BLOG IN YOUR FACE

So, I thought I would throw my hat in for this sweet little website. Jaci and I weren’t really thrilled about picking just one or two spots to register at for our wedding. And I was not exactly ecstatic about walking around with a little scanner thing all flippin’ day picking out what we want for presents.

Then we stumbled across MyRegistry.com which is totally what we were looking for and what we are going to utilize for our wedding to avoid some hassle and to personalize our gift registry. Also, by using MyRegistry we will pretty much get EXACTLY what we want. Here is how it works:

1. When you mail out your invitations you make sure to add the link to the MyRegistry website along with a personal pass code for folks in your wedding.

2. Then you and your groom/bride-to-be go on the page and you can find pictures of things that you want (or links to certain websites with that item) and put them on your page. You can add little notes…for example, Jaci and I are crazy about Disc Golf. So we put a picture of a disc on our registry and added a note that says “Disc golf is a very fun activity and much more environmentally friendly than regular golf. Jaci and I need some new discs because our current discs have hit their fair share of trees! You can find these discs for around 7 to 15 dollars. We prefer Innova brand. Thanks!”

3. Then your guests go on your registry page and when they find what they would like to purchase for you as a gift, they click on the picture. They have a variety of options: MyRegistry searches for the best deals across the Internet if they would like to purchase the item online. It also searches for any online coupons that your guest can print off. Then your guest can notate if they would like to purchase that item online or they can check the box that says they bought the item at a store and it disappears from your online registry!

4. Guests can also contribute money to larger items such as a furniture set.

Best of all, the service is completely free! If you are thinking about getting married, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend MyRegistry. It’s the greatest thing since Democrats in the White House!
