My husband and I got married a couple weeks ago and creating our wedding registry was such a fun part of our wedding planning process. At first, we had a hard time coming up with gifts to add since we already lived together and owned a lot of the typical registry gifts. But, after we started shopping for ideas and looking into items we wanted to upgrade, our registry took off!
We shopped in-store at Crate and Barrel, Target, Macy’s, Williams-Sonoma, and similar retailers to test out the quality and compare different options.
There are so many different dinnerware sets to choose from, wine glasses, salad plates, duvet covers, etc. The hardest part was deciding on which one to go with.
In this post, I’m sharing everything we ended up adding to our wedding registry and/or received as wedding gifts from our guests! You guys know, I am super, super picky when it comes to decor and home essentials, so you can trust that all of these items have been carefully selected and reviewed by myself!
Where to Register & Perks!
Here are a few of the retailers you can register with. We registered with Crate and Barrel and Amazon, but also added individual items from Target, Pottery Barn, Macy’s and Walmart through our wedding website, Zola.
- Crate and Barrel – 15% off registry completion discount valid for 6 months after your wedding date (can be used on multiple purchases)!
- Amazon – one-time-use 20% off completion discount, if $500 worth of items were purchased off your registry
- Macy’s – extra 20% off the remaning gifts on your registry for up to 6 months after your wedding
- Target – 15% off storewide coupon – redeemable two times for up to one year after your wedding
- Walmart – no registry completion discount
- Pottery Barn – 10% off registry completion discount, redeemable as many times as you like within 6 months of your wedding
- Williams Sonoma – (same discount as Pottery Barn) 10% off registry completion discount, redeemable as many times as you like within 6 months of your wedding
Crate and Barrel was our go-to retailer for our dinnerware, drinkware, serverware, cookware, and cutlery. We utilized the Amazon registry for lots of home gadgets, small household appliances like the Ninja Creami, a juicer, a wet dry vacuum, and closet essentials, etc. Macy’s had the best option for flatware, and Target was our favorite for bedding and decor.
Kitchen
CB2 Eve Coupe Glasses
I’ve had my eye on these coupe glasses for YEARS! They are so elegant and sophisticated. I can already envision hosting cute, aesthetic dinner parties with the girls. And you guys.. they are even better in person. I can’t wait to use them!
Crate and Barrel Aspen Coupe Dinner Plates
One of our most-wanted registry items was a new dinnerware collection. Our current plates, bowls, and glasses are from college, so it’s definitely time for an upgrade. Back in January, we attended the Crate and Barrel Registry Event for engaged couples and fell in love with the Aspen Dinnerware Collection.
We loved the classic and timeless look of these plates, as well as the durability. They’re also dishwasher-safe.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer – Color Matte Milkshake
I feel like the KitchenAid stand mixer is a must-have registry item if you don’t already own one. It’s going to make baking so much easier! We do have a stand mixer right now, but it’s definitely not up to KitchenAid’s quality haha.
We received a few new cookbooks at my bridal shower, so I’m excited to try some of the dessert recipes with the KitchenAid.
Crate and Barrel Scratch-Resistant Wine Glasses
These 18 oz red wine glasses are break-resistant, chip-resistant and scratch-resistant. As soon as we saw a demonstration in-store, we were sold. These are going to be amazing for hosting friends & family for holidays, get-togethers and dinner parties.
It’s such a stress reliever knowing we won’t have to worry about anyone breaking them.
Cuisinart Stainless Steel 12-piece Cookware Set
I have been waiting for the day that we get to toss our rusty and burnt saucepans. Okay, they’re not as bad as I’m making them sound. But, we’re definitely due for some new pots and pans..
I’ve been wanting to replace all of ours with new cookware that’s toxin-free and long-lasting. We found this 12 piece Cuisinart set that has great reviews and is dishwasher safe. I really love stainless steel because it’s safe, it doesn’t rust or tarnish, it’s easy to clean and maintain, and cooks food evenly.
Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls Set
This Amazon mixing bowls set comes with five different stainless steel mixing bowls (all different sizes), with accompanying BPA-free airtight lids.
I love these because they have non-slip silicone bases which keeps them from sliding around on the counter as you’re mixing!
24 PC Glass Spice Jars with Bamboo Lids
Gorgeous, modern & minimalistic spice jars to elevate your kitchen! You get A LOT for your money in this set: 24 jars with bamboo lids, 3 different types of labels (for a total of 492 pre-printed labels), and a silicone funnel for refilling your jars.
GE Stainless Steel Toaster
The perfect gift for the couple looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances. I know we FINALLY tossed our old $9 toaster that was purchased back in college. This new GE stainless steel toaster has been great! It’s aesthetically pleasing on the counter, has extra wide slots to accommodate for all different types of breads, and seven different shade settings.
Lenox Cantera 65 piece Silverware Set
My husband and I searched all over for the best silverware set and this Lenox 65 piece set (service for 12) was by far our favorite. Although still on the expensive side, this set was more affordable than most Crate and Barrel flatware sets we liked. Plus, Macy’s is always running sales!
If the happy couple is moving into a new house or apartment soon, they will love having an updated set of silverware. It’s such a thoughtful gift.
Ninja Creami 11-in-1 Ice Cream Maker
I’m sure you’ve seen the Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream Maker all over Tik Tok recently. It can turn almost anything into ice cream and it’s so easy to use! If you’re a frozen treats lover, like myself, this might be one of the best wedding gifts you receive.
Pasta Bowls Set of 6
I have seen so many people talk about these pasta bowls or blates (bowl plates) on Instagram. Trust me, they’re worth the hype! We got these as a wedding shower gift and love them. We’re huge pasta lovers, and there’s just something about these bowls that elevate your dinner experience! They’re classy, stackable and dishwasher safe!
Glass Food Storage Containers
These glass food storage containers with bamboo lids are a practical gift the couple will use over and over again for meal prepping and leftovers! They’re eco-friendly, airtight, dishwasher safe and come in a set of four.
Silicone Popcorn Popper
Okay, this silicone microwave popcorn popper might be our most-used wedding present. It’s so easy to use and the popcorn tastes AMAZING! You use the lid to measure your kernels and melt butter over the top of your popcorn! I make a bowl almost every day as an afternoon snack!
If the couple loves popcorn, they’ll definitely get good use out of this in their everyday life!
Acrylic Ribbed highball Glasses
These 16 oz acrylic glasses are absolutely gorgeous! We use these as our everyday drinking glasses and I love how aesthetic, yet high-quality they are. They’re thick and sturdy and wash really well.
There is a glass version as well, but with acrylic, you won’t have to worry about anyone breaking them! Great choice all around!
Three Tier Serving Stand
Serverware, trays, and platters are a classic wedding gift that you’ll be able to use over and over again when hosting friends and family. We love this gold collapsible three tier serving stand! Display a variety of desserts, fruits, light appetizers or mini sandwiches for your guests to snack on!
Magnet Food Clips
You can never have too many chip clips! Keep your food bags sealed and in order with this 20-pack of clips from Amazon. They even have a magnet on them so you can put them on your fridge and hang a note, photo, or wedding invitation! We chose the white, but they come in tons of different colors as well!
KitchenAid Ribbed Silicone Oven Mitts
If you’re on the hunt for practical and useful wedding gifts the couple will use in their daily lives, these silicone oven mitts are perfect. They’re large (way bigger than our last set of oven mitts), easy to clean, and aesthetically pleasing. You know we’re all about functional, yet aesthetic products over here!
We also got the matching silicone pot holder set!
Bed & Bath Wedding Gifts
Bedvoyage 8-piece Bamboo Towel Set
If you’re a loyal blog or Instagram follower, you’ve probably heard me talk about Bedvoyage and their luxurious bamboo sheets! Well, their bath towels are just as fabulous and the perfect addition to your wedding registry.
Their towels are fluffy, ultra-soft, and highly absorbent – 3x more absorbent than your traditional cotton towels I should add! They’re anti-bacterial (so you won’t have to wash them as often), odor and mildew resistant, and great for sensitive skin. I can guarantee, these will quickly become your favorite towels!
Beckham Hotel Collection Down Alternative Pillows
Hands down, the BEST pillows I’ve ever slept on. I swear I fall asleep almost immediately as soon as my head touches the pillow. They’re cooling, fluffy, and have over 240,000 reviews on Amazon. They also have a really cool bounce-back design, so they always keep their shape!
We bought our first set about two years ago during Prime Day and we added another set to our registry because we can’t get enough.
Casaluna All Season Premium Down Alternative Comforter
If you’re looking to upgrade your bedding and want to achieve that fluffy, full, hotel-inspired look, grab this Casaluna Premium Down Alternative Duvet Insert! It is INCREDIBLE. We’ve had ours for over a month now and it’s the best.
Soft, cozy, cooling, fluffy, and the perfect amount of heaviness. We seriously never want to get out of bed because of how much we love it.
Non-Slip Velvet Hangers in Ivory
We received the 60-pack of these non-slip velvet hangers, and I wish I had added more to our registry. They’ve transformed our closet and saved us so much space. I was skeptical about how much space switching to velvet hangers would actually save us, but I was amazed.
We have almost doubled our closet space and they make your space more cohesive and aesthetic.
Casaluna Chunky Knit Blanket
A close friend bought us this Casaluna chunky knit blanket and we love it! It’s so soft and cozy, but lightweight, so we can use it all year long. Comes in multiple beautiful color options!
Home Decor
Studio McGee 93″ Artificial Olive Tree
This olive tree from the Studio McGee collection at Target has been on my wishlist for a while now! It’s the perfect height, just under 8 feet, and absolutely gorgeous. It will easily elevate your home or apartment. We just set it up in our living room and I love it.
Home Essentials
Tineco Wet Dry Cordless Vacuum & Mop
We have multiple friends who own this Tineco cordless wet dry vacuum and have said nothing but amazing things, so we added it to our registry as well. You can read the Amazon reviews for yourself! It’s an item that everyone wishes they purchased sooner.
Standing Fabric Steamer
As a content creator and blogger, I steam clothes almost every single day. Previously I’ve used your standard handheld steamer, which has been fine. But, you have to refill those so many times, especially if you steam often like I do.
This Amazon standing fabric steamer has a half-gallon water tank which allows for one hour of steaming! Plus steaming is so much easier and more convenient than ironing.
Shark Wandvac Handheld Vacuum
The Shark Wandvac was one of my top picks for our wedding registry! It’s the perfect lightweight, yet powerful handheld vacuum for cleaning your car, vacuuming up crumbs in the kitchen, removing pet hair, tidying your furniture, and tackling everyday messes around your home.
Levoit Air Purifier
Did you know that indoor air can actually be more polluted than outdoor air? Crazy right!? My husband and I both suffer from seasonal allergies and we own a golden retriever, which means lots of pet hair. The Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier helps remove allergens, pet hair, dust, smoke, and other pollutants, which helps promote better indoor air quality.
It’s so easy to set up and use, plus we love that it’s quiet and doesn’t make a lot of noise!
Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaner
If the couple has any pets in their home, this portable carpet and upholstery cleaner is exactly what they need! This little machine works like magic and removes stubborn stains from your furniture, area rugs, inside your car, etc.
Other Wedding Gift Ideas for Couple
Gift Card to Stores
Sometimes the best gifts are either gift cards or money. This way the couple, can purchase exactly what they want or save the gift card for later! Most popular gift cards include: Amazon, Target, Crate and Barrel, Airbnb (for those who like to travel), and Home Depot (if they’re moving into a new home soon).
Queen Air Mattress with Built-In Pump
This queen air mattress has a built-in pump and can hold up to 650 pounds! It’s an extremely useful gift that the couple can use over and over again when camping, hosting guests, having sleepovers, etc.
Igloo Marine Ultra Cooler
The perfect gift for the newly married couple who’s into camping, beach days, and hosting gatherings! This Igloo Ultra Cooler is LARGE, so you can fit a lot of ice and drinks in here. It’s 90 quarts, has all-terrain wheels, and is a great price!
Board Games
Board games are such a great gift idea! If the young couple is moving in together for the first time, they probably don’t own many games. Here are a few of our favorites that they might like! Catan is a classic that everyone will love!
Fabric Shaver / Sweater Defuzzer
If you’re looking for a cheap wedding gift or bridal shower present, this Amazon fabric shaver is under $10 and is LIFE CHANGING! It completely revives your leggings, sweaters, and other clothes that have gotten pilly over time.
I recently used this on my old lululemon leggings and they look brand new again!
Smart Security Camera
Over 30,000 reviews on Amazon for this pan/tilt smart security camera! The perfect little gadget to set up in your home, so that you can check on your pets when you’re away.
It has two-way audio so you’re able to communicate with your pets or family members and you can even change the angle of the camera from your phone too! This is a unique wedding gift idea the couple will be so grateful for!
