Some stores run an online register, which is particularly handy for guests and well-wishers living in different towns or countries. Through the website, arrangements can be made to order and pay for the gift as well as have it sent directly to the bride and groom or the buyer.
Sometimes the situation arises that guests just do not feel comfortable about buying any of the list's items. They may be in the wrong price bracket or are felt to be too practical. In this case staff can assist by making suggestions.
The list is preferably drawn up not too far from the time the invitations are sent, as this cuts down the risk of a particular item selling in the meantime. Once an item from the list has been purchased as a gift it is removed from the register to avoid double buying.
