How to set up a wedding registry

Three easy steps to add gifts, cash funds, and everything in between.

    First, what is a wedding registry?

    A wedding registry is your place to save everything you’d love to receive as you start your next chapter together. Fill it with gifts from the Zola Store, partner brands, cash funds, or any online store using our browser extension.

  • Three registry cards side by side — a Le Creuset Signature Dutch Oven, a Lowe’s gift card, and an Our Honeymoon cash fund — stamped zero-fee 0% cash funds

    Next, add gifts and cash funds.

    There’s no right or wrong way to set up a wedding registry. Mix everyday essentials with cash funds or experiences that matter most. Best of all, unlike many registry platforms that charge 2–3% per cash gift, Zola charges 0%, so every dollar goes directly to you.

    Lastly, how does a wedding registry work?

    Because your registry is already connected to your Zola wedding website, guests can shop everything you’ve added, from gifts to cash funds, all from one easy-to-share link.

Wedding registry FAQs

  • What should we include in our wedding registry checklist?

    A great wedding registry includes a mix of everyday essentials, meaningful upgrades, and a few fun splurges. Start with the kitchen and add cookware, appliances, dinnerware, and drinkware, then move on to bedding, bath towels, and home essentials you’ll use every day. Don’t forget flexible cash funds for things like your honeymoon, home renovations, or future adventures.

  • So, what makes Zola one of the best places to register for wedding gifts?

    Zola makes it easy to build one wedding registry for everything. Add gifts from top brands, local shops, and any online store, plus experiences and zero-fee cash funds—all in one place. Your registry automatically connects to your free wedding website, making it easy for guests to shop with one link. Plus, you can exchange eligible gifts or convert them to Zola store credit if your plans change.

  • Any pro tips for what to register for?

    Our wedding experts recommend building a registry with gifts at a variety of price points, so every guest can find something they’ll love giving. Our expert wedding advisors from Team Z also recommend registering for 12 place settings, plus an extra set of sheets and bath towels (you’ll thank yourself later when everyday favorites inevitably need replacing).

  • Any advice for cash funds?

    Don’t be afraid to be specific. Guests love knowing what they’re contributing toward, whether it’s a fancy meal or a scuba lesson on your honeymoon, refurbishing your hardwood floors, or outfitting your adventuremobile for a bucket list trip. Giving details helps guests feel more connected to your plans and makes giving even more meaningful.

  • What are some gifts guests love to give?

    Classic registry favorites like cookware, stand mixers, bedding, and knife sets are always popular, but guests also love to know that they’re contributing to your big life goals with honeymoon funds, first-home funds, and memorable experiences. Offering a mix of traditional gifts and cash funds gives everyone something they’ll feel excited to give.

  • When should we start our registry?

    The earlier, the better. Create your wedding registry soon after you get engaged so friends and family can celebrate from the very beginning. Then keep adding gifts, cash funds, and experiences leading up to your shower and wedding day.

  • What are some registry mistakes to avoid?

    One of the biggest wedding registry mistakes is waiting too long to create your registry or making guests shop across multiple registries. Start your registry early, and keep everything in one place so it’s easy for guests to find exactly what they’re looking for. Another common mistake? Not adding enough gifts. Give guests plenty of options at a variety of price points, then keep updating your registry as your plans evolve.
