  • Wedding registry: The gift of art

    Tue Oct 16 07:18:00 PDT 2007 AisleDash

    Filed under: Gifts and RegistriesWhen my husband and I got married, we registered for all the usual things: dishes and flatware and crystal and linens. Thirteen years later, we have broken all the wine glasses, worn out the towels, and packed away the china. The things we are still enjoying are not things from the traditional registry but various pieces of art that friends and family chose for us. My mother registered us at a small gallery that she still frequents today; other guests relied on their knowledge of our tastes to select various things -- vases and small statuary and one-of-a-ki...

  • New Online Wedding Registries

    Wed Nov 19 02:30:56 PST 2008 Brendas Wedding Blog

    I've received several emails in the past few days about new registries and wanted to share them with you. The first gift registry is from Lucas and his newlywed wife who started Wedding Registry Direct. The idea for this registry came to them while planning their own wedding. They thought, "Wouldn't it be awesome if we could register for products from our own vendors?. That way our guests at our wedding could buy us extra flowers or a photograph book instead of just a blender." With this type of registry, couples register for personalized gifts from their own wedding vendors. I think this typ...

  • The Very Best Wedding Registries

    Tue Dec 11 14:20:07 PST 2007 BrideZilla

    It's common knowledge that Bridezillas aren't wild about surprises, whether they're in the form of your caterer notifying you at the last minute that the lobster shipment didn't arrive on time and they'll have to substitute monkfish, or your out-of-touch aunt gifting you with coral-colored culottes she found on the Dress Barn sales rack. This is why registering for wedding gifts is one of the very finest times in a Bridezilla's life - finally, a guarantee that you'll love (and even - gasp - use) the gifts you're getting!
