Wedding Registry

I recommend choosing items you need for your home or something you d like to upgrade some ideas are

China/new dinnerware

Silverware (or an extra set if you plan on hosting family frequently)

bar ware

Air fryer

Standmixer

Pots and Pans

Home decor

Storage Containers

Dutch Oven

Toaster Oven

N'espresso

Candles

Baskets

Meat thermometer

Baking pans

Glassware

Electric Kettle

Nice Vacuum

Nest

Patio Furniture

Kitchen Gadgets

Hamper

Sheets

Duvet/Comforter

Towels

Luggage

Tool set

Mop

Something related to hobbies you both have

Outdoor grill

On amazon I *think* you can register for gift cards

Definitely look through the list that Rosebud shared, there are a lot of good ideas on there! Also take a look around your home and think about what things you don't currently have that would be nice to have (maybe an Instant Pot or a set of table lamps or some new board games, etc) or things you already have but want to upgrade (new towels or new silverware or new trash cans, etc). It can also be for shared hobbies - if you're both into camping, you could add a new tent or outdoor cooking supplies or a cast iron pan or anything along those lines. If you're both into concerts/music, you could put a ticket stub book on your registry, or a Bluetooth speaker, or even concert tickets. Whatever you put on your registry should be something that would be for both of you, so avoid putting things like women's shoes or men's hats or something that aligns with one person's interests, but not the other.

You can do a registry through Etsy and pick out fun monogrammed things or items with your new last name on them!

Something that we are doing and that our friends do is limit the items on the registry. Instead of material gifts, people bring cash.

Thank you so much!!!

We’re personally not doing a registry (mostly because we live together and have everything we need) But we’re also moving into an RV to travel full time next year so we’ll be packing up/ selling a lot anyway. So we said to give cash if you wish to give a gift. We already had family tell us they’d be giving us cash before we even asked. It’s not taboo in our circle

We've lived together for a couple years, so we included some things for the kitchen we wanted but didn't necessarily NEED, we just built a bar in the basement so included tons of things for that, we added new towels and sheets to upgrade ours, we are transitioning to a "smart home" so we included things like smart bulbs and a nest thermostat, and then after my bridal shower, I added things we wanted for our home that weren't traditional registry type things, just because certain registry sites give you a discount after the wedding, so like our coffee bar cabinet we want and the basement living room coffee table and rug, things like that, that we knew we'd be purchasing but this way we get a slight discount lol
