“So, where are you registered?”

My newly-engaged couple friends, you’ll be asked this from the second you announce your engagement until weeks after you’ve returned from your honeymoon. People love showering soon-to-be-marrieds with swell presents and wedding registries provide an easy way for them to search for gift ideas that fit their budgets while getting you something you may actually want or need.

The problem with traditional wedding registries is that you’re pretty much limited to household items – stuff you likely already have in abundance if you’re among the 70% of couples who’ve been living together before getting married – and places like Big Box Retailers that might not fit your personal values or the financial comfort zones of your guests.

Luckily there are alternative registry companies that allow you some flexibility on what you can register for. One of the most exciting companies to enter the registry world is Better Ever After, an alternative or unique wedding registry that offers fun and creative experiences like gourmet cooking lessons,  glass blowing classes, brewery tours, farm-to-table produce boxes, and hiking trips. Utterly cool, right?

 

Creating your Better Ever After registry couldn’t be easier: create a free account, chose the experiences you want, add them to your registry, and share your registry page with your friends and family. Your gifts come packaged in a gorgeous gift box with your guests’ personal notes printed on their custom stationary.

Their current line-up of experiences start at $26 (for a healthy meal delivery) so there’s a nice of range of price points for your guests to choose among. What’s really great about Better Ever After is they’ve partnered with reputable local businesses to ensure your experiences are high-quality, interesting, and fun.
