Wedding Registry to Consider: Blueprint Registry

June 13, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, have you or your daughter heard of Blueprint Registry yet? I just recently happened upon it so it may be new to you as well. And if so, this may be something your daughter and her beloved may be interested in.

Blueprint Registry is an online registry that allows a couple to add gifts from any retailer as well as import existing registries and also create a honeymoon fund/cash registry. It has a unique blueprint approach where couples shop/register by room and guests can then see how and where their gift might be used in the couple’s home.

I haven’t talked with anyone yet who has personally used it, but it’s getting rave reviews from industry leaders. And those endorsements are easily seen on the home page.

MOB, I encourage you to hop over to Blueprint Registry’s website and take a look. I’ll list some of the links to specific info so you can find what you need as easily as possible. Be sure to share this post with your daughter. Blueprint Registry could be just what she and her hubby-to-be are looking for!

Wedding Registry Roundup

October 4, 2016 by Leave a Comment

jwf_5416Mother of the Bride, is it time for your daughter to decide where she and her groom-to-be should register for wedding gifts? This can take a little more time and thought that they might originally think so why not encourage them to do this sooner rather than later? If they put it off and end up pressed for time, something that should be fun could turn into a giant headache and even cause some unhappiness between them.

I’ve featured several wedding registries here on my blog over the past couple of years so today here’s a roundup post to help you find them all more easily. The registries I’ve featured are ones that are a little less common so I’ll list links to the more standard registries websites and then will list links to the posts I’ve written for the others.

Have fun sharing the links with your daughter, MOB. She might discover a registry she hadn’t thought of yet!

Wedding Registry to Consider: Sur La Table!

Mother of the Bride, when it comes time to register, your sweet girl might want to consider Sur La Table for one of her registries—especially if she and/or her groom love to cook and spend time in the kitchen. A cooking specialty store like Sur La Table will surely hit the spot for them, right?

The Sur La Table website has all kinds of registry helps: Creating, Finding, and Managing a Registry, Top Registry Gifts, Reasons to Register, Tips and Guides, information on Special Registry Events, and also a Gift Registry Concierge to assist you. You can receive help in the store, by phone, or online.

Sur La Table also offers free gifts for the couple. Some they’ll get just for registering and others they’ll qualify for after items from their registries are purchased. Sounds like a sweet deal to me!

So MOB, if your Mr. & Mrs.-to-be plan to cook up more than passion after they’re married, why not send them over to Sur La Table? They might even thank you by inviting you over for dinner sometime!

A Wedding Registry to Consider: Best Buy!

Mother of the Bride, when you and your daughter think of wedding registries, I’d be willing to be that Best Buy isn’t the first thing that springs to mind, is it? It’s definitely not one of the old standards where wedding registries are concerned, but it’s definitely one worth considering—especially if the bride and groom would like to include some electronics, home entertainment, or computer products in the mix.

You may not be aware of the wide range of products available at Best Buy. Not only do they have all the items they’re most well-known for that would fall under the electronics and technology umbrella, they also carry large and small appliances, home and personal care products, and also home office items. Check out their website for a full listing of items offered.

Best Buy has a helpful online wedding registry page, and couples can easily update their registries with a hand Best Buy mobile app. Group gifting is also available on gifts priced at $200 or more.

MOB, why not share this Best Buy wedding registry idea and info with your new Mr. & Mrs.-to-be? I think they will likely be very happy that you did!

Wedding Registry to Consider: Pottery Barn!

Mother of the Bride, have your daughter and her beloved decided where they want to register yet? When most of us think of bridal registries, two or three of the standard registries come to mind, but it can be so much fun to throw something else into the mix, too. Guests love having several options to choose from, and the newlyweds can end up with some cool gifts they might not otherwise have received. Fun, huh?!

With that in mind, why not suggest Pottery Barn to the soon-to-be newlyweds? Pottery Barn offers a little bit of everything for the home, and their products are super classy. Your sweet couple can start the process on the Pottery Barn registry page. From there, they can also click on registry benefits where they’ll find some helpful tips for registering. Pottery Barn also has registry experts ready to help couples one-on-one by phone or in their stores.

MOB, Pottery Barn is sure to add to the excitement and fun of the registry process so encourage your happy couple to consider them. They might just find some of their most favorite items there!
