Wedding Gift Registry Ideas
Imagine this: your big day is here, you’ve made it through the reception and now it’s time to party. Guests start to arrive and they’re all carrying parcels. It’s tradition to buy the new couple a gift for their wedding day. Luckily for us, today we’ve got wedding registries to help guide our guests towards buying the perfect gifts; lists full of things we need and want to ensure we don’t end up with an item that we already have three of (like a chia pet or Snuggie–don't worry, I'm not judging you!).
Below are some of my favorite spots to register for weddings. Pro Tip: Register both online and in an actual store. Some people don’t have access to the internet and need to know where to go in the event they can’t view your online registry. On the other hand, some people prefer buying online. Therefore, having both an online option and a physical location option gives you better chances receiving gifts you register for.
Online
