Ever thought about what it would be like to go out and pick whatever you want in a huge store, and then have someone else buy it for you? Sounds like a dream come true right? WRONG! Doing our gift registry at multiple stores has turned into a heck of a time. My fiance doesn't have the patience to walk around for hours picking out towels and spatula's, so it usually ends up with him finding the comfiest bed or chair in the store. Last time it was a full body massage chair...which he thought we should put on the registry.
Surprisingly, some of the items we had the hardest time choosing were the coffee pot and kettle. Who knew there were 10 different types of each? It's something we know will be used often and wanted to make sure we picked one that would best suit our needs. Hello coffee pot timer.



My advice for your gift registry would be to make a detailed list that you can make notes on. You can find a guideline on any wedding website and decide between you and your fiance what you really need or want. Set aside a full day to register so you aren't feeling rushed, or go multiple times for a few hours to break it up a little. It can be stressful, long and boring, but try to have fun with it. Good luck! Got any wedding registry stories?
