Do this and you could win the $100,000 Crate & Barrel Ultimate Wedding Contest. If you want to plan a wedding beyond your wildest dreams – complete with all the must-haves and wedding planner Yifat Oren – than marketing yourself as a couple to everyone you know (even distant relatives and grade school classmates) is key. Think social media times 100.

The Ultimate Wedding Contest

Crate & Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Winners 2010

The deadline to enter Crate & Barrel’s Ultimate Wedding Contest is March 31; and those with the most votes will make it to the final round. Voters have until April 30 to choose the final 100 couples. After that, a panel that includes Yifat Oren and Crate and Barrel representatives will select a winner. Look for the announcement of the winning couple in June.

If you don’t win, Crate & Barrel is one of many retailers that offer wedding registries to take the guesswork out of gift giving. From furntiture to kitchen gadgets to decorative accessories, you shouldn’t have a problem adding to your wedding registry. Better yet, most retailers list the wedding registry online for guests who can then shop from home. Of course, a gift card is always nice!

Free Wedding Registry App Streamlines Wedding Planning

iList Wedding Registry App

We like the word “free,” especially when we heard brides can download the Wedding Registry app for free on their iPhone, iPad or iPod.

The iList Wedding Registry app is a powerful tool that promises to make the bridal registration process easy, exciting and, yes, even fun.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with wedding planning, but couples can turn around a hectic schedule by downloading the free Wedding Registry App at iListApp.com or itunes.apple.com/app/id453734688?mt=8.

How does it work? Well, thankfully techies make everything super easy for the end user.

The bride- and groom-to-be can visit any store and scan the barcode of any item.  The information is collected and categorized in their personal registry, both within the Wedding Registry App and on the companion website.  The couple now has a single registry regardless of how many different stores they visit to register.

Once the couple completes their wedding registry, they can notify their guests (either all or a select few).  HHI Classic Distributors developed Wedding Registry, Baby Registry and MyList.

One feature is the ability to create and display a personalized wedding invitation by entering their names, a date and time, location, and provide maps for directions.

The user can manage multiple categories, sort items to single or multiple stores, and sort the list by store location addresses. Samples categories include cookware, cutlery, electronics, bakeware, glass and bar, tabletop, home keeping, bedding and bath.

The Wedding Registry app also makes it easy for friends and family to shop by comparing prices of items in the list and finding the store with the lowest price.

The personalized registry can be accessed by friends, family and work colleagues who have an iPhone or iPad or by using a laptop, PC or tablet and connecting to the website which synchronizes with the couple’s registry App.  Once someone purchases a gift, they simply place a check by that item on Wedding Registry and others know that gift has been selected.

Shop or register at AdvantageBridal.com,  your one-stop shop for everything wedding!  From honeymoon bride bikinis to sexy lingerie and from bridal flip flops to couture wedding shoes, Advantage Bridal has something for everyone and every bride.  Whether you’re shopping for a unique bridal gift or looking for custom wedding accessories that complement your theme and decor, we’re sure to have the perfect accessories and gifts to make your day a truly memorable celebration.
