Before You Register: The Six Things You Must Know

Registering is just like shopping, right? Wrong. Follow these six tips to ensure that you get great gifts and keep your gift givers happy too.

Do register
You've been living together for years and you have two of everything. The fact of the matter is that people want to buy you gifts. If you're really dead-set against getting a lot of new stuff, register at a shop with a great exchange policy and plan on a year's worth of weekend shopping excursions.

Register for more than you think people will buy
Many brides and grooms are surprised at the sheer number of gifts they receive. Many invited guests that can't attend send gifts. Out of pure joy and exuberance, some family friends and work colleagues who are not even invited, might spring for gifts. Believe it. Enjoy it. Register for a lot.
