Creating a wedding registry is one of the most fun tasks about wedding planning and something that you and your future spouse can do together. With so many wants and needs, a wedding registry checklist is a great way to stay on track. Your registry can include home goods, experiences, or you can ask for a contribution for an amazing honeymoon. To help keep you on track, we’ve created a Wedding Registry Checklist and Timeline including a printable sample registry to get you started.

WEDDING REGISTRY CHECKLIST + TIMELINE
Your registry is definitely one of the more fun parts of getting married and should reflect you as a couple. Do you love to cook? Go big on kitchenware! If you are philanthropic, opt for a charitable donation fund.
- Begin browsing where you would like to register
- TIP: Consider alternative registry options like honeymoon fund, charitable donations, or monthly subscriptions
- TIP: Register earlier if you have pre-wedding celebrations
- Register for gifts in-person and online in at least 3 places
- TIP: Register for gifts in all price ranges
- Place registry information on your wedding website
- Check on registry to be sure there are still items for guests to purchase in different price ranges, add more if needed
- If doing a gift-opening the day after the wedding, select a location and time and a list of everyone invited
- Record all gifts and who gave them to you
- Send “Thank You” cards within three months
- If there are items left on your registry, see if the store offers a newlywed discount on those items!
