There were items we could NOT have had w/o SimpleRegistry which allowed our guests to donate towards. The surprise for my mom. I found her wedding dress from 1965. I found a tailor who could reconstruct the dress to a modern cut (more my style), but the price was steep. So, I added it to the registry.
The best part is that we can always use the gifted money from one gift towards another. Now we aren't sitting in a sea of frivolous manufactured things. Rather, we are sitting in a sea of home furnishing dreams!
We will certainly be utilizing SimpleRegistry in the near future for a fundraiser and more of life's unforgettable events.
I happened to find SimpleRegistry on a wedding blog and I'm so thankful I did! With all the crazy wedding planning that has been going on, it's been nice to have a simple and easy way to manage our registry. Thanks SimpleRegistry!
All in all, it was a dream registry and exactly what we wanted. Thank you SimpleRegistry!
