Unique Wedding Registries
Many Couples today are going beyond the traditional wedding registry to get something that they actually need. After all, most people getting married today have lived on their own and have plenty of dishes and cookware already. Here are some alternatives to wedding registries:
- New Home Wedding Registry -- Guests can contribute toward a new home at http://www.mydreamhomeregistry.com
- Men’s Wedding Registry -- TheManRegistry.com is the first online wedding gift registry geared toward the groom. There are gift options in categories such as BBQ gear, bar supplies, electronics, and tools.
- Honeymoon Registry - www.travelersjoy.com
Note of caution, according a blogger on the consumerist website says that Target goes not give you refunds for duplicate gifts from your registry unless you bring in the receipts from the people who gave you’re the gifts. This is from Target’s return policy, “Please note that all returns to Target must include either the original receipt or a Gift Receipt. Gift Givers are strongly encouraged to include a Gift Receipt whenever a gift is purchased.” This seems unfair because it should be up to the store to registry to make sure that you don’t get duplicate gifts. The store we used did reimburse us for duplicate gifts.

Bachelorette Parties at Home
The economy is even having an effect on bachelorette parties and bachelor parties, according to an online survey from I-Volution Inc., more are choosing to have these parties at home. A common theme for some who go out is to attend the theatre or going to pole dancing lessons. (Don't let aunt Gertie try it. She'll sprain something.) The classic in-home exotic male entertainer is still popular as is a spa day or a dinner and drinks.
The guys are going for bar hopping, in-home female dancers, golf weekends, paintball, and concert/sporting events. (What a shock!)
