FAQ

• Items on your wedding registry should be for you and your spouse to kickstart your new life together. We recommend skipping things like clothing, beauty products, items related to intimacy, or anything else that is clearly for one person or too personal, if you know what we mean. Also, consider that guests all have different gifting budgets, so keep super expensive items at a minimum (or skip completely).

• Create your registry at least six months before the big day or before your first wedding-related event (like your bridal shower). If you're creating a wedding website, it's wise to include a link to your registry to make gifting easy for guests, so make sure you complete your list by the time your site goes live.
