The Modern Online Wedding Registry

Marry Me Live Guest Blog

Do you remember when you went to the brick and mortar store to find your place settings that you always wanted, scan them, and then move onto the next coveted item. You could do this at 2, maybe 3 stores max, but if you chose items from too many stores, you would overwhelm your family and friends.

I still get a certain pleasure out of entering stores and going through their inventory, feeling the texture, and looking at the shine, but you no longer need to feel limited to specific store fronts or even household items for your wedding registry.

There are many creative registries that fit the needs of today’s bride…honeymoon registries for travel lovers, and online wedding registries that allow you to add any item from any online store. For example, take myregistry.com or WishpotWedding, both of which provide you with a toolbar widget that you push when you come across an item online that you want to add to your registry.

Wishpot takes it a step further with a search function that enables you to search for a specific item across their product database. This is great if you are not sure exactly what you want.

But, for all of you who are not interested in furnishing your home, or outdoor gardening, there is the Honeymoon registry. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Honeymoon Registries. It is your special time…why not indulge a little after all the stress from the wedding! Some Honeymoon registries include Traveler’s Joy and HoneyMoon Wishes.

Whatever your final decision on wedding registries, just know that there are many options out there. And, it means you get to go SHOPPING!

  • My fiance and I registered at myregistry.com. It’s great so far! We had a honeymoon fund elsewhere but then switched over to myregistry since they too had a cash gift feature and we were able to upload our williams sonoma registry on there too. Love the modern day registry idea – so much more convenient especially for brides to be like me who can’t make up their mind in terms of wedding planning! except for who we want to marry of course … ;)

    I wonder what other bay area brides have used. Also, any bay area brides have recommendations for florists by the way?
