When you\u2019re looking forward to your wedding day, one of the most enjoyable first tasks that bride and groom share is creating a bridal registry, <\/em><\/strong>and in today\u2019s wedding world it\u2019s become quite common to establish multiple<\/em> gift lists for guests to look at as they decide what to get you for your engagement party, bridal shower<\/a>, <\/em><\/strong>or wedding gift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating a bridal registry <\/strong>is, according to wedding etiquette experts<\/strong>, a service to the wedding guests as much as it is a treat for you. After all, wedding guests want to get you the things you need and want for your home and lifestyle. They enjoy clicking onto your bridal registry<\/strong>, seeing the items you\u2019ve selected, learning your style, and purchasing from your list.<\/p>\n

Here are the top new bridal registry trends<\/strong> as reported by so many of our New Jersey brides and grooms: <\/em><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0 Create two to three different registries. <\/em>Start with the traditional home d\u00e9cor and kitchen registry, and continue on to set up a list at a home improvement store (such as Home Depot or Lowes) to help you redecorate or remodel your home, or create a beautiful garden and backyard. You might create a honeymoon registry, <\/em><\/strong>or a charitable registry<\/strong> where guests can get you an exotic treat for your getaway, or donate to your favorite cause.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Upgrade your housewares.<\/em> Couples want the good<\/em> chef\u2019s saucepans and carving knives, or high thread-count sheets, so they\u2019re registering for the newest and best items on the market.<\/p>\n

3. Register for all seasons.<\/em> When you\u2019re adding sheets and bedding sets to your wedding registry <\/strong>list, be sure to register for lightweight fabrics that will be most comfortable during the spring and summer, as well as for heavier fabrics, blankets and throws for the cooler fall and winter months. <\/em><\/p>\n

4. Register for electronics.<\/em> Now, bride and groom registry picks <\/strong>include Energy-Star\u2122 kitchen appliances, GPS systems, security systems and other electronic gadgets that make their homes comfortable and energy-efficient, and add to an exciting lifestyle in the future. <\/em><\/p>\n

5. Register for entertaining.<\/em> Our New Jersey wedding couples love to entertain, and they envision a future married life in which they\u2019ll host holiday dinners<\/strong> and throw dinner parties, <\/strong>showing off their gourmet cuisine. <\/strong>If you dream of entertaining, add plenty of serving platters, barware, glassware, wine decanters, sangria pitchers and other entertaining musts to your bridal registry <\/em><\/strong>gift lists.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to keep adding items to your bridal registry gifts<\/strong> lists all throughout your engagement season, so that guests have plenty of affordable options, and so that you get plenty of chances to enjoy the fun of registering for wedding gifts<\/strong> together. Many official registries also have \u2018completion programs,\u2019 offering you 10% or 15% discounts on the gifts that remain on your list after the wedding, so when you add additional wedding gift<\/strong> items to your list, you can get them more affordably later on.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n
