Basically, this is the website I wish existed when I got engaged! Here are suggestions for items for your wedding registry by category. I also have linked recommendations for each item, which are either the ones I personally have, use, and love or what I plan to upgrade to. I am not affiliated with any of these brands but I hope to help the complicated process of making a wedding registry easy for you. Also, feel free to splurge with your wedding registry. Add items at various price points, but don’t be afraid to add things you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself. Engaged couples may be at any point in their life – still living with their parents, living separately, living together in an apartment, living together in a house, etc. Make your wedding registry a reflection of the things you want or need for your new life together.
