How will returns be handled?
The Bridal Vantage™ Gift Cash Registry provides for a lump sum distribution by check either before, or after the scheduled event. It is set up this way so that the registrant can set goals and receive cash gifts to meet these goals for various events in their lives. That being the case, returns can be made up to a week before the scheduled event, or a week before the registrants scheduled “cash out”, which ever date comes first. We are not liable for return requests once the return period has passed. The processing fee is non-refundable.
Example 1: Wedding date of June 30th with July 16th cash out date. All returns would need to requested by June 23rd.
Example 2: Wedding date of June 30th with June 23trd cash out date. All returns would need to requested by June 16th.
