Searching for wedding registry ideas? Check out our list of favorites for every room of your house and every budget.
Jump right into our registry gift ideas (with spending guidelines) or continue reading about what you should know before setting one up.
Brainstorming wedding registry ideas is arguably one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning. What’s not to love about crafting a curated wish list to kick off your lives as newlyweds?
Your wedding registry is your guests’ true north for choosing the perfect wedding gift, and it streamlines the entire gift-giving and receiving process. Instead of winding up with a slow cooker you don’t need, your registry makes it easy for guests to choose gifts you and your partner truly want or need.
Deciding what to add to your wedding registry is highly personal, and there are plenty of creative options if material gifts aren’t your thing. Honeymoon funds, cash funds, and even charity funds are all fair game.
Ultimately, your wedding registry should align with you and your partner’s goals. Maybe your home is already furnished but you’re saving for renovations—add a cash fund! Or perhaps you’d happily forfeit material gifts for a fully funded honeymoon. On the flip side, you might finally stock up on those home essentials you never bothered with when you were single—things like quality bedding, upgraded cookware, or kitchen dishes (that actually match).

Find answers to any lingering wedding registry questions below.
A wedding registry lets you curate all your gift preferences in one place (and avoid receiving gifts you don’t really need). Friends, family, and loved ones are usually very eager to purchase gifts for newlyweds, and your registry helps them feel confident that they’re getting you something you’ll love!
Online registry perks like group gifting, controlled shipping, easy gift exchanges, and post-wedding discounts also make the shopping experience more efficient for both you and your guests.
Absolutely. Cash-specific funds are becoming increasingly popular, and guests can still feel excited about contributing to a designated fund rather than handing you an envelope of cash.
Your wedding registry should include items you know you and your partner will use for years to come—avoid adding highly personal gifts that are specific to just one of you. Instead, opt for things you can share with your partner as you begin your new life together. Be intentional with your selections, and only add items you’ll truly use.
