Helpful Tips to Get Started:
- Consider what you need: Use this list as a starting point — only add items that make sense for your lifestyle and needs.
- Start early: Give yourself plenty of time to select your favorite wedding registry items and make changes if needed.
- Work with your partner: Your wedding registry items are for both of you to enjoy. Plus, it can be a fun bonding experience!
- Consider registering for more than physical gifts: Joy’s all-in-one registry allows guests to give you a gift card or contribute to your honeymoon.
- Use a wedding registry checklist: This will help narrow down your “musts” and “maybes” and ensure you don’t forget anything important.
- Register for products in multiple price points: This way, wedding guests can choose an item they’re enthusiastic about within a comfortable price range.
- Register for more gifts than you have guests: There’s no “right” answer, but a good rule of thumb is to multiply your guest list by two to get a rough number.
