TLDR:

  • Today's wedding registry items border on the traditional—think a 10-speed stand mixer and espresso machines—but also branch out to the practical, like an Airbnb gift card.
  • Don't feel like you have to meet anyone else's expectations when thinking about wedidng registry gifts. Put what you need or want on your list.
  • Our wedding registry ideas include everything from wine glasses and a cookware set to things to make your bedding super plush.

Now, let's talk wedding registry ideas!

Brainstorming wedding registry ideas is arguably one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning. What’s not to love about crafting a curated wish list to kick off your lives as newlyweds?

Not only has Zola curated a list of popular wedding registry ideas, ranging from unique to necessity, but you can also learn what you should know before even setting your registry up.

Your wedding registry is your guests’ true north for choosing the perfect wedding gift, and it streamlines the entire gift-giving and receiving process. Ultimately, your wedding registry should align with you and your partner’s goals.

When trying to curate the perfect list, start with the Zola™ Wedding Registry to get your creative juices flowing. Not only can you add practical items like bedding and cookware to your wish list, but there are plenty of opportunities to think outside of the box. For example, you can start a cash fund, splurge on a honeymoon experience, or ask for travel gift cards.

No matter what you put on your Zola wedding registry—from Zola or other sites—your loved ones will find it easy to select the perfect gift. Bonus: You can also find items exclusive to Zola that aren’t sold anywhere else. And if you don’t get a few key items, most are 20% off for six months after the big day.

However, maybe your home is already furnished, but you’re saving for renovations. In that case, your registry is begging for a cash fund. Or perhaps you’d happily forfeit material gifts for a fully funded honeymoon. Maybe this is a chance to finally stock up on those home essentials you never bothered with when you were single things like quality bedding, upgraded cookware, or kitchen dishes (that actually match).

Even if you think you’re pretty much covered with everything you need to kickstart married life, you’ll find wedding registry ideas and useful advice that you might not have considered for your special occasion.

Why do I need a wedding registry?

A wedding registry lets you curate all your gift preferences in one place (and avoid receiving gifts you don’t really need). Friends, family, and loved ones are usually very eager to purchase gifts for newlyweds, and your registry helps them feel confident that they’re getting you something you’ll love. Online registry perks like group gifting, controlled shipping, easy gift exchanges, and post-wedding discounts also make the shopping experience more efficient for both you and your guests.

FAQ About wedding registries

1. Is it okay to keep adding to your registry?

Yes, of course! Not only will different guests take a look at your registry at different times, but they’ll also appreciate a wider range of wedding registry ideas to scroll through as time passes. If you think of something you’d love closer to the big day, add it to your online wedding registry!

Check out this article for more info on how a wedding registry works.

2. What should you not put on your wedding registry?

Your wedding registry should include items you know you and your partner will use for years to come. Avoid adding highly personal gifts that are specific to just one of you. Instead, opt for things you can share with your partner as you begin your new life together.

3. Is it ok to ask for money instead of gifts?

Absolutely. Cash-specific funds are becoming increasingly popular, and guests can still feel excited about contributing to a designated fund rather than handing you an envelope of cash. This works even better when you tell your guests what you’re saving for, like your honeymoon or home improvements.
