Creating your wedding registry is tons of fun, but can also be a daunting task. How on earth do you make sure you register for everything you could possibly need? What if you forget something? How do you make sure you have enough items in a variety of price ranges for your guests to choose from?

If you’re looking to find out how to create a great wedding registry, be sure to attend the Past Basket Bridal Registry Event on Sunday, March 9 from 12 – 3 p.m. at Past Basket Milwaukee, 383 West Brown Deer Rd., Milwaukee.

There, you’ll meet Juliska Director of Sales Safa S. Hummel, who will provide a wealth of information about Juliska tableware, plus tips to a great registry – something every bride needs! You’ll also have the chance to browse a variety of lines offered at Past Basket, and hear about the advantages of starting a registry there.

The store will showcase table settings and fully dressed beds to inspire you, and demonstrate how different pieces can be paired. Plus – new spring 2014 products will be featured!
