I learned about SimpleRegistry from a good friend of mine who had used them for her registry. She had nothing but good things to say about her experience so I looked them up online, checked the details, and decided this was definitely the registry for my future husband and me.
"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.
The wedding was beautiful and joyful and everything we'd hoped for. Our apartment looks amazing and now we truly have everything we want. SimpleRegistry made those 3-and-a-half weeks SO much easier for us and for our guests. Transferring the money into our account was a snap, and we appreciate the integrity of a site that lists its (minimal) fees up front in big print.
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!
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.
