Registry Ideas

Are you still not sure where and what to register for? Here are some options from classic choices to the unique and everything in between, which suits you best?

The Classic Registry – This registry never goes out of style, including formal china, crystal and silver, plus a few modern twists like photo frames, vases, maybe even a punch bowl. Don't forget to include lots of serving pieces to accommodate family growth. China, crystal and silver have longevity unlike any other gift, as they make a wonderful family heirloom which can be passed down to the next generation.

The Upgrade Registry – For the couple that has all the basics, but if you want to trade up from the mismatched cutlery you have been using since college or the outdated bedding prints, this is the perfect time to register for more luxurious items that reflect both your tastes. Some fun items to consider are a fondue set, cappuccino maker or Egyptian cotton sheets.

The Collector Registry – Whether it is artwork, vintage wines or whatever your heart desires, why not indulge in a shared passion? This is perfect for those who have it all, but want to expand on their collection and can be enjoyed for many years to come.

The Home Décor Registry – If you have all the essentials, but you love to decorate your home and could use more accessories, throws, pillow, rugs and so on, this is the perfect choice to make your home truly yours. Visit your favourite home décor store and dream of all the wonderful updates you can make with the help of your wedding guests.

The Renovation Registry – This is perfect for the new homeowner who needs everything for the home. Visit your favourite renovation supply store and register for all the items you need, it may not be as sexy as other registries, but few would deny that you really need that new water softener or patio set.

The Travel Registry – Every couple deserves to take a honeymoon, but not every couple can afford the honeymoon of their dreams. Why not visit your local travel agent and let guests spoil you with a romantic dinner or local adventure on your honeymoon. Plus you can visit your local department store and add luggage and other travel necessities to round it off.

The Sport Registry – Do you love to golf together? What about camping or skiing? If you have a shared recreational interest, why not add what you need to make the most of it by registering at a local sports store or Canadian Tire. As long as you both enjoy it and need new equipment, it is a perfect gift for both of you.

The Trousseau Registry – Visit your local lingerie store and pick out the perfect honeymoon outfits. Or companies like Fantsia offer wedding showers in the home of your choice for a unique and fun shower.
