It's almost spring - and that means weddings. Whether it's a niece in New
Jersey, your college roommate or your next-door neighbor, buying
gifts doesn't have to be a chore.
In many cases, the mother of the bride will discreetly inform you where her
daughter is registered. If not, don't despair. Many stores offer Web sites that
make looking up the registry and purchasing a gift quick and easy:
- Target
Access Target's Club Wedd using either the bride's or the groom's
last name, then order gifts on-line and have them shipped to an
address requested by the bridal couple.
- Bed Bath & Beyond
Send the perfect gift with just a couple clicks -
and shipping is free on many items.
- JCPenney
Also offers access to
registries for baby showers, holiday, anniversary, housewarming, etc.
- Williams-Sonoma
