NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Following the end of Proposal Season—the months between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day when the majority of US couples get engaged*—The Knot celebrates National Wedding Planning Day on March 1. National Wedding Planning Day is both a time for celebration and a time to jump-start wedding planning for nearly 1 million newly engaged couples. In honor of the holiday, The Knot is hosting 10 hours of livestreaming segments—from defining your wedding style and budget tips, to etiquette advice and registry 101—on Facebook and Instagram to help inspire, inform and connect with wedding-planning couples across the globe. In addition, The Knot will gift lucky couples from around the US their very first wedding gift off The Knot Registry all throughout the month of March.

Today’s couples use their wedding celebrations to showcase their own unique love stories and personal style by incorporating customized details. From traditional Chinese silk lanterns to honor a bride’s heritage, to a street taco bar to share their favorite eats, no detail is without significance. Couples are not only sharing who they are and what they value on their wedding day, but also through the creation of their personal wedding registries—which reflect their relationship, lifestyle, and offers a glimpse of what’s in store for their lives after “I do.”

In celebration of couples’ unique wedding visions and their future plans as newlyweds, The Knot is offering couples a chance to win their very first gift off their custom curated wedding registry during the month of March when they create a registry on The Knot Registry. The Knot Registry allows couples to curate their ideal wedding registry: From household favorites at traditional retailers and niche online shops, to cash funds for a new home or adoption and honeymoon experiences or charity organizations close to their hearts, The Knot Registry is the perfect solution for couples who don’t want to feel limited by what they can put on their wedding registry or where they can register. Through The Knot Registry, couples are able to register for gifts at a wide range of price points and find the best prices on popular retail registry items, making gifting that much easier for guests.

“Couples aren’t just planning a wedding, they’re planning for their future lives together. As the leading resource for every step of wedding planning, The Knot celebrates National Wedding Planning Day on March 1 with 10 hours of live content to help empower brides and grooms to plan a celebration that’s perfectly them,” says Kristen Maxwell Cooper, The Knot editor in chief. “We know an important part of the planning journey includes setting up a wedding registry so couples can prepare for their lives together. From top-notch kitchen appliances, to cash for experiences on their honeymoon, or a fertility fund to grow their family, there’s no limit to what to-be-weds can register for on The Knot Registry. We’re excited to play a part in couple’s futures by gifting them their very first wedding gift.”
