Looks better than new pots and pan, right?
Here’s a bit of a novel idea. Sure, you can register for things like new towels. But let me ask you this. Is registering for new towels really a form of responsible weddings savings? I mean, let’s be honest… it’s not like you’ve gone all these years without towels and now, only once you’ve gotten married, will you finally be able to dry yourself off properly after a shower. Sure, your towels might be mismatched or have bleach spots, but do they dry you off? I bet they do. So do you absolutely NEED to register for new towels? What if your option was registering for a trip to Hawaii? Or registering for a cruise to the Greek Isles? I bet now those old towels aren’t looking so mismatched after all, huh?
There’s a new thing available to engaged couples called Travel Registries, and this wedding blog wants to take a moment to talk about them. Essentially, Travel Registries let you register for the honeymoon you’d like to take, and then, instead of having your guests purchase pieces of cookware you’ll probably never use, they can put money toward your post-wedding love jaunt. And it doesn’t just have to be things like helping pay for tickets or hotels. Travel Registries let your guests buy you certain activities. For example, Aunt Edna can pay for you and your new hubby to swim with the dolphins; while Cousin Danny can book you a nice spa package. Not too bad a deal, huh? And if you ask me, while I might end up using a set of sheets for a longer time, I’m going to enjoy (and remember) a seaweed wrap a lot more!
So if you’d like to read more about Travel Registries, check out this article. And over the next few weeks, I’ll try to point you in the direction of the best travel registry sites. Until then, just hope no one buys you that Kitchen Aid mixer, or else you might end up cutting your honeymoon short so you can get home to bake for your new man. Doesn’t sound as fun, huh?
