Creating your wedding registry isn’t just about compiling a wish list of things for your home. This is also a perfect time to discover your style as a couple, talk about your entertaining priorities, and gear up for life after “I do.” The trick is to get gifts you love and will use for a lifetime.
Here are four tips to help you get started, remember, when selecting items think long-term and not just of your immediate needs as a couple.
Stay True to Yourself
Stay true to yourself and your style as a couple. 
You don’t need to register for every ‘must-have’ item. Before you get started, sit down as a couple and discuss what you want and need for your home – the last thing you want to do is register for items you won’t use.
Start as Soon as Possible
Set up a registry as soon as you can. Guests can use the registry to select gifts for pre-wedding celebrations, such as showers and engagement parties, as well as for the wedding.
Vary Price Points
Give your guests options. Register for items at a variety of price points. Keep in mind that your family and friends will have different price points and that some people may want to team up to purchase a higher-priced gift.
Quality Control
Ensure that the items selected are the right quality by checking them out in person or checking out reviews online. Also, ask family and friends what they think. Be resourceful.
Online Registry
So have you ever heard of an online registry? Well with the world of technology at our fingertips we are able to make our lives easier by just clicking away, but be warned, don’t be a victim to online scams where you have won a FREE trip. Nothing is free. Remember, once you register your wedding information on a site, it becomes public information. This information can be bought by companies to try to sell you something that you don’t want. Search online for reviews.
