Target Wedding Registry: Create the Perfectly Unique Wedding Gift

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target.

Happy Monday to all! We hope you all had a great weekend! Anyone get married, or attend a wedding? Tis' the season! If you attended a wedding, what sort of gift did you give? Did you go with items the happy couple registered for, or something a little off the registry path?  

Well, today's post is all about going on the happy couple's registry, and then making the gift unique, so it not only crosses off an item on their list, BUT it also is theirs only, and nobody else has one similar.  Sounds great, right? And, guess what, this is totally doable, especially if the couple is registered on Target's Wedding Registry.
