(NAPSI)-Today, the resources available to brides and grooms-to-be are unparalleled. According to About.com, 91 percent of couples register for wedding gifts, and guests spend $19 billion buying presents from wedding gift registries. Many couples register at two or more locations in order to make the gift-giving process as convenient as possible for their guests and to ensure that the couple receives gifts that fit their style and taste. If your home is decorated in a more contemporary manner, don’t feel compelled to register for traditional china, just because your mother did. Use your imagination – if you and your fiancé are outdoor enthusiasts, register for a pair of mountain bikes or patio furniture.
