12 Days of Christmas - Day 6
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, six geese a laying.....
Starting a Bridal Registry is an important part of the wedding process. Even though we all know that it is considered in bad taste to put any registry information on the guest invitations, it is important to get your registry out to your guests. Even though word of mouth is still the most common way, creating a wedding web site can be very helpful. Guests will love having a place to go for up to date wedding information including where you may be registered for gifts.
Making sure that you have luxurious bedding makes your bedroom and sleeping all that more comfortable. These down comforters should be a must on your linen registry list:

Words of Wisdom
Here are some words of wisdom from the American Academy of Wedding Professionals.

Today we'd like to talk to you about the right way to ask for gifts. After all, we know it's impolite to include registry information in an engagement party, shower, or wedding invitations. and what's worse is to ask for cash!
The reasoning is this: You cannot dictate to your guests the type of gifts you'd like to have. and it's not up to you to tell them where to purchase them. And to ask for cash is the ultimate faux pas especially when your wedding invitation only asks your guests for ".the honour of their presence." and that's not spelled P-R-E-S-E-N-T-S.
So how do you solve the problem? Spread your registry information through the grapevine. Tell your family and bridal party to spread the word. and use the Internet to your advantage. Most couples have wedding websites to provide information to their guests and family members concerning all pre-wedding festivities and parties, etc. Putting your wedding registry information on your website for your guests to access is perfectly appropriate.
When it comes to showers, your hosts can be a little pushier. Maybe you'd like to go to the Caribbean on your honeymoon so your maid of honor throws a Caribbean Honeymoon Shower. When guests call to inquire, the MOH will say, "Sue and Bob really want a Caribbean honeymoon so I thought I'd help them out a bit. Bring a gift they can take with them and if you can't think of anything, greenbacks will do : -)."
Although the bride and groom may never ask guests for cash, the guests may ask your family and friends and bridal parties what you'd like to have and in this case, it's OK to tell them.

Can't do even if you wanted to
There are certain things that you should never do when planning a wedding. Here are a few of them that go across the board---never do these things!
1. Under any circumstances, do not - DO NOT - place your registry information on your invitation. Guests will find out where you are registered well enough, they don't need you telling them to buy you a gift.
2. Do not keep your guests waiting for dinner. If your invitation says that dinner and dancing are immediately following the ceremony, then that is what should happen. Plan your day accordingly. Keeping guests waiting without food and drink while you decide to bar hop between the ceremony and the reception is wrong. Even if you have a social hour; the word "hour" should be your hint.
3. And speaking of bar hopping......
4. Don't skip out on paying your vendors. If you have both agreed on a price then you owe them their fair share. Don't make them pay for your wedding just because you decided not to pay the bill. If there is a dispute, then that is an entirely different matter, but whatever the cause, be fair and even minded.
5. Don't ignore your guests. Under any circumstances should this rule not be overlooked. Your guests came to YOUR wedding for YOU! Your guests have plenty of things to keep them busy, so the least you can do is to thank your guests for their time and presence at your wedding. Be gracious at all times, because a gracious bride and groom are ones that are well remembered long after the wedding is over!
