It all depends on what you need or want for your wedding or bridal registry. For instance, if you and your partner recently moved in together or bought a new house, your wish list may include a stand mixer, dinnerware, or kitchen gadgets. If you prefer cash gifts to have control over what to buy, you can set up a cash registry and link it to a goal such as a romantic honeymoon or a downpayment on your dream house. Whatever your preferences, be sure to briefly explain your reasoning in a note or on your wedding website.

It’s best to start your registry any time between the time you start wedding planning and about 4 months before your wedding day. You’ll likely want to set up your registry before sending out wedding invitations, as guests are likely to want to know by that time.

When creating your wedding registry, you’ll want to give guests plenty of options, so the best bet is to register for more gifts than you have guests. For example, in a wedding with 90 guests you would want to have at least 100 registry items. You can build registries with multiple brands like Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Crate & Barrel, and Williams-Sonoma, and then sync them all to your Joy registry for an easier guest shopping experience.

For your family and friends who are more used to gift registries, it’s helpful to include a note explaining what their cash gift will go towards and expressing your gratitude for any amount they are able to give.

Not at all! In fact, in many places outside of the US, it’s common (and sometimes expected) to give money in lieu of traditional gifts. In recent years, cash gifting has become more and more popular in the US, as a way of elevating experiences instead of accumulating things, thanks in part to the emergence of cash registry platforms such as Joy and Honeyfund. Check out our article Cash Wedding Registries: An Introductory Guide for best practices on how to navigate the cash ask on your wedding website.

It’s always good to give your loved ones plenty of gift ideas. Some wedding guests may be uncomfortable with the idea of giving money, so it’s best to include the option of a wedding gift registry as well.

Yes! Joy allows you to keep track of who has given a gift and send guests personalized messages.

Creating a wedding registry may seem like a daunting task, especially when you’re already busy planning your wedding and juggling numerous other responsibilities. However, don’t fret! Building your registry with Joy is incredibly simple. Once you’ve registered, all you need to do is visit our shop and start adding gifts.
Keep in mind that you can also include gifts from your favorite stores or even replicate any registries you’ve created with other companies. Additionally, you have the option to add gifts from your friends’ registries, making the process even more convenient and personalized.

There’s no need for you to create a wedding registry checklist. Joy offers you a Registry Checklist so you don’t forget to add any of the things you’ll need for this new chapter of your life. Of course, what you’ll need depends on your lifestyle and preferences. A couple who is moving into a new space for the first time together will likely have a different registry than a couple who is planning to travel the world.
A good way to start your registry is to begin choosing essentials for your new life together, such as kitchen gadgets, home essentials, and linens. Remember to include a variety of items from different price ranges to accommodate all your guests’ budgets. Additionally, consider adding cash funds for future plans and charitable donations to infuse your registry with meaning. Experiences are another fantastic addition, allowing you to create memories that will last a lifetime. Ultimately, your registry should serve as a reflection of your needs and desires, ensuring that your loved ones can support you in various ways as you embark on this new journey together. By curating a diverse selection of gifts, you’ll provide your guests with ample options to choose from, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable gift-giving experience.

While there’s no specific number of gifts you should aim for on your wedding registry, it’s generally advisable to have more items than guests. This approach ensures that your registry offers a diverse range of options, accommodating various preferences and budgets. To assist you in determining the ideal number of gifts, Joy provides a convenient Registry Calculator tool. Simply input your guest count, and the tool will recommend a suitable number of gifts for your registry, ensuring balance across different price ranges. This proactive approach simplifies the gift selection process for your guests and helps you create a comprehensive registry that aligns with your needs and preferences. Whether you’re seeking household essentials, cash funds, or memorable experiences, a diverse selection ensures that your registry reflects your unique personality and desires.
Additionally, take advantage of our 20% Registry Completion Discount on items remaining in your registry after your special day. Consider adding items you definitely want to have to enjoy them later at a discounted price.

You can start your registry whenever you like, but we recommend creating your wedding registry approximately 8-9 months before your wedding date. This timeframe allows you to thoughtfully curate your registry, selecting items that suit your lifestyle and preferences. Moreover, starting early gives your guests ample time to browse and choose the perfect gifts, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable shopping experience for everyone involved. Finalizing your registry before sending out shower or wedding invitations is essential, as it allows your guests to plan and purchase their gifts in advance. By beginning the registry process well in advance, you eliminate any last-minute rushing and ensure that your registry accurately reflects your needs and desires as you embark on this exciting new chapter of your life together.

Well, there’s no real difference between a bridal registry and a wedding registry. It’s just a matter of framing. Traditionally, women were more often involved in creating the registries, and that’s why the name became attributed to the bride. But today, we know a wedding is a joint venture, where it is common not only for both partners to create their registries together but also for the titles 'groom' and 'bride' to be irrelevant in many cases.

Creating a wedding registry offers numerous benefits for both couples and their guests. While it’s true that friends and family may want to purchase gifts regardless of whether a registry exists, having one ensures that couples receive items, experiences, or cash fund contributions that align with their needs and preferences. A wedding registry serves as a helpful guide for guests, directing them toward gifts that the couple will genuinely appreciate and use.
Additionally, by creating a registry, couples can avoid receiving duplicate or impractical gifts, ensuring that every gift contributes to their future together. Furthermore, a wedding registry allows couples to express their unique personalities and aspirations, whether through selecting household items, planning experiences, or supporting charitable causes. Ultimately, creating a wedding registry is a win-win situation for both couples and their guests, facilitating a meaningful and enjoyable gift-giving experience that celebrates the couple’s love and journey together.
