Adding products to your registry

To add products to your registry, you simply browse the site as normal and add products to your shopping cart.

  • You'll then be taken to the shopping cart page.
  • From there, click the "Registry" link to move that item from your shopping cart to your registry.

In the example above, a "Flat Sheet" was added to the cart.  Clicking "Registry" will move the item to the registry.  You can add as many items as you'd like to your registry by following the steps above.  As you add items to your registry, your registry will show all your items.

  • Click "Continue Shopping" to browse back to the site and look for more items.
  • Click "Edit Bridal Registry Information" to adjust the information on your registry.
  • Adjust quantities and hit "Update".
  • Click "Remove" next to an item to remove it from your registry.
  • See which items have been purchased by your guests.  Look at the "Quantity Purchased" column.
