Instructions

If you are at this site then we assume you received your wedding invitation. Yay!

Well, being the trendy crowd followers that we are, we decided to follow the other lemmings and put our registry on blogger. Now just because we put a few ideas here, doesn't mean that you can't use your imagination and buy us something that isn't on the list (don't worry we won't turn you over to the registry police).

For those who don't know how this works, here are some instructions:

We have tried to group things into relevant categories to make it easier to find things. Simply click on the category on the right and the suggestions will come up.

Once you have decided on an item:
- Check that it appears under the 'Gifts Available' heading
- Check under the 'Items Selected' and 'Items Selected Today' to see if anyone else has chosen the gift
- Click the 'Post a Comment' button
- Type the name of the item into the box
- Click on the anonymous button
- Click the publish comment button

After all that your comment should appear in the 'Items Selected Today' section. If you have any trouble using this site, please contact Nathan or Kerryn or Tim or Bec or Sam or Louise, as they all have much more experience with this than us. :) (But if you really want to ask us a question you can do so at colinandlyndell@gmail.com.)

We're very excited (and just a little stressed) about the upcoming wedding and look forward to you joining us for the special day.

Colin and I have both been blessed with so much. Instead of giving us a gift, how about giving someone else a gift? Here are some suggestions...

Tear Foundation - Useful Gift Registry: http://www.usefulgifts.org/ Tear Foundation seeks to improve the lives and livelihood of marginalised people. This website allows you to purchase useful gifts for marginalised people such as school supplies, toilets, goats, safe water, literacy and health classes and much more.

Wycliffe: www.wycliffe.org.au This is an organisation that seeks to place Bibles in everybodies heart language. They also work within the communities to improve literacy.

Compassion: www.compassion.com.au This is an organisation that seeks to improve children's lives through sponsorship.
