Say 'I Do' to Donating to Charities

While we're on the topic of registries, here's another idea for putting together your wedding registry: donate to charities.  This is a trend that many couples are choosing to do either as an alternative or in addition to a traditional wedding registry. The I Do Foundation has the perfect website to help you get started.  You can create a registry of charities you would like your guests to donate to or you can create a registry with the foundation's partner stores to give to charities from the purchases your guests make for you.  This website also gives you the option to raise money for charities by using certain vendors to play your wedding.  You can also give a charity gift to the people in your wedding by giving them a charity gift card where you donate the the charity they choose.  Another idea is to donate to a charity rather than giving favors - place a favor card on your reception tables letting your guests know a donation has been made in their honor for attending your wedding.  Who says your wedding can't benefit anyone else?

Wedding Registry On The Go

As a bride-to-be, I know that putting together a registry can be one of the most fun activities you get to do.  But how much more fun would it be if you could add items to your registry on the go, as in right in the store when you happen upon that PERFECT pillow that you just know you have to have?  Well now you can!  GiftRegistry360.com has just introduced a new Scan & Add app for your iPhone. This app allows you to update and view your registry list, add items using your iPhone as a barcode scanner AND everything on your registries is kept updated in one place.  Seems like the perfect app for the bride on the go!
