A Bit of Wedding Registry History:

The very first gift registry was created in 1924 at the Marshall Fields Department Store in Chicago. It was called a bridal registry and was invented to help brides-to-be choose their china, silver, and crystal patterns.

It soon spread across the country and throughout the retail industry. It is now considered a must-have for almost all couples planning to get married. In fact, 93% of couples create a wedding gift registry.

This wedding gift registry is designed to serve as a convenience for both the couple and their guests. Most guests don’t know the likes and dislikes of the couple, and it also helps prevent a couple from receiving duplicate wedding gifts.

Most couples are thoughtful and register at two or more stores. This allows them to choose a variety of needed items, while offering guests gift-giving options that can fit any budget. While a guest is never “required” to choose a gift from the wedding gift registry, it is there to help guests choose a gift with confidence, knowing that their gift is something the couple wants or needs.

It is still considered a major faux pas to include gift registry information as part of the wedding invitation. This is a tradition that has not changed because a wedding is not about getting gifts, it is about the couple sharing the happy day with those that love and care about them.
