Where to Register for Your Wedding

Williams-Sonoma

In-store vs. online: You can schedule a private appointment to register with an associate at one of the more than 250 stores, and manage it at williams-sonoma.com.
 
Return policy: You can return items for store credit that won’t expire, says Lyndsay Lyle, bridal registry manager at Williams-Sonoma.
 
Length of time the registry’s active: For one year after the wedding, your registry will automatically remain active. And because the data’s maintained for years, you can always reactivate your registry past the 12-month period.
 
Discount: You’ll receive 10 percent off all unpurchased registry items, as well as any additional items you’d like to add for six months.
 
Most popular items: Glass bowls, panini presses, and ebelskiver filled-pancake pans.
