With today’s economy and the rising unemployment rate, more people are open to other options in finding a job.  Relocation is probably not one of the most attractive option, but it is a good one at this point.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics posted a list of the 25 best cities to find a job where unemployment rates are the lowest.  Six of the 25 cities didn’t even have any change in their unemployment rates.

Jenny Lee Bridal Sample Sale

Traditionally, couples register for home items to help them start their new life. In present times, more couples have already established a home of their own before they marry, and home items are things they no longer need.  In response to this growing trend, other types of registries emerge.  Couples now have more options when it comes to wedding registries.

Wedding Registry Direct allows couples to register for wedding products and services from photography to cakes.  It’s one way to tell your guests, “I want you to help me pay for my wedding.”  Admit it brides, weddings are expensive and it would be awesome if guests choose to contribute or help with your wedding.  But of course, etiquette says you are not allowed to ask your guests exactly that.

What are your opinions about this type of registry?
