After receiving an invitation to a loved one's wedding, you may start making your travel plans, considering what you're going to wear, and thinking about what you may give to them as they embark on the next chapter of their life. While some couples opt to create a detailed registry that's full of the items (and experiences!) they're currently eyeing, others may decide on a more pared-back approach. Even though neither is right or wrong, both types of lists require you to carefully consider which request of theirs you'll want to fulfill.
However, regardless of whether you've known the bride and groom for two or twenty years, figuring out the perfect gift for them can be a difficult task. When considering the ideal pick for the newlyweds, think about their lifestyle, living situation, and personal preferences. For example, if they enjoy spending cozy date nights in, upgrade their Friday dinner routine with elegant placemats and stemware. However, if they prefer to spend their afternoons lounging outside, transform their backyard into something reminiscent of the Italian countryside with a chic umbrella and durable cocktail glasses.
Below, we've rounded up the 14 wedding registry gifts we're planning on giving to the newlyweds in our lives right now. Read on for all of our top picks.

An amazing umbrella that looks as good on your patio as it does on the beach is a summer wedding gift any couple would want to receive, and it's a present they'll get use out of for years to come." —Gabriella Rello Duffy, senior editorial director
