Let the Bridal Party Begin!
Most people are so busy getting stressed out planning a wedding they forget that it's supposed to be a joyous occasion. It's times like these when you need the support of your best friends, or vice versa. Why not make light of the situation, have fun, and give your single friend one last hurrah before she ties the knot?
Register For Your Wedding the Healthy Way
It's never too early to get in shape for your wedding, but you also can't be blamed for thinking about the wedding gifts right off the bat. You can go the traditional route and register for home and kitchen items, or you can mix it up with some fitness-related finds, from tandem bikes to gym memberships.
I was actually surprised to find a number of online retailers that let you register for fitness-related gifts.
Wedding Planning: What Gadgets Do You Really Need?
When planning a wedding, couples often shy away from adding expensive electronics to their bridal registry because they are often perceived as luxury items rather than necessities. When friends and family are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money on formal china sets (which will rarely get used), why is it so hard to ask for cameras, televisions or camcorders on your wedding registry?
Nonetheless, when creating an online registry, make sure you and your fiancé pick a variety of gifts that fit your lifestyle and your needs- since you'll both be living with the results.
Big Ticket Wedding Registry Items

Ask Casa: Garden Gifts For Wedded Friends?
Hi Casa,
My friends just got married, and even though I attended their wedding (gorgeous, by the way!), I still haven't given them their gift. I feel a little guilty about it, but I just couldn't imagine getting them a cheese grater or a set of pillow shams from their registry. I want to get them something a little more unique.
How Do You Determine the Amount Spent on Wedding Gifts?
Gifts are a way to acknowledge your congratulations to newlyweds and to show appreciation for being included in the celebration. There are various opinions surrounding gifts: Some say guests have a year to give a gift, some assume the cost of the gift should be approximately what the couple spent on each guest, some only give money while others would never think of it, and the list goes on.
Rob Johnsen, co-founder of MyWedding.com advises to decide how much your relationship is worth: If the couple are "two of your most cherished friends or relatives" expect to spend about $200, if they're people you value but don't communicate regularly or see often than spend between $50 and $100, and a couple who you don't know very well would receive a gift worth $50 or under.
