By incorporating just a few features and strategies, couples can easily create a fun, unique, and successful wedding registry page that resonates with friends and family. After following our tips below, you'll be well on your way to crafting the perfect wedding registry.
Use Awesome Photos
Start by customizing your registry page with personal photos. Add as many as you'd like, whether it be together shots, solo pics, or other favorites. The images will automatically rotate at the top of your page and be a focal point for registry visitors.
Incorporate a Variety of Price Points
Be sure to include a variety of price points so you can suit the budget of every guest -- whether it be $25, $75, or $250. Get creative, have fun, and really mix up the amounts of those gift items!
Take Advantage of the Guest Message Section
The welcome message is typically the first thing guests encounter when visiting your registry page. Use this opportunity to welcome friends and family and thank them for visiting your page. This is also the perfect spot to describe any special details about your relationship, engagement, plans for the future, and the wedding itself, providing guests with some key background information.
Register for Items Your Really Need
Do you really need a punch bowl or a new set of fine china? Think about the items or experiences you would really use or enjoy. Sit down together as a couple and take inventory of all the different items. Is your suitcase on its last legs? Use your registry to make the upgrade. Have you always wanted to go whitewater rafting together? Ride the rapids by adding a local excursion to your list.
Incorporate Pre-made Registry Items
Unsure of how to fill out your registry? Consider using our Instant Registries. This feature lets you go from zero to complete gift registry in a matter of seconds. Choose from different themes like "The Perfect Kitchen" and "Outdoor Adventures" or go with complete registries featuring a little bit of everything. You can even mix and match instant registry themes with a variety of your own picks as well. You'll find Instant Registries located within the "Item List" section of your account.
Write Descriptive Captions
Finally, don't forget to add a little creativity to your registry item descriptions. It really does goes a long way. A few quick tips:
-Be descriptive about your activity/registry items and make your guests feel as though they are part of the experience
-Don't be shy about adding humor and creativity to your registry. This will help make the gift-giving experience fun for all of your guests
-Use interesting and colorful pictures to showcase your gift items. The more inviting an image appears to your guests, the more likely it will persuade them to purchase the gift for you
-Provide links (if possible) so that guests can see exactly what they are giving or what you have planned for that particular activity/experience.
