Elegance tips for your wedding registry

Regardless of the choices you will make and the steps you’ll take in order to curate your special day in every single detail, we thought you might appreciate some bon-ton advices that can help you give that extra elegance to your wedding preparations. We met our bon-ton teacher and wedding planner Anna Ubaldeschi from AWP (Milan, Italy), who kindly gave us some precious tips for your wedding registry.

“Participations don’t really have to mention anything about your registry, or worse, the swift code of your bank account!”, explains Anna: “Some couples do that, but it is definitely impolite: please, avoid it! Travel agency business cards or any other kind of hint that may remind your guests of your registry should be definitely not included in your RSVP envelopes”.

These hints should be, however, given as soon as the participations are confirmed and the guests themselves ask about them. Thank you cards and notes should always be sent: “It’s better to send them all within two months from your wedding date and you should write them personally. Don’t forget to make an explicit reference to the gifts your guests signed up for or gave you in advance”, adds Anna.

Thank you notes should reach all of your guests, even those who simply sent flowers: “The style of your thank you notes may be the same as that of your RSVP cards: same font, lettering and design”. Also, don’t forget to thank your guests for sharing the joy of your love with you on your wedding day, with specific thank you notes that should be separated from the ones regarding the gifts you received.

Do you have any questions on bon-ton manners? We’ d be glad to ask Anna. Let us know in the comment section down below!
