Almost every retailer nowadays will offer some form of wedding registry, which is great news for the bride and groom with less than conventional tastes. However, with so many choices, how do you choose the registry that’s best for you? Here are some questions to ask:

1. Which stores best represent my fiance and my taste? Even smaller, local retailers have registries nowadays. Contact these stores first to register. If they don’t have a registry, they will be able to point you toward a retailer with your taste that does.
2. What store rewards are available (i.e. cash back, registry fulfillment)? Competition between retailers breeds innovation, which is great news for engaged couples. Research the stores registry policy. Meet with a consultant who will be able to answer all your registry reward questions.
3. Do they have an online registry? It’s no longer important to choose your registry based on the stores nearby. With the help of the internet, your guests can purchase off your registry from the comfort of their own couch. Of course, this is only possible if the retailer has an online registry.
4. What if we already have everything for our home? The best new trend in wedding registries is the option of setting up a honeymoon registry. Your travel agent will be able to help you set up your registry for your dream vacation. What a great way to start your new lives together!
