 Advice from the Experts at Bed Bath & Beyond(R) to Help Make Your Wedding
                             Planning a Breeze

    UNION, N.J., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Are you one of the thousands of
couples who got engaged over the holidays? You're about to share your lives
with each other, let the experts at Bed Bath & Beyond share their expertise
with you.

      "This is the time for you and your soon-to-be to get everything you
ever wanted," commented Kristen Schoenfield, Director of Bed Bath &
Beyond's Bridal & Gift Registry. "The time to start from scratch; to
upgrade, expand and replace. To turn a whole bunch of mismatched mine and
yours into a lifetime of ours."

    Schoenfield offers the following advice:

    Don't Rush it. A lot of couples get overwhelmed, feeling they have to
get it all done at once. This is totally normal. When it comes to
registering, relax, take your time and have fun. Go back to the store as
many times as you need, or update your registry online.

    Options are a Good Thing. Your guests will appreciate a variety of
products and price points to choose from. So make sure to scan fine china
and measuring cups.

    Get Free Stuff. Many manufacturers offer great gifts when you include
their products on your registry. Ask your bridal consultant about them.



    Register Now, Because You Won't Buy it Later. You may think you will
... but you won't. Trust us. Now is the time to splurge and let others get
you the stuff you'd never buy yourself. Remember, your family and friends
want to buy gifts for you. Let them.

    Don't Forget the Luggage. Creating a home is more than just sheets,
towels, pots and pans. At Bed Bath & Beyond, you can register for an
espresso maker, a wine cellar and even luggage. Then, when someone says,
"you two have serious baggage," you can take it as a compliment.

    Refresh and Replenish. Don't forget to periodically update your
registry by adding more products if you need to, even after the wedding. Be
kind to procrastinators.

    Once you've set up your bridal registry, take advantage of our Bridal
Toolkit(TM), the complimentary wedding planning tools available at
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com, including your own personal wedding
website, task manager and timeline, guest list manager, gift tracker and
even a seating arranger. This way, all of your information can be stored in
one convenient place.

    When you register at any Bed Bath & Beyond store or at
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com, you make it easy for your guests to shop
nationwide or online. Guests will enjoy complimentary gift packaging and
you'll love the hassle-free return and exchange policy. So, congratulations
and best wishes on your engagement. Now get registering and let the gift
giving begin!
