Wedding registry is more and more becoming a common way for grooms and brides to be on making gift-buying a simplified task for their wedding guests. The basic steps are simple, the couple registers with suppliers, specialty stores or shops, chooses some items to put in their “wish list”, couple informs their guests of their wedding registry and if guests would want to have an easy gift buying experience they would visit the stores and check out the couple’s wedding registry.
However, some people have the notion that it is like “forcing” your guests to buy you something in specific or dictating what your guests should give you. Although gift giving is a free-will pointing out the registry make feel more insistent that an independent choice.
The advantages of having a wedding registry are:
• You (as a guest and gift giver) would be sure that the couple would love what they see under the gift wrap;
• The gift would certainly something that the couple would use (and not recycle for somebody else’s wedding or Christmas present);
• Your guest would stress out less trying to figure out what kind of gift to give.
The most common drawbacks (and perhaps misconception) about having a wedding registry are:
• Guests who cannot seem to afford the price tags in the couple’s chosen store are left on a tight dilemma (about giving what the couple wishes for and stretching their own budget);
• Some guests might feel as if the couple is dictating them what they want to receive;
• The couple would already be in a state of expectation that they would receive something of this and that kind.
The big thoughts on wedding registry issue are:
• Is it polite for couples to impose to their guests what they want to receive?
• Even if it is not mandatory for guests to buy something from the register, is it proper to put the pressure on your guests by creating a registry?
