Originating in France, the bridal registry dates back to the 19th century, when great distances between the bride and groom was common and communication was difficult. What was one to do? Christofle, a fine manufacturer of silverware, was the man that found the solution to the problem: the bride's parents would select in advance their daughter's "trousseau." Thus the Bridal Registry was thus born!
The bridal registry is still a foreign concept in many countries, with guests still giving gifts that they personally select. One common problem with that however is that the bride & groom may not have a need or desire for the gift… especially 5 of them as can happen. That being said, the perfect gift when chosen carefully, and given from the heart, will always be treasured. Even when a registry is used, they are not problem free, with couples still ending up with more than 1 of the same item, but at least duplicates can usually be exchanged.
