Throwing a Great Bridal Shower - Preparing the Registry Table

[Tara1021]

I'm doing my first bridal shower tomorrow. I put the bride's registry into Excel and then did a mail merge into labels (the kind that are 10 to a sheet). Made them colorful. Then I used 3 different colored index cards. I stuck the labels on the cards according to cost. I have a 1-10, 10.25-20, and 21 and up stack. The stacks came out pretty even too! I'm going to lay them out on a table so that guests can choose things in their price range. I also included a line at the bottom that says purchased by. This way I can keep track of everything a bit better. I'll let you know how it works!

That is similar to how I do it. I have printed out cards and I have the guests write a little note card to the bride and put the cards for the items they are purchasing into the envelop. Good job and congrats on a great show!
