TIPS ON GIFT REGISTRY

3. It is also an advantage to make use of the e-announcement since everybody is online nowadays. It would be better to make a list of email addresses for this.
4. You can also use your Facebook Account to send invites indicating that you have a gift registry.
5. It is important that you inform your guests that they do not have to bring the Guest Card to avail the discount. All they have to do is provide the name of the celebrant or the Gift Registry Code. This is one of the common problems guests encounter with their wedding wherein some of their sponsors think that they have to present the Guest Card to avail the discount. Some bought items from other retail stores resulting to duplicate gifts.   
6. Since the Registrant Card will take 2-3 days to be activated, you can make use of the Guest Card to avail the discount while waiting for the activation of the Registrant Card. Just make sure that the items you are going to buy are on your wish list.
