Five (Cool) Reasons a Groom Should Be Involved in a Registry with MyRegistry.com

FORT LEE, N.J. - April 24, 2014 - PRLog -- As grooms become more and more involved in wedding planning and the popularity of “man or bro” showers continue to grow-–grooms should be able to get gifts they need and want. With MyRegistry.com, men can choose items from stores that appeal to them and have those items appear on the same universal registry with the bride’s selections. MyRegistry.com is the premiere destination for gift registry services and gives customers the flexibility to choose items from any store in the world and creates one universal gift list, making the process extremely easy for friends and family. Although traditional wedding registries are great for items like bath towels, dishes and bedding, there are certain items that guys should handle--or at least have a hand in--selecting.

Here are five reasons a groom should be involved in registering with MyRegistry.com:
1.       GET GIFTS HE NEEDS AND WANTS
The obvious reason a groom should participate in the registry process is to make sure he receives items that are meant for him.  Most newly engaged men hear the word “register” and automatically associate it with choosing crystal and china, which doesn’t usually interest the average male.  However, men no longer need to leave this tradition to their bride.  With MyRegistry.com, men can choose electronics, barbeque grills, sporting goods from any store in the world and they will appear on a universal gift list with every other item chosen.
2.       “DO IT TOGETHER” ACTIVITIES WITH CASH GIFT FUND
MyRegistry.com offers a patent pending Cash Gift Fund that allows members to tastefully register for cash gifts, rather than physical items.  Users can customize their Cash Gift Fund with activities they can do together such as “cooking class fund” or “skydiving fund.”  So many couples already have at least one (if not two) of everything to set up house—so more towels, sheets, pots and pans would be pointless.  MyRegistry.com has helped changed the stigma attached to asking for cash.
3.       HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Many couples purchase their homes prior to their wedding and frequent home improvement stores wishing for everyday household items to help them complete their dream house.  Grooms usually have more of a grasp on items such as tools, electrical items and other supplies that are necessary to complete a renovation or improvement.  With MyRegistry.com, they can choose items from home improvement megastores such as Home Depot or local mom and pop hardware stores.
4.       CREATE HIS OWN “MAN CAVE”
Personal space in important for a marriage to survive.  Man caves give guys the freedom to enjoy football or basketball games on TV in their self-created environments.  MyRegistry.com will allow the groom to construct and design their space by asking for items such as recliners, sports paraphernalia, flat screen TV’s, poker tables and more from any store in the world.
5.       “BRO” SHOWERS
One of the hottest trends in the wedding industry is the growing popularity of showers for the groom.  A “bro” shower is an informal gathering of the groom’s friends in honor of the impending nuptials.  This event often accompanies the bachelor party as a daytime event where gifts are exchanged and food and liquor are also served.  Although these showers aren’t considered traditional, weddings are evolving and the groom is becoming more involved in the planning and festivities.  “Bro showers” can have themes such as “backyard, lawn and garden” or “bar and grill,” where the groom can ask for related gifts.
