Download a Gift Registry:

Before deleting a registry, please consider first backing it up. There are four parts of a registry that you'll wish to back up. They are:

1. Registrant's profile. This includes the registrant's name, address, telephone number, email, etc.
2. Gift list.  These are the items on the registry list (aka the gifts that can be bought). 
3. Purchases. This includes the customer's name, address, telephone number, email, etc.
4. Special pricing.  These are unique prices (often discounts) that were assigned to the items on the registry list.
