If you are planning a destination wedding or have quite a few out-of-town guests attending your wedding, it’s important to keep that in mind when choosing where to register for wedding gifts. The point of a registry is to make gift shopping easier for your guests – and if Uncle Bob is flying in just hours before the wedding – chances are he isn’t going to want to run around town just to make sure the Waterford Crystal vase he gives you is from your list. There really is no point in a registry if your guests can’t get to it.

Fortunately, the number of sites offering online registry services is growing quickly. Today, you can register for almost anything – from the traditional Denby China Dinnerware right down to your honeymoon! Many retailers are also offering their registries online as well. Often, these registries will give your guests the option of purchasing from your list and having the item shipped straight to you – saving them from having to worry about stepping off the airplane with a suitcase full of shattered Lalique Crystal.

Is your registry “guest friendly”?
