Gift Card Wedding Registry: The New Money Saving Trend
According to a 2009 survey of brides and newlyweds conducted by TheKnot.com
and WeddingChannel.com,
a wedding gift should cost about $70 if it's from a friend, around
$130 from a family member, and never less than $50--no matter who
it's from.
That's an awful lot for most of us to shell out, especially if there are multiple weddings to attend within a relatively short period of time. Considering both that 30% of annual weddings in the U.S. take place during the summer and that July is the single most popular month for weddings in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, wedding guests definitely need a way to save this summer.
One increasingly popular way of doing so is the gift card registry. In fact, gift card registries can help improve various aspects of the gift giving process for both guests and soon-to-be-married couples.
