A bridal registry works like this: You choose the gifts you'd like to receive. Bluntly put, you are telling your guests... "These are the gifts we'd like you to give us." Many stores offers bridal registry services, like Rustans, SM, Robinsons, etc. You just go ask where their registry desk is and someone is assigned to help you out in picking the items and listing them all down. Then they group everything you've chosen in a special setting with your names. ONce your guests know where you are registered, your guests just go to the store and pick a gift out. Some stores even offer discounts, free giftwrapping and delivery if the item has been picked from the registry choices.

Most retailers offer bridal registry services for free, but some might charge a registry fee (for the special setting and other related decoration needed to make it enticing) and it would seem like a win-win situation for everybody involved: You get gifts you'd like (no more 10 rice cookers, or 12 irons, etc!); the store gets sales they need; and guests wont need to rack their brains silly in looking for a gift. By the way, guests are never obliged to get you gifts from the registry. It is just a guide as to the kind of things you want. Usually though, couples get about 80% of their gifts from a registry, so you cant go wrong there.

Usually bridal registries mostly focus on offering houseware, dinner ware, things for the house, etc. But really, its up to you. Many couples choose items more suited to their lifestyle, not necessarily houseware. I've read somewhere about a couple who asked for diving and snorkelling stuff since they were more of the beach adventure kind.

Etiquette-wise, the registry is never mentioned on the invitation. In fact, any mention of gifts on the inviation is taboo, I heard. But I've noticed many have forgone that and have gone ahead with a tagline on their intivation bottom saying: "We are registered at xxx."

Hope this helped.

Around how many gift items should the couple include in the registry?

[sweetwahm]

As many as you can. I dont think stores will put a limit. At least your guests have a wider range of choices.

Another input: Ask if the store will give you a discount if you offer to buy what's left of your registry. Meron talagang guests na magbibigay ng cash... you might be eyeing something na hindi naibigay as a gift. One other thing, dont be hesitant in including higher-priced items in your registry. Some guests might chip in (ex. officemates) and might find that their collection can afford the pricey item.
