It is up to you to decide whether friends and family will need a password to view your registry online in your Privacy Settings within your registry profile. This password will only be necessary when your guests shop online. All registries are available for viewing in our stores without a password.
If you decide to select a password, you will need to share it directly with your friends and family. west elm will not disclose any passwords.
Yes. You may specify a ship-to address for both before and after the event. Make sure when designating an address that there will be someone present to accept deliveries.
We will send you an email when an item we normally carry year–round is no longer going to be offered, so that you can choose to either purchase that item while quantities are still in stock, or add something else to your registry instead.
For backordered items, a message will appear under "Registry Status" after you log into your registry. Friends and family can still purchase these items for you for a later delivery.
Your Gift Registry will remain active for one year after the date of the event.
If you would like to remove your registry from us, simple select the "Delete" button next to your registry in Manage Registry mode.
Yes, you can register for Gift Cards. Many guests would like to give Gift Cards, but would feel more comfortable doing so if they knew it was an option you had requested. Gift Cards are also a good backup to have in case your registry reaches completion and a guest isn't sure what you'd like.
During the registry creation process, just indicate at the bottom of the Shipping Information page that you'd like to receive Gift Cards. If you decide after you have registered that you would appreciate Gift Cards from your guests, simply click on the link to "My Profile" within the Manage My Registry page. You will be able to track Gift Card purchases in the Thank You Note Manager. Gift Cards may be redeemed online, by phone or at west elm stores.
