There were items we could NOT have had w/o SimpleRegistry which allowed our guests to donate towards. The surprise for my mom. I found her wedding dress from 1965. I found a tailor who could reconstruct the dress to a modern cut (more my style), but the price was steep. So, I added it to the registry.
"No more stuff!" Ed's muffled voice drifted up from the fathoms of a giant cardboard box labeled MISC. I sat on our couch with the laptop, reviewing a long spreadsheet filled with the names and addresses of our assorted loved ones. SimpleRegistry was just about to enter our lives.
Our friends and family seemed to really enjoy using SimpleRegistry. They told us that it was easy and fun and they got to see the things we really wanted. Several folks got us "pieces" of many different items. Each SR registry is as unique as each couple that signs up. It truly is freedom for everyone!
SimpleRegistry saved us time from wedding planning and gave us the opportunity to experience these tiny flashes of joy that stitched the tapestry of our first year. And for that, it was the perfect tool for our wedding. To anyone else trying to avoid wedding stress and looking to focus on the simple happiness of this moment, we can't recommend this service enough.
When I came across SimpleRegistry, I knew it was perfect for us. Being able to pick varied contribution amounts for virtually any type of gift was exactly what we needed. We set up an account immediately!
