By incorporating just a few features and strategies, couples can create a fun, unique, and effective wedding registry page that showcases their personalities and exciting plans for the future. All the while, your registry will really resonate with friends and family and ultimately encourage them to make contributions. Here are four tips to make it happen.

This is also the perfect spot to describe any special details about your relationship, engagement, plans for the future, and the wedding itself, providing guests with some key background information.
