Wedding Gift Registries
Bad
Gift Burn n.
1. an unpleasant sensation brought on
by the acceptance of inappropriate or horrible presents.
2. a reason to plan a gift registry.
Making a list of wedding gift ideas is
a great way to while away the afternoon with your other half – and it’ll help
prevent that common post-Christmas phenomenon of Bad Gift Burn. So, if you
don’t fancy the idea of coming home from the honeymoon to a bizarre collection
of antique elephants, towels in a shade that could only be described as
unsightly, or his-and-hers matching toilet brushes, get planning!
For any other occasion, giving a gift
of homewares is a political quagmire that most people wouldn’t want to get near
with a proverbial bargepole. But none of the normal rules apply when compiling
a gift registry. Deep down inside all of us, there is a tiny Stepford Wife
who’s been aching to get out and polish the silverware. This is her moment. So
grab your best matching shoes and bag and go window shopping. We won’t tell anyone.
We promise.
Read through the guide to compiling the
perfect wedding gift registry for wedding
gift ideas. Find out for gift registry items from brands like Royal
Doulton, Tefal and Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Albert.
Try and select a wide range of gear
that would be fun to give – and affordable for a range of incomes. Go for
things you wouldn’t normally buy yourself – and above all, go for things you
really, really want. If the idea of having everything matching frightens you,
think about ‘complementing’ instead. 
But
don’t stop there!
But
don’t stop there!
Where homewares will provide you with a
great stash of things you might never have bought yourselves, tickets can
provide you with a swathe of experiences you might never have had.
We live in an affluent society, and the
truth is that some couples really have all they need. For a wedding gift
registry that will help
you feel great for years to come, why
not ask your guests to:
·
Donate a sum of their choice to your
favourite charity
·
Contribute to a child sponsorship
program on your behalf
·
Participate in a clean-up-the-planet
day or plant a tree
·
Buy carbon credits to help slow Climate
Change
Be creative! Whatever you choose,
remember that your guests will want to feel like they gave you something
special. It’s up to you to fend off Bad Gift Burn – and ring in a new era of
delicious surroundings and special moments for you and your beau.
