Bridal Registry

We decided to register at Target, one of our favorite stores, and also at Disney (of course!)

The initial sign up was easy- we started the registry for Target online, and they sent us a gift pack in the mail. It included a coupon pouch with tabbed dividers (that I already use all the time), a booklet of coupons, and a package of post-it sized sheets to include in the wedding shower invites, to let guests know you've registered at Target. I think I'll give them to my Mom, but I'm not sure if I really want her to use them, it seems tacky. Maybe I'm wrong?

After starting the registry online, we walked into our local Target and went to customer service. They handed over a fun toy- a UPC code scanner. Then we started our major mission.

Registering for your Wedding gifts is a humbling experience. I had a hard time scanning anything at first. I'd approach something I liked, like a pretty glass bowl. Then I'd do the same thing I do whenever I'm shopping- I'd think "but do I really NEED this?" and then I'd pass it by. After a half hour of only choosing like three things, Ryan reminded me that this was for things we wouldn't normally buy ourselves, and that our friends and family need to have an idea of what we like.

Finally, I relented and we added a good number of items to our registry. I still felt oddly guilty about it, almost like I had just bought things that I shouldn't. But in the long run, I hope it helps our loved ones to have fun shopping for our big day.

Registering with Disney was even easier. We had a lot of fun adding all of the things we've dreamed of doing on a Disney trip, like the "Behind the Scenes tour of the Disney Railroad".

It's all done online, through their Honeymoon site:

They sent me a great bag after registering- it now holds all of my wedding planning tools and my super-big binder of everything wedding idea/picture/article I've ever seen that I liked!
