I'm starting to get to that age where a few of my friends have popped, or are having the question popped to them. Tying the knot, walking down the aisle, all that kind of stuff. Although I'm definitely not at that point in my life yet, I've taken some sort of unhealthy interest in wedding planning and have been keeping my eyes peeled for anywhere they might be able to utilise for their big days. I stumbled across The Wedding List Co. when walking through James Street last week and popped in to see what their deal was. I found out that they source and organise the registers for people's wedding gifts and their store on James Street is merely a show room to display some of the items that are available. There was everything from photo frames, to home appliances and beautiful Wedgewood china. The lady who was manning the store was lovely and told me that they can organise the register no matter what the location of the wedding. And with all of the other stuff that has to be organised for the most important day of your life, frankly it would be nice to put that responsibility in someone else's hands. If you have your big day coming up or have a friend who is in need of some organisational help in the gift registry department, give The Wedding List Co. a call. I wouldn't just drop in to the store because they're only open Thursdays and Saturdays unless by appointment. read more

The Wedding List - Wedding Planning Near Me - Fortitude Valley, QLD

Avoid at all costs! We signed up thinking that this could be a good registry site, how wrong we were. The big reason we signed up is because they promised to match prices and get 25% off everything else after the guests had bought their gifts. Trying to match prices is a nightmare. You have to do all the work send them photos, highlighting the price and date of the promotion. Every other place that price matches asks for a link to the item and price, then they do the rest. So after our wedding, we closed the registry and went to add extra purchases, thinking we were going to receive the discount. Turns out, you have to buy items after your guests have bought theirs. Then, they give you a gift voucher (only valid at their website) worth a certain percentage of your extra purchases (e.g. spend $500, get $150 voucher) THEN they take 25% off that. What absolute crap! So you have to make 2 extra purchases to receive 25% off. So we spent $xxx thinking that we'd receive a voucher with the corresponding amount. We later learned that this voucher and discount does not apply to electrical goods and home appliances. We spent almost $1000 for nothing. Why was it advertised as 'receive 25% off and gifts not purchased'. There is no asterisk or any indication of any terms or conditions This should be taken down immediately. To make matters worse, delivery was just over 8 weeks. We were initially told 4-6 weeks (3-5 weeks longer then every other gift registry site we looked at. On the 7th week, we sent a stern email asking how long it would be and why. We were told it would take 8 weeks because 'that's just how it is'. No apology or anything. Wedding List Co was started by George & Karaline Loiterton because they had a 'negative experience' when they did their registry so they wanted to 'address the problem'. Well done you two, you now are part of the problem. read more
