When Creating Your Wedding Registry…
A wedding registry usually consists of all the things that make a house a home. Most couples will register for silverware, toasters, glassware, china, fine linens, and other household appliances. You can be much more flexible!
If you want to give your guests options when buying gifts, here are some tips:
-
What are your hobbies?
If you are more artistic, gifts such as wall art, candles, paintings, flowerpots, mirrors and other interior accessories are perfect for adding a personal touch to your new home. Outdoorsy couples may enjoy gardening tools, camping equipment, and sports-related items. This is your wedding. Feel free to register for gifts that you will enjoy using.
-
What does your future hold?
Think of all the memories you and your spouse will create over the years to come. Gifts as small as picture albums, scrapbooking materials, and picture frames will help immortalize these memories.
-
How flexible can you be with your registry?
There are multiple options for everything. Register for multiple designs, both casual and formal. Your guests will be able to choose a gift that fits within their budget!
-
Have you thought about a honeymoon registry?
Nowadays, it’s quite common to offer a honeymoon registry. Your guests can buy you excursions, hotel upgrades, or a flight! Talk to a professional travel agency about your options for setting one up. Keep in mind, however, that it will only be as successful as your guests allow.

Donations
You may find that you have everything you need to start your future together. If this is the case, your guests can donate money to a certain charity or fund of your choice. This way, your guests won’t waste money on things you already have.
Registering for gifts can be one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning. You get to imagine your future with your fiance and begin building your perfect home. If you’ve already been living together, though, or have plenty of sufficient household items, there are a lot of alternative registry options to please any guests’ budget.
