Look for perks
Limit the number of registries to just a few stores or even one only store. A great way to decide where to register is to look for perks for both you and your guests. Consider benefits for your guests like online shopping and direct shipping. For example, Wayfair makes it SO easy for you to manage your registry and for your guests to order online! They offer free shipping, free returns, group gifting (major bonus!), completion discounts (an extra 10% off), a registry checklist for you to stay organized and SO much more!

Register early
You can (and should) start registering soon after you get engaged. It's helpful for guests purchasing gifts for pre-wedding festivities, like an engagement party, bridal shower, etc. And you'll get more items from your wish list. Win-win!

Visit in person
Don't rely solely on pictures, it can be very beneficial for you to check out the product in person just to triple check that you love it! The items on your registry should reflect the quality and style you want in your home. The best way to guarantee you'll love them is to see and compare in person. How else are you supposed to pick the perfect sheets?
