Should I Always Use the Wedding Gift Registry?

People often wonder if it’s ok to give someone a wedding gift that’s not on the couple’s gift registry. The answer is yes absolutely. Gift registries are meant to be suggestions for your consideration.  It’s wonderful if you find the perfect gift on the registry, but when you don’t, your own thoughtful choice is always appropriate.

A gift registry is often made up of  practical items that will help two people start their new life together, such as dinnerware or small appliances, and will give you an idea of what a couple needs. They are also a useful guide to a couple’s taste, and may give you clues as to whether to choose something “contemporary” or “traditional.”

 

If you’re going to stray from the registry, you’ll want to make sure your gift will be appreciated, useful and remembered.

 

That’s why you can’t lose with beautiful handcrafted woodenwares like a wooden salad bowl, or a set of wooden spoons. It’s both personal and thoughtful and it’s one-of-a-kind so it’s always memorable. And since a registry is meant to help a couple start their new life together, there is no better way to do this than with a gift they will use every day and cherish forever.

 

Wooden Bowls for a Wedding Gift

Whether it’s to serve food, hold fruit, jewelry and other items, or simply to decorate the home, a handcrafted wooden bowl is a beautiful way to show the happy couple how happy you are for them. Every time they look at the bowl or put something in it, they will remember your thoughtfulness and generosity.
