New Website Feature Makes Party Planning Easy, Affordable

ItsMyGiftRegistry.com’s Party Checklist feature allows party hosts to share the cost and responsibility of throwing a party on any budget.

New York, N.Y.  / Just in time for Labor Day parties and fall barbecues, a new website feature is making it easier and more affordable than ever to throw the perfect party.  ItsMyGiftRegistry.com’s Party Checklist is designed to spread the cost and responsibility of party planning among party guests, taking the burden off the host and getting the guests involved.

The free Party Checklist feature acts as an invitation service, a party planning tool, and even an online community forum where party hosts and guests can interact with each other.  The party checklist is perfect for birthday parties, barbecues, pot lucks, or even reunions.  Guests get an e-mailed invitation from the website and can then go and sign up to bring an item from the checklist to the party.  Ruben Arcila, president of My Gift Registry, LLC, says the new website feature is designed to help people who want to throw a party, but don’t think they can afford to do so.  

“The expenses incurred in the planning of a party no longer have to be the sole responsibility of the host,” says Arcila.  “The party checklist allows the items to be allotted to the guests, which leaves money in everyone’s pocket.”

As with the rest of the features on ItsMyGiftRegistry.com, the Party Checklist is free and easy to use.  Hosts simply make a list of the items for their event, and then invite the guests via e-mail from the website.  The website takes care of the rest. Hosts can make their party’s checklist as simple or as creative as they want. Guests visit the website and check off what they choose to bring the party. The checklist can have pictures and links to specific party items and gives guests a one-stop party information source that is available whenever they need it. Perhaps most importantly, the party checklist feature makes it easy to celebrate a special occasion on any budget.  

“Whether we’re rich or we’re poor or we’re somewhere in between, we all have dreams and important moments in our lives that we want to celebrate,” says Arcila.  “ItsMyGiftRegistry.com allows these celebrations to become a reality without breaking the bank.”

One-Stop Gift Registry Becomes Reality as New Website Takes Stress Out of Wedding, Party Planning

ItsMyGiftRegistry.com makes it easy to create a registry and add items from any store, anywhere, allowing members to plan their event from a single location.

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.”

The website is due to launch by August 1^st, just in time for the start of the fall wedding season.
