Once you have registered now it will be time to begin creating your gift list. In the next segment, let’s look at the different types or themed registries. To make the most of the opportunity, we’re going to put some thought behind what your dowry needs to look like to fit your new life together. There is always the traditional checklist but today that just might not be the right fit.
For Charity’s Sake
In the joyous occasion of your engagement and wedding, consider adding an extra charm to your wedding website, engagement or other events and communication along the way. Encourage family and guests to donate to a wedding related charity. These organizations don’t always get the same sizzle as others, and what a blessing to help others share in the happiness and love that you have.
Wish Upon A Wedding – Grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering health circumstances.
Brides Across America – A non-profit committed to loving one another by gifting weddings and wedding gowns to our military and first responders.
