What stores does My Dream Home Registry represent?
My Dream Home Registry does not represent any store or supplier. We also do not accept money from advertisers or try to influence your purchasing decisions. Gift registry funds for your registry are sent directly to you. You can then purchase the items you need from any retail store, vendor, or contractor you choose. You have complete freedom with your purchases - all for less than the cost of shipping and tax for a traditional bridal registry. This also means no standing in line to return gifts or dealing with inexperienced salespeople and employees. You can shop from the comfort of your home. It really doesn't get any easier.

Do we need a designer or builder to use My Dream Home Registry?
A designer or builder is not a prerequisite for using My Dream Home Registry. It is recommended though, as a professional in the field can save large amounts of time and money.

How do our guests purchase gifts?
When guests visit your wedding registry, they will land on your home page and select a room in your gift registry. At the bottom of the page is a link for purchasing gifts. Your guests can purchase any number of $10 gift units using any major credit card. They can also leave a message for you and you'll receive an email notification each time someone purchases you gift registry present.
|
 |
|
|
What happens if our guests only want to spend a small amount?
No problem! Your guest can buy units per room starting at just $10. They can buy as many or as few units as they like. The amount of individual contributions cannot be seen by other guests, only by the bridal registry creator.
|
 |
|
|
How do we know when contributions have been made?
You as the "register" can visit the My Dream Home Registry website to see a status report whenever you choose! Your guests give gifts for each "area" or room in your home. When someone contributes to a room your bridal registry will send you and the gift giver an email confirmation. |
 |
|
|
Why shouldn't our guests just send us cash?
Most guests like to feel that their money was put towards something you needed. You can use My Dream Home Registry to show your guests exactly how they are helping you. They can be a part of the entire building and designing process (which is much better than sending you two plates of china). Just think how your guests will feel when visiting your home after the bridal registry. They can sit in the very rooms they contributed to and see how your ideas have come to life! |

|
|
How long can we have My Dream Home Registry open?
You can keep your wedding gift registry open for as long as you like. You are in complete control of your registry at all times.

 |
|
|
What happens if our event gets cancelled?
You can terminate the bridal registry at any time. From the Member Control Panel you have the ability to delete your entire registry.
