These days when everybody seems to be so busy doing so many different things it makes sense to create a wedding list as a practical solution for those people who are unsure what to buy you as a wedding gift.
Many people are uneasy about creating these lists as there can be reluctance for some people to show that they are expecting a gift.
While you might have similar feelings the fact is; you are actually making the task of buying your gifts a lot easier for people if you create a register of gifts.
There are of course many different alternative approaches that you can use and one such approach that a lot of people have been using in recent years is to simply charge your guests a set fee to help cover the costs of the wedding in preference to receiving a gift.
This makes it a lot easier for all involved as you won’t be getting gifts that you will not use and the people coming to your wedding will not have to spend their valuable time looking for a gift. It will be no more difficult for them than going out to a restaurant and paying for the meal.
Some people see this as losing a bit of the personal touch but the simple fact of the matter is it can be a lot more beneficial to you by covering the costs of the wedding and a lot easier for your guests who don’t need to be concerned whether they are buying the right present or not or whether they are spending enough on the purchase of your present.
It does take a lot of stress out of the gift buying process for a lot of people and is appreciated for that reason.
It is certainly well worth considering all the alternatives well in advance and some of these decisions will be based on the type of people that you are inviting to your wedding.
