With a little creative planning, your gift
registry can reflect your individuality, and you'll be less likely
to end up with a quartet of crockpots. Just follow these basic guidelines
for wedding gift registry, and you'll make things easier on yourself
and on those dying to shop for you.
Mondays through Fridays
Try to visit vendors on a weekday to create your wish-list. The
lack of weekend crowds will allow staff to devote more one-on-one
time with you.
Virtual Visit
If the shop hosts a web site, check it out before making your trip.
Your visit will be a breeze if you have an advance sense of the
wares you want.
Favorite Things
Even if your favorite store doesn't have a formal registry, most
vendors in Juneau are willing to taken an informal plan. Talk to
one of the managers for suggested alternatives.
Money Talks
Keep tabs on your registry items. If a certain price range tends
to sell out more quickly than others, you'll want to have a wide
selection in that cost group.
One Link
Although you might prefer to avoid large chain stores, consider
adding at least one to your registry sites. Guests sending gifts
from afar will find this option helpful.
