PR NewsChannel) / July 29, 2009 / New York, N.Y. / Anyone who has ever planned a wedding understands how quickly a life milestone can become a logistical nightmare.  Juggling vendors, guests, and details can dull the shine of what should be the most special day of a couple’s life.  Now, a new website is about to change all that.

ItsMyGiftRegistry.com lets couples plan their wedding, showers, and bachelor or bachelorette parties from one location.  Customers can break down vendors by location, type, or customer rating.  Instead of basing their choices on advertisements, members can actually read the testimonials of other customers.  Ruben Arcila, president of My Gift Registry, LLC, says the idea was born from his own wedding planning struggles.

“My wife and I got married a year ago and we didn’t know where to begin,” says Arcila.  “Florists, reception locations, DJs, limo services, etc.  There is just so much that comes with planning a wedding.  We were lost.  So, our website fixes that and lets couples take the stress out of what should be the happiest day of their lives.”

The website also makes the gift giving process easier for both gift givers and recipients.  Couples can create a personalized gift registry website that lets them register and add any items from as many stores as they want.  Wedding guests can then visit the registry website and anonymously purchase the gifts the couple has pre-selected.  Once a gift has been purchased, it is marked as purchased to avoid guests doubling up on gifts.

ItsMyGiftRegistry.com works with www.obopay.com to give guests the opportunity of giving money to the couple to help them start their new life together.  Through the website, the couple can set a goal for a honeymoon or other big ticket item and guests can contribute financially to the overall goal instead of just through a few new household products. This cash gift feature is not limited to weddings, so it can be added to any registry or party type.

In addition to the gift registry and wedding planning tools, ItsMyGiftRegistry.com also offers free party planning options, which are perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, potlucks or any other event where guests bring gifts or contribute to the party.  By using the Party Checklist, hosts can create a party website where guests will see everything from gift ideas to a food and drink checklist.  Party attendees can then check off what they plan on bringing, thereby splitting the cost of the party with the host.

“Everyone is conscious of their budgets in this economy and maybe they don’t think they can afford to throw a party,” says Arcila.  “Our party checklist feature is one of our free party planning tools designed to make it possible for people to celebrate life’s important events without having all the money in the world.”
