3, 2, 1 … Shop: 25 Wedding Registry Ideas to Add to Your List

Next to cake tasting, picking out gifts for your registry might be the most enjoyable part of the wedding planning process. As an engaged couple, we hope you thoroughly enjoy selecting items for your registry and have fun with it. At what other point in your life can you hand-select dozens of potential gifts?

To help you out, we’re recommending our top 25 wedding registry ideas. From mixology bar sets to luxury bedding and must-have kitchen items, you’ll find potential wedding gifts you and your fiance will love forever.

Mapping Out Your Wedding Registry Ideas 

Three, two, one, shop! When piecing together your registry, remember to include items at a number of different price points. Ideally, you’ll create a registry that’s convenient for your wedding guests to access — for example, stores with locations across multiple U.S. cities (like West Elm, Pottery Barn, Target, and Ikea ) or online retailers like Amazon that ship nationwide. 

That said, wedding registries are also a wonderful opportunity to support small, locally-owned businesses, so feel free to include those option for your local guests.

Once you’ve chosen where to register, Greenvelope can help you send the information to all your guests. You can add your registry details directly to your wedding invitation, making it easy for guests to find your favorite things.

Below, you’ll find plenty of ideas and the best wedding registry items at every price range. If a gift is particularly pricey, you could also mention in your wedding registry that multiple guests can pitch in to get that gift.
