Friday Finds: I do sugar wedding registry

1. Before you hit the stores, go through the list with your partner over a warm cup of coffee and determine the items that are applicable to your needs (you may take note of the wants, too). This way, you already have an idea of what items to look for in the stores.
2. Discuss themes and color preferences. With these in mind, you will be more focused when you actually go to the stores to pick out the exact items.
3. Have a wide range of price allocations for your items to make it easier for your guests to select according to their budget.
4. A no-brainer tip, but nonetheless important - choose items that you will actually use. Nowadays, being practical will help stretch your hard-earned money. Asking for an espresso machine, if you are just an occasional coffee-drinker simply does not make sense.
5. Finally, take note that not all items in your registry can be provided by your guests. After the wedding, as you build and nurture your household, you will still be creating wishlists and to-buy lists with your partner. And just like choosing items for your bridal registry, functionality and value-for-money should be your topmost priority.
