| What
are the benefits of using an on-line gift registry? |
First of all, gift registries allow you to receive exactly
what you want for your special day. No need to worry about
returning unwanted or duplicate gifts, or piling them up to sell
at your first garage sale.
On-line gift registries allow all your guests and friends,
from down the street and across the country, to access your registry
and contribute towards the gift(s) you've requested, large or small.
Guests don't have to spend time walking through busy shopping
malls or searching through shelves and shelves of stoneware to find
your item number.
On-line registries make every store nationwide,
especially if the guest is simply contributing money to a gift you
are receiving from a local specialty shop. This is especially convenient
if you've registered with a retailer not located in their area.
Gift tracking is made especially convenient in that
many on-line gift registries offer software that will do the work.
Don't want to save all those gift cards and match envelopes to boxes
when you get back from your honeymoon? Let us do it for you!

| How
will our guests know where we are registered? |
| Comeregister.com
has incorporated a gift registry enclosure card into its software.
According to Glenis M. Crawford, sending this card to your guests
with the invitation for the wedding is becoming more and more acceptable
as registering for weddings becomes more and more expected. Guests
will be delighted to know that they have a one-stop option for contributing
to the gift of your dreams from the convenience of their own home!

 |
What
if our guests do not have access to a computer? |
| On
the gift registry enclosure card will be a 1-800 number this
guest can access for information about your registry. They may
also contribute money towards your gift(s) via the number at
this time. Otherwise, your registry can be accessed at the public
library or a friend's computer. They will still steer clear
of the inconvenience of finding you a gift you may not want,
or searching for your gift at a busy shopping mall.

| Can
we edit our registry should we change our minds about the gift(s)
we want to receive? |
You
or your fiancé may edit your registry by removing gift(s)
not yet contributed to or by adding gifts if your current selections
are nearly purchased in their entirety. You also have the opportunity
to "hide" a gift request should you want your guests
to focus more heavily on a different gift. For instance, if
you asked for a grill and two pairs of skis, and only $100 is
left on the grill, you may want to "hide" the skis
from your guests until the grill is completely purchased. Then
simply "unhide" the skis to continue contribution
for that request. Comeregister.com will alert you via email
when a gift is within $200 of being purchased.

|
| What
price range should our gift(s) fall into so that we may receive what
we asked for? |
| Registering
for one or two large gifts is becoming more and more acceptable in
today's world. If you're worried about requesting too much, take a
look at the number of guests you've invited to the wedding, and how
much money they would each have to contribute in order to purchase
your gift. Keep in mind that you can always add or remove gifts if
necessary. Also, even if your guests were only able to contribute
half of the money for what you registered for, that's like saving
half the money for a down payment on a new car or home. You will still
receive a final gift certificate for the gifted amount to be redeemed
at your specified retailer. Simply fill out the rest of the product
or service amount when purchasing your gift(s) or hold onto the certificate
until you've saved the difference. |
| What
if we don't know the price of the gift we'd like to receive? |
| First
of all, Comeregister.com requires only approximations of price, so
don't worry about finding the exact cost of the item. Second, many
of the businesses listed in our gift directory are privately owned
and provide an informational site that may or may not include pictures
or prices. If you would like to know more about their products or
services, or if you'd like to visit them personally to finalize your
decision, don't hesitate! Even though we've taken the entire registration
process on-line to make it more convenient for you, your guests, and
the store itself, we encourage taking advantage of the personalized
customer service each listing has to offer. |
| |
| What
if the gift is a service or a custom-made item that
doesn't exist yet? |
|
| That's
great! You're thinking outside the box. If you want
to receive a membership or service as a gift, just remember
that your guests will want to know what it is and how
you will use it. When describing any gift, especially
a custom made piece that won't exist until after your
guests gift you the money necessary, make sure to be
specific and personal about your description in the
area provided. Guests love to give gifts, in fact, they
expect to. But they are likely to contribute more to
something they know you will use and enjoy. |
|
What
if we want a gift from a store not listed in the directory? |
| Please
take the time to recommend a business so that we may add that
business to our directory as soon as possible. Every business
has the opportunity to join our network, free of charge, so
feel free to encourage them to offer their gift-registry on-line.
Not only will moving your registry on-line make it easier
for you and your guests, the business will benefit from having
others register for their products or services as well. |
|
 |
| Where
is the money kept that is contributed to our gift? |
| Because
you are using an on-line registry and receiving contributions
to something for which you will purchase at a later date,
all monetary gifts are held on your behalf in a separate escrow
account. When you redeem the certificate for your gift, the
culmination of monetary contributions are released to the
business from which the gift was purchased. |
|
| What
is the advantage of receiving a purchase certificate for the gift we registered
for? |
| A purchase certificate
allows you flexibility in choosing a different gift at the store location.
This is convenient if you didn't receive the full amount you registered
for. You may also add accessories to your gift with any extra contributions
you have received. You can choose your gift free of restrictions from
model number, color, or sale price. Unlike registering at some major
department stores, you may take advantage of sale prices with your
purchase certificates because they are just like cash! |
