I asked you on Stories what your tips were for gift registries, and here were the most popular answers! Thank you all so much!

Wedding Registry Tips

General Tips

  • Look at other people’s registries to get ideas/ see what you missed!

  • Make sure you have the cabinet/ storage space for everything on your registry

Where to Register?

  • In general: stores usually give you a discount on what you didn’t receive if you want to buy the products after the wedding date

  • Zola – you can host many different registries on one! And they do free shipping

  • Crate & Barrel – very high quality and they have awesome in-store registry events

  • Target

  • Bed Bath & Beyond – merch credit can also be used at Cost Plus World Market

  • William Sonoma – merch credit can also be used at West Elm and Mark & Graham

  • Amazon

  • Pottery Barn

What to Ask For

  • Do a honeymoon fund (and other “funds” like city tours, cooking classes) where people can gift an amount they wish. It’s also ok to ONLY register for the honeymoon fund!

  • List a variety of price points for guests with varied budgets

  • You can register for gift cards! Then you can get what exactly you want

  • Register for what you want & what you’ll actually use – don’t feel obligated to register for what you “should” get

  • Specific items to make sure you don’t forget: tools, lawn equipment, picture frames, high quality coffee maker, Le Creuset, steam mop, good knives, new bedding, luggage, camping gear, Dyson vacuum, board games, Instant pot, chip clips

  • It’s ok to ask for higher ticket items that will last, e.g. Vitamix, fancy bedding – for these higher ticket items, allow guests to “contribute” an amount towards them

  • Season tickets to your favorite sports team!

  • Many ladies said to not worry about fancy china that you’ll so rarely use! 🙂

  • Don’t go cheap with items you’ll use every day

  • Just ask for cash if you prefer

  • Add in some bigger ticket items to your registry for those who want to give more

  • Conversely, don’t be afraid to ask for the little things you need!
