Going to a wedding this summer, but fretting over the perfect gift and how much to spend?

According to a recent survey of 10,000 brides and 5,000 newlyweds conducted by The Knot (www.theknot.com), the leading wedding website, in partnership with Kohl's Bridal Aisle (www.kohls.com), couples today have very specific wishes when it comes to their wedding gift desires. Here are the must-know rules for wedding gift shopping for 2005 based on survey findings and expertise from editor in chief of The Knot, Carley Roney:

Do Buy A Gift From Their Registry
Do your very best to buy a gift from the couple's registry - whether in the store or on the Web. Nearly 85 percent of today's to-be-weds want you to select a gift from their wish list, and 98 percent of them have created at least one wedding gift registry list. Most brides surveyed indicated that they registered before the bridal shower, giving guests plenty of lead-time to shop off their wishlists. If you're a friend of the groom and you're not sure which gift will suit his taste, don't worry that you'll disappoint: over 90 percent of grooms are involved in creating the gift registry list today, with over60 percent having participated in every single decision.
