and separate host benefits on the registry.

This really isn't bad, because benefits stop at $1000 on the registry, so having the shower gives her a second opportunity at those benefits. KWIM?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Sometimes I wonder if I understand this all correctly.
