Last week I received an anonymous tip from a male friend of mine notifying that his wife received of one of the most interesting bridal show invitations I have ever heard of…a Pampered Chef Wedding Shower! That email sent an immediate chill up my spine! After all, multi-level marketing and wedding showers DO NOT go together in my mind. And I don’t think it should be any bride’s intent to earn a gift or a reward based on how many gifts her guests give her, let alone buy in front of her. What happened to being grateful for giving and supportive family and friends??

If you’ve ever registered for wedding gifts before, you may know that it’s not quite as exhilarating as what you originally dreamed. Likely involved in the registration process are your not-so-interested groom and a pushy salesperson encouraging you to register for everything in sight! If you have a man who’s gung-ho about registering, then you’ve found yourself a gem there and he’s a keeper! However, most girls will experience the guy who could care less about what plate setting or flatware you choose!

If you’re new to the registration process, here are some quick tips to keep in mind as you begin to build your wish list. By no means is this a complete list, but it certainly includes some things I have learned a long the way.
