Weddings are a celebration of starting a new life together, which means your guests will often want to give you something to help you get started as a married couple. A good rule of thumb is to register for at least two items per guest at a variety of price points.
registries
Gifts are never expected or required, but most guests will want to help celebrate you. A gift registry lets them know items you want to receive rather than having to guess. You also don’ t have to register for anything you don’t need, like fancy China or matching towels. Your registry should reflect you as a couple and the life you want to build together, so feel free to get creative.

Many stores make it easy for couples to register. Some allow you to create a list online, and others use an app you can simply walk around the store and scan items with. The important part is for you both to have input on what gifts you register for.
think outside the box
If you already have a kitchen full of gadgets or prefer not to ask for material items, there are other less traditional options too: • Set up a honeymoon or bucket list experiences registry • Ask guests to donate to a charity in lieu of gifts • Create a house down payment or renovation registry #BlackHillsBride
