Bridai registry aids couple,
guests in pianning efforts

ONE OF the best tools available
for the bride-to-be is the in-store
bridal gift) registry. A service
available at most major depart-
ment stores, the gift registry is a
handy timesaver for the bride and
her wedding guests.

The use of a gift registry sitows
engaged couples to choose specific
items for theirs home before they
are married.

Couples should consider their
individual preferences for their
new home...then decide together
on color combinations for cach
room, as well as china, silver and
casual dinnerware patterns, items
for entertaining...and the right
small appliances for their cooking
styles.

Many gift registries are com-
puterized. Once a couple has made
up their ‘‘wish list,’’ the registry
coordinator at the store inputs that

information into the store’s com-
puter.

Anytime a family member or
friend purchases one of the items
listed for the couple, the list is up-
dated accordingly. This climinates
duplication of gifts so there are
less returns to the store — and that
means less legwork for the busy
couple.

It is important for registering
couples to be as specific as possible
when filling out their registration
form.

Couples should list exact colors,
sizes and all other available infor-
mation for the items on their list.
For exampic, when choosing small
appliances, be sure to specify the
unit’s model number as well ‘as its
brand name and color. It is impor-
tant for guests to know that they
are purchasing exactly what the
bride and groom desire.

Choose items with the complete
room in mind. Keep linens color
coordinated in the bedrooms and
baths.

Choose silver, china and
glassware patterns at the same time
so that they complement one
another as well as the dining room.

In the kitchen, make sure all of
the appliances are in the same or
complementary colors.

Although wedding guests ap-
preciate help in choosing the right
gift for the happy couple,
remember that it is not appropriate
to include this information in the
wedding invitation. It is up to the
couple’s family and close friends
to spread the word about where
they are registered.

Planning a wedding can be easy
when the engaged couple takes ad-
vantage of all of ihe services
available to help them out.
