Your Registry firmly believes "the sky's the limit" and operates worldwide, enabling you to register for traditional as well as unique items.

When Elsa Pinto-Melikian married, in the course of preparing for her wedding, she realized that there was a void with regard to the registry process. She discovered that larger retailers did not offer the things she and her fiancé really wanted. While in London, Pinto-Melikian says a light bulb went off in her head and she conceived Your Registry. As a result, you may register, literally, for anything, from anywhere.

Your Registry lists items from any type of merchant, local or international, with or without Internet access. You can register for products from any retail store, whether it is a nursery, hardware store, bookstore, restaurant, or department store. Your Registry takes care and manages the rest.

Some of the gifts that couples have registered include two-way motorcycle radios, contributions towards a Great Dane puppy, a Seine (Paris) river boat ride, mud bath massages and a Weems Radar Collision Avoidance Plotting Board! Whether it's a financial portfolio, a new Pentium computer, theatre tickets or REI sleeping bags, Your Registry takes care of it.

When marrying, Your Registry advises you to register six to eight months prior to your wedding and include gifts within a broad price range so that you offer many options to all your guests. At a minimum, register for the total number of gifts equivalent to the number of guests attending your wedding. If you are having an engagement party or shower, add to your gift list. Frequently check your registry list to ensure there are sufficient items remaining from which your guests may choose.

When you register, you receive gift registry tips, a brochure, sample registration announcement card, seven steps to successful registration, samples of your gift list and your store list, and other helpful amenities. Go online to www.YourWeddingRegistry.com and check it out or call 1-877-877-0101.

As an encore bride-to-be, this time down the aisle is going to be different. As an encore couple, you can fulfill your fantasies of selected wines, travel or vacation packages, and the great thing about this celebration is that you can free you imagination and just "go for it" when it comes to registering.
