    Wedding Registry

    A curated list of items the couple wants as gifts, hosted on retailer sites or a cash-fund platform.

    A registry is a wish-list of gifts the couple has selected, often spread across 2-3 retailers (one home/kitchen, one experiential, and one cash or honeymoon fund). Modern registries skew toward cash funds and experience gifts vs. traditional homewares.

    Link your registry from the wedding website, never from the invitation itself (still considered impolite). Most registries should include items at $25, $75, and $150+ price points so every guest can find something at their level.
