A useful registry offers guidance without making guests feel obligated to purchase a gift.

Select useful items

Review what you already own before adding new items.

Choose products connected to your home, lifestyle and future plans.

Avoid adding items only because they are traditionally expected.

Offer different price levels

Include affordable, medium-priced and larger options.

Group gifting may be appropriate for more expensive items.

Keep enough choices available as the wedding approaches.

Share information discreetly

Place registry details on an information page rather than the main invitation.

Never describe gifts as required for attendance.

Send a personal thank-you message for every contribution.
