Wedding registry tips and advice

Posted in Engaged, Tips, Tricks and Advice, Tricks and Advice, Wedding Inspiration by Create Awesomeness

If you want to start figuring out what you need to register think about them in different categories. If you already live together or have a lot of items you can upgrade the items to better quality ones that will last a few years.

Kitchen Electrics
Knives
Cookware
Bakeware
Kitchen Tools
Dinnerware
Fine China
Flatware
Glassware
Barware
Table Linens
Bedding
Bath
Decor
Outdoor
Travel
Other: Like items for camping, a bike, dog bed, etc.

TIP: Try to get solid timeless pieces that you can use for years to come. For example solid white plates instead of an abstract flower pattern will be always in style. You can add color and spunk with accessories, place-mats, napkin holders etc.

If you already have everything you need or want something pricey like a $4,000 couch, you can register for gift cards or honeymoon funding websites.

Yes, It’s tacky to ask for money. If you register for a limited amount of items, most people will give cash.

Chose 1-3 stores you like and has most of the items you have on your list. To avoid being overwhelmed, you can create registries online and then go in the store and double check the items and use the fun gun scanner to add to your list. Make sure you can return items within a reasonable time period.

TIP: Don’t just choose expensive items. Have a variety of prices, some low, mostly mid range price and a few high priced to fit every guest’s budget.

Gorgeous Bridal Shower Dresses under $50

Posted in Engaged, Wedding Inspiration by Create Awesomeness

There is no law that says you should wear white- but why not? It’s the only time you can be wearing all the white in the world! Pastel colors are romantic as well.

yes shopping online can be risky and may not fit well, as long as you get it from a retailer that excepts returns you are fine. You can search for white prom dresses or short cocktail dress to add a wider range of variety.

Happy shopping!
