Traditional list
Department stores offer a wide range of wedding gifts
Traditionally the bride’s mother distributes and manages a list of desired gifts (with details of manufacturer’s name, model and colour). When a guest chooses a gift, they cross it off and return the list, which is sent to the next guest.
Department store
Many couples register with a department store, for the wide range of stock. Many have branches nationwide as well as comprehensive websites, so it’s easy to set up your list – and convenient for guests to purchase gifts.
