The question we get most often is, “How much should I spend on a wedding gift?” \n\nThe answer varies depending on a few factors, such as how well you know the couple and how many different wedding events you’re invited to. Some of you may even be wondering if you need to purchase a wedding gift at all. Read on for our complete guide on wedding gift etiquette.\n\n## How much should you spend on a wedding gift? \n\nThese days, where cost-per-plate (explained below) does not factor into your choice of a wedding gift, exactly how much you should spend on a [wedding gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-expensive-is-too-expensive-for-my-registry) depends on various factors. \n\nHere are some general guidelines to follow:\n\n- The average wedding gift amount ranges from $100 to $200, depending on how close you are to the couple. But more importantly, choosing a wedding gift isn’t about the price tag—it’s about giving the couple a special acknowledgment, from you to them, of this happy moment that they will use throughout their new life together.\n- Try to [find a gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-wedding-guests-need-to-know-about-gift-giving-right-now) that has both special significance to you and fits within what you can comfortably spend.\n- Most couples register for gifts at a range of prices, so while big-ticket items might be exciting, couples also want smaller gifts that hold just as much meaning, purpose, or joy in their daily lives.\n\nIf you’re still itching for dollar amount suggestions, follow these very loose guidelines for how much to spend on wedding gifts:\n\n- If you’re a coworker, acquaintance, or distant relative: $75-$100\n- If you’re a friend or relative: $100-$150\n- If you’re a close friend, immediate family, or part of the wedding party: $150-$200+\n- If you received a +1 on your invitation: 1.5-2x more on the gift\n\n## What’s the “cover your plate” rule? \n\nOnce upon a time, it was considered good etiquette to purchase a wedding gift with a price tag comparable to the cost per plate (i.e., your meal) at the reception. Although it’s outdated, this sneaky piece of advice still gets passed around by wedding attendees like wedding gospel.\n\nHere’s why you should leave it behind:\n\n- Following this guideline means having to ask around (or ask the couple directly) how much they’re spending per plate at their wedding, which is a pretty uncomfortable question to circulate.\n- It implies that you, as a guest, must spend a certain amount on a wedding gift regardless of your budget (which isn’t true).\n- Attending someone’s wedding isn’t a food-for-gift exchange. It’s about celebration and coming together.\n- This practice indicates to the couple that you’re only interested how much to spend on a wedding gift while giving them a gift that matches their wedding catering budget.\n\n![Wedding Card and Gift Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5glq0I26rQAjxyOfjH5813/8ce9ccd8d67313f238bd760ad3251819/Wedding_Card_and_Gift_Table.jpg) Photo by [Cameron & Madalyn](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/cameron-madalyn)\n\n## 10 popular questions wedding guests ask about gifts \n\n### 1. Is it OK to give a cash wedding gift?\n\nCash gifts are not only totally acceptable, they’re becoming increasingly requested by modern couples who are getting married later in life and have already outfitted their homes. If the couple is using Zola, they may have even registered for [cash funds](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds) to help them save for the honeymoon, a new home, a puppy, or even a lifetime supply of avocados (yes, it happened). \n\nHowever, there are a few best practices you should follow when contributing to a cash fund and wondering how much money to give as cash wedding gifts:\n\n- Make sure you contribute an appropriate wedding gift amount through the [couple’s registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) if their list provides that option.\n- If you write a check, mail it before the wedding day. Giving cash or checks on the big day isn’t necessarily wrong, but it does risk being lost in the chaos of the day.\n- If writing a check as a wedding gift, make sure to write it out to one person and use pre-married names. Couples don’t always share joint accounts or change their names after the nuptials, which can lead to the bank refusing to accept the funds.\n\n### 2. Should I contribute to a honeymoon fund as a gift?\n\nThose from former generations may consider a [honeymoon fund](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds) an oddity, but if the couple has one, by any means, utilize it. If you’re wondering, “What is a good wedding gift?” adding a massage, helping pay for a hotel, or contributing to the overall honeymoon fund can be a lifesaver.\n\n### 3. Is it OK to give a group wedding gift?\n\nYes! If you want to give the couple a big ticket item you can’t afford on your own, it’s a great idea to go in on a [group gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-you-need-to-know-about-group-gifting) with other guests. Zola’s group gifting feature can make this process extremely easy. \n\nTwo pieces of advice here:\n\n- Make sure that everyone contributes the same wedding gift amount they would have spent on smaller gifts purchased on their own. When wondering how much to spend on wedding gifts, don’t skimp as a group.\n- If you are attending a wedding as a large family, it’s a good rule of thumb that all adults (or each household) give their own gift.\n\n![Outdoor Wedding Gift Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/2iXLj665Jm4EC0B7CWzKll/1657930ea25025e4f6f905e8b8f7ea15/Outdoor_Wedding_Gift_Table.jpg) Photo by [Carson Lillard Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/carson-lillard-photography)","body2":"### 4. Can I buy wedding gifts that aren’t on the wedding registry?\n\nAs wedding gift etiquette, it’s always best to purchase a gift on the couple’s wedding registry. That way, you can ensure they like (and need) the item. \n\nIf all of their registry items have been purchased by the time you get around to buying a gift, you have a few options:\n\n1. Ask the couple if there’s anything else their hearts desire.\n2. Contribute to a cash fund (or give them cash or a check directly).\n3. Opt for an off-registry gift you’re 100% confident they’ll love. If you go with this option, make sure to get a gift receipt so that the couple can easily return duplicate or damaged items without hassle.\n\n### 5. Do I need to buy a gift if I can’t attend the wedding?\n\nIn short, yes. But there is some flexibility here depending on how well you know the couple and your personal financial situation. If you’re close friends, it’s best to send a gift and a personalized note with warm wishes. Your mom’s boss’s daughter that you’ve never met? While it’s always polite to send a gift if you can, in impersonal circumstances, you’re less on the hook.\n\n### 6. Should I buy a gift for a destination wedding?\n\nYes again. However, the travel and lodging costs that come with a destination wedding can put a big strain on your budget. It’s likely that the happy couple views your presence as a gift in itself, but if you want to get technical about it, purchasing a wedding gift is proper, even in the case of a [destination wedding](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/destination-wedding-checklist). \n\nIf you’re shelling out quite a bit to attend the wedding, then feel free to spend less than you typically would for a local celebration. With a [destination wedding](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/cut-destination-wedding-costs), there is a little leeway with how much cash to give for a wedding present.\n\n### 7. What is gifting wedding etiquette for a plus-one?\n\nFirst of all, be sure that [your plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/should-my-plus-one-sign-the-wedding-card) is cleared with the couple, either via the address on the invitation or by chatting with the couple beforehand. A surprise guest can really be a burden if they aren’t accounted for in the catering, seating arrangement, and other plans. That being said, when giving a gift, it’s best to double the amount you’d normally spend on the gift, therefore accounting for a present from both you and your guest.\n\n![Indoor Wedding Gift Card Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/6HW7vQWB23do9IdthbhVJa/039578bb7d7d460a05bb433657cfd51f/Indoor_Wedding_Gift_Card_Table.jpg) Photo by [Kristen Hope Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/kristen-hope-photography)\n\n### 8. Do I need to buy a gift for every wedding event that I’m invited to?\n\nYes. However, we know it can cause anxiety over how much to spend on a wedding gift. Buying this many gifts can be tough. If you are invited to the [engagement party](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/who-hosts-an-engagement-party), shower, and wedding, we suggest planning ahead and setting a [budget for gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/do-i-have-to-buy-a-wedding-shower-gift-and-a-wedding-gift) in advance. To make things easier on your wallet, follow the 20-20-60 rule, which dictates that you spread out your spending like so:\n\n- 20% on the engagement gift\n- 20% on the bridal shower\n- 60% on the wedding\n\nBreaking down the expenses and knowing how much to give as a wedding gift percentage-wise can be a big help. \n\n### 9. Should I ship my wedding gift or bring it with me?\n\nFollow these rules to determine if you should physically bring a gift with you to any wedding-related festivities:\n\n- If you attend a shower, engagement party, or purchase a gift that isn’t on the registry, take the wrapped gift along with you to the event.\n- If you bought a gift on a registry or are giving cash/check, gifts should be mailed to the couple before the big day.\n\n__Zola perk:__ Couples with a [Zola registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) have the option to ship your gift whenever is convenient for them. Whether that’s before the wedding, after they return from the honeymoon, or months later. Spreading out the gifts can alleviate some of the cost of how much to spend on a wedding gift.\n\n### 10. How late can I give a wedding gift?\n\nSpeaking of the timeline, some say you have up to a year to purchase a wedding gift. However, the best practice is always to buy and send gifts before the wedding day or within 3 months of the nuptials. Any longer, and you’re likely to forget. \n\nPlus, it’s more convenient for the couple to manage receiving gifts (and writing thank you notes) sooner rather than later. When wondering how much do you give for a wedding gift, waiting until after the big day can help. \n\n![Card Table at Wedding](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/4QEWoeiNaWA9Yp1ATKoewy/481be8bf09176e4d5b0466f36dffa01f/Card_Table_at_Wedding.jpg) Photo by [Lexi Wyatt Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/lexi-wyatt-photography)\n\n## Wedding gift amount FAQs \n### What can I do in place of a gift on the big day?\n\nIf finances are truly a hardship, don’t skip the special day due to gift-giving. The couple invited you and wants you to be a part and not stress over how much money to give at a wedding. That being said, if you can’t budget for a gift, it’s time to get creative! \n\nIf you know the couple well, think about any services you could offer to help them out. Here are a few examples (hint: these also make fun [last-minute wedding gift ideas](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/21-last-minute-wedding-gifts)):\n\n- __Have a beautiful garden?__ Gift the couple a monthly arrangement of fresh-cut flowers from your own garden during the peak season.\n- __Are you handy?__ Offer to help the couple get their new home ready. Hang photos, help paint rooms, install sound systems, and change light fixtures. Whatever is within your skill set works and will help them save instead of hiring someone.\n- __Love animals?__ If the couple has pets, offer pet-sitting services during their honeymoon or annual family vacation. Go the extra mile and spend extra time with their feathered, fur, or fish babies while they’re out of town.\n\n### Is it ever appropriate to ask the couple how much to spend on a wedding gift?\n\nUnless you’re especially close to the couple—say, a sibling or BFF—avoid this question and take cues in other ways. Look at their registry and see what they have listed. Also, follow the general rules given above. The couple has so many things to plan for their big day, and they shouldn’t be asked what amount to spend on them. \n\n### So, how much should I spend on a wedding gift?\nUltimately, how much to give for a wedding gift is up to you—and how well you know the couple. Typically something in the $100-$200 range is appropriate (per person). If that's a hardship, consider whether the couple would rather have you there to celebrate and the amount of money isn't a factor. \n\nWhether you’re invited to everything from the engagement party and bach parties to simply attending the wedding, knowing how much to spend on a wedding gift can prove daunting. \n\nRest assured that the couple wants you there to celebrate. Although you should give them a gift, it’s not their focus, so give graciously and with joy.

They already have pots and pans, and they don’t need another toaster or knife set. That’s why if you’re looking to splurge and gift the almost-weds something a little pricier, you’ll want to opt for either elevated essentials or experiences. Upgrades to their current items or the opportunity to pamper themselves — or their pets! — is one of the most personal and meaningful ways to make a lasting impression with your wedding shower gift.\n\n### Go Treat Yourselves\n\n![Airbnb Gift Card | Cash Fund: Year's Supply of Pet Treats](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5SjPqVATZGeayeXs70z7p7/3b5047d24238007b567a4b0ff3389eec/Small_Collage_8.jpg)\n\n#### 16.

Traditionally, showers were just for the bride — and therefore called a “[bridal shower](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/a-guide-to-bridal-showers)” — but modern times mean more than just the bride gets to celebrate. From wedding showers that celebrate just the groom (sometimes called “[groom showers](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-plan-a-queer-wedding-shower)”) to wedding showers that [celebrate both halves of the couple](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/coed-wedding-shower), there are plenty of ways to celebrate those pre-wedding days.\n\nIn addition to enjoying light bites, drinks, games, and laughs, one of the main focal points of any wedding shower is watching the guest(s) of honor open gifts. Traditionally, guests bring presents to the shower that’ll help the couple kickstart their married life — think kitchen goods, home decor, and even barware. Sometimes these gifts are to be used in preparation of the wedding (such as [crafting tools](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/timberpress_plant_craft)), at the wedding (like a [personalized robe](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/eventblossom_personalized_ruffle_robe1_jade) for getting ready or festive [floral collars](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/hushedcommotion_floral_stud_collar) for the [couple’s pets](https://www.zola.com/shop/category/pet)), or to ease some of the planning stress (such as a [handheld massager](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/cando__massage_gun) or [personalized wine glasses](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/homewetbar_block_monogram_personalized_wine_glass)).\n\n### What Type of Gift Should You Bring to a Wedding Shower?\n\nMany couples create a wedding shower registry which makes shopping for the perfect shower gift simple. And while it’s always a good idea to shop a couple’s [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) when gifting — they know what they like best, after all — sometimes that isn’t always an option. Whether everything has already been purchased, the items left are out of your price range, or none of the gifts feel personal to your relationship, you might be looking for more shower gift ideas. \n\nKnowing some of the top 2022 wedding show registry trends can help you shop smart, especially if you're at a loss about what to get. Years ago couples would register for [fine china](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/lorenzoimport_lorren_home_trends_24pc_wavy_fine_china_dot_dinnerware_set_servicefor4_gold) during their engagement season, and while the trend has shifted slightly, tablescape items such as [textured dinnerware](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/denby_natural_canvas_chevron_textured_coupe_plate), colored flatware, and versatile drinkware — like this Gemma cocktail set — are still some of the most common registry items.\n\nAdditionally, modern kitchen essentials such as espresso machines, ramen bowls, air fryers, and pizza platters continue to rank high on couples’ registries, as do outdoor must-haves like lounge furniture, grills, and fire pits. But even more, we’re seeing outside-the-box registry additions that are fun to use *and* give, like travel elevators, ice cream makers, sushi serving sets, and even gifts for the fur babies. \n\nTo help you narrow down the options — and avoid having to compare a zillion open tabs with gift ideas — we've rounded up 20 of the top shower gifts for 2022 that’ll get any couple in the celebratory spirit. \n\n### Do You Need to Bring a Gift to a Wedding Shower?\nTraditionally, a wedding shower would take place in the morning/afternoon and would only host female guests and family members. With modern showers being more about inclusivity, showers can take place in the morning or evening and can be virtually any theme from tea party to TV-inspired. But one tradition that’s still going strong — and won’t be fizzling out any time soon — is showering the couple with gifts.\n\nIf you’re wondering how much to spend on a wedding shower gift, you’ll want to first consider your overall budget for gifts since it’s customary to bring a present for the engagement party, wedding shower, and wedding itself. We suggest using the 60-20-20 rule, with 60 percent of your total gift budget going to the wedding gift and the other 40 percent being divided between the shower and the engagement party. \n\nIt’s also important to note that while it’s your presence that truly matters, showing up to a wedding shower without a gift is a major faux pas. In fact, if you’re [invited to a shower](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/invite-to-wedding-shower) and can’t attend, it’s still a good idea to send a gift to show the couple your support and blessing. If you can’t swing for a present, even sending a card with well-wishes will show the couple you’re excited or their next chapter. \n\n![Zola Wedding Shower Gifts for 2022](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/cZjLLxWZ7G9PwdZ7FNzA8/7b3814de53413ba7e3705b203168cb95/Big_Collage_9.png)\n\n*Download and share for a full list of the top gifts couples want on their [wedding shower registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry).*","tag":"List","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Registry"}},"nextUp":[{"excerpt":"Ready to start your wedding registry?

While traditions are ever-evolving and vary across cultures, the act of gift-giving is universal.

You can’t go wrong with cash in most cultures, but if the idea of handing over money seems impersonal, you can opt for a [wedding gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift) rich in tradition. \n\nIn Sudan, for example, it’s customary that only married women wear perfume as this signals to men that they’re taken. To prepare the bride for marriage, close female relatives host a perfume mixing ceremony before a Sudanese wedding. Here, the family spends hours making a traditional perfume for the bride to wear. \n\nThe old French tradition of a bridal trousseau dates back centuries when a bride brought along an ornate armoire full of family heirlooms and expensive gifts such as linens and lingerie. While this particular custom is no longer commonplace, the act of giving vintage linens is still considered a classic cash alternative. You can gift brand new linens or ornate vintage sheets that are already soft from years of use. ","body2":"Peruvian weddings often feature a symbolic offering to Mother Earth, known as a Despacho. To help prepare the couple for this offering, wedding guests place items such as food, flowers, and cacao leaves on a sheet or cloth. The cloth is then wrapped in weavings and blessed as an offering to Mother Earth. Once gifted to the couple, they decide how to return it to mother earth as a sacred offering. The two most popular ways are to either bury or burn the Despacho. \n\nCheck out our visual below to discover more wedding gift traditions from around the world, and be sure to check out Zola’s [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) and [wedding shop](https://www.zola.com/shop/category/wedding-shop) for gift ideas for the happy couple. \n\n \n

But should you bring an engagement gift? Read on to learn more.\n\nGenerally, people [plan an engagement party](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-plan-an-engagement-party) right after the couple decides to take the next step towards the becoming newlyweds. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the proposal (and the engagement ring!)—and bring friends, family, and loved ones in person to share in the happiness and let loose. But if you’re lucky enough to score an invite to celebrate the couple, you may wonder: Am I supposed to bring a gift?\n\nLet’s take a dive into everything you need to know about whether you need to bring engagement party gifts to celebrations (including engagement party gift ideas if you decide you want to bring a great gift to celebrate the couple’s upcoming nuptials):\n\n## Should You Bring a Gift to An Engagement Party?\nIf you want to! Bringing a gift to an [engagement party](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/what-is-an-engagement-party) is definitely not a requirement, but it’s certainly an extremely nice gesture to extend. Often, the decision about whether to offer a gift will depend on closeness—with relatives and close friends of the couple (for example, members of the wedding party) often bringing a gift to the engagement party.\n\nIf you’re still uncertain about whether or not to bring a gift, consider the formality of the event (is the party on the more casual side or are more formal plans involved?), your plans for attending the wedding (if you can’t attend the special day, an engagement party gift may be the perfect time to wish them a congratulations), and your budget (this one’s self explanatory). \n\nUnfortunately, at an engagement party, chances are the couple hasn’t gotten around to creating their wedding registry just yet. So what’s an appropriate gift for an engagement party? More often than not, invited guests bring a small gift (like a scented candle) or a more meaningful gift or keepsake (like a personalized gift).\n\n## Is There A Spending Limit?\nIf you decide to move forward with engagement gifts for friends, family members, or loved ones, the next question you need to ask is “how much do I spend?”\n\nAnd the answer? It depends—largely on your finances.\n\nIf you’re pinching pennies to pay your rent, you absolutely should not be shelling out hundreds of dollars on luxury engagement gifts. Instead, you should be researching where to buy engagement gifts that work with your budget. (And try to buy your engagement gift in advance; since you don’t have the time to shop around for the best deal, in general, last minute engagement gifts tend to cost more.) On the flip side, if budget isn’t a concern for you, you can spend whatever you feel comfortable with.\n\nWhen determining how much you want to spend on an engagement gift, just remember that you’ll also have a wedding gift to purchase in the not-so-distant future—and generally, gift etiquette dictates that the wedding gift should be a higher value than the engagement present.\n\n## Don't Bring A Gift If They Ask You Not To\nMany people throw an engagement party just to celebrate the couple’s engagement. The groom and/or bride-to-be may not want home decor, an Etsy gift card, ring dish, cutting board, or a set of wine glasses.\n\nWhich is why many couples will specify (for example, on their engagement party invitations or wedding website) not to bring a gift.\n\nAnd if they do? It’s important to respect their wishes.\n\nYou may think you have an idea for a unique engagement gift. But if a couple says they don’t want you to bring a gift to the engagement party? Believe them—and opt out of a gift. (Don’t worry; once the engagement party is over, the countdown to the wedding day can officially begin—and you’ll have the opportunity to deliver the perfect gift then.)\n\n## What Should I Bring to An Engagement Party?\nYou shouldn't feel pressured to spend an exorbitant amount of money or that you need to spend hours putting this together. If you are attending the engagement party, you more than likely will be attending the wedding, so you'll want to plan ahead for the other expenses that come with that—such as the shower and wedding gift. Generally, it’s a good idea to spend what you can afford and also to get something that you think the couple will love and even potentially use.\n\n### Gift Something Personal\nPersonalizing the engagement gift and picking out something that captures the moment is always a great idea. For a gift that’s sure to go over well, consider a bottle of the couple's favorite Champagne, a plant or flowers, a gift certificate to their favorite local restaurant, or even one to their favorite local coffee spot. Or, if you know the bride and/or groom are stressed about wedding planning, consider giving them a gift to help them get organized—like a wedding planner with checklists of the tasks that need to be completed before the wedding date. \n\n![inline adambradshawphotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/2nmFkjvBmhODkKMWfogKZ4/17f4bd465cc059854f1f98be77493576/inline_adambradshawphotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Adam Bradshaw Photography\n\n### 10 Gift Ideas to Bring to An Engagement Party\n\nWant to bring a gift to the engagement party—but now sure what to bring? Here’s a list of just a few of the [best engagement gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/engagement-gift-ideas) to help get your creative wheels turning:\n\n#### 1. Champagne flutes with their favorite bottle of bubbly—or wine glasses with their favorite bottle of wine\n#### 2. A beautiful picture frame or frames, complete with a picture of the happy couple\n#### 3. A photo album\n#### 4. Monogrammed or engraved stemware or mugs\n#### 5. Personalized coffee or tea mugs\n#### 6. Coasters that match the party's theme or color scheme\n#### 7. Flower vase with flowers/or just a vase\n#### 8. A plant or flowers\n#### 9. A book or journal inspired by the couple (a book of love poems, a wedding journal where they can share all their happy moments, or even a book that can be used for the guest book at the wedding)\n#### 10. An experience gift for a cooking class or spa treatment\n\nBottom line? No matter what you opt for, if you choose to bring an engagement party gift, it will be well-received and appreciated. But, if you decide not to bring a gift, that's okay, too. On one hand, it's fun to get and give a thoughtful gift for the newly engaged couple; on the other hand, you’ll likely also have to buy a bridal shower gift and wedding gift, which may be enough. Weight the pros and cons and make the decision that feels right for you.\n\nAnd just remember: ultimately, as long as you show up to celebrate with the couple? That’s the best present you can give.","tag":"Advice","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Masterbrand"}},"nextUp":[{"excerpt":"Throwing an engagement party and wondering who to invite?

Are gifts even expected from their guests? If you’re looking for the perfect wedding gift for a second marriage, our team of experts can help.\n\nPicking a gift for a pair who are getting married can be stressful, and if it’s their take-two, it may mean that they already have all the household essentials you can think of. They may be living together before the wedding ceremony, and they are already set domestically. But, if you care for two people who love each other and would like to make a lifelong commitment, there are ways to show them your support and celebrate their new life together.\n\nWhen choosing the perfect gift, it’s best to evaluate the couple’s personalities, their hobbies as individuals, and what they like to do as a couple. Ask if they have a wedding registry—they most likely would have one. While they won’t have the traditional [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) items, such as kitchen appliances, glassware, and silverware, their list will give you an idea of what they need and would like to receive.\n\nAnd, if they don’t have a registry, we have listed 20 wedding gifts that couples tying the knot (again) will want.\n\n## Experiential Gifts\n\n![20 Lovely Wedding Gifts for a Second Marriage](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/4U1Z8VQhMHHvuY1SLnEMub/4024e8e58199e87c0456893a7f94d79b/Inline_unsplash__2_.png)\n*Photo Credit* // Unsplash\n\nTime is a hot commodity, so gifts that allow them to spend some time together learning a new skill or enjoying a quick getaway are a real treat. Experiential gifts would let them have some alone time together (or as a family with their kids), and explore activities that they may not have done yet. When booking and purchasing these for the newlyweds, make sure that they can choose their schedule, or at least rebook them, so it doesn’t go to waste.\n\n1. Cooking class (an excellent idea for a date night)\n2. Dance class\n3. Sports-related activities (mini-golf, tennis lessons, or tickets to watch their favorite team)\n4. Spa services\n5. A Broadway show, ballet, or concert\n6. An overnight stay at a hotel, resort, or bed and breakfast\n7. Tickets to local tourist spots that they haven’t been to (think One World Trade or Top of the Rock in New York, or the Architectural Boat Tour in Chicago). The hop-on-hop-off tour buses in major cities are also good so that they can be tourists in their city for a day.\n\n## Gift Cards or Vouchers\nThese are as good as cash, so they are convenient gifts, yet a lot more thoughtful. Think of the items that the couple can use, whether for their daily lives or hobbies. Is the groom a handyman? Is the bride crafty? Do they love cooking, or are they coffee aficionados? Are they moving to a new place or relocating to another state? Do they like to eat out or watch movies? These are things you may know, especially if you are close to them. If they have kids, a family-friendly trip to an amusement park or a restaurant can be a lovely wedding present. With almost all popular brands and retail shops offering gift cards, you will not run out of options to give the soon-to-be-married pair. \n\n8. Hardware stores\n9. Furniture shops\n10. Grocery stores\n11. Restaurants, bakeries, or buffets\n12. Cinema vouchers, magazine or streaming subscription\n13. Amusement parks or ski resorts\n\n## Couple Gifts\n\n![20 Lovely Wedding Gifts for a Second Marriage](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/4e6EYz2BgyRp3DnKnkgqjy/837dbdf33948063fd0c87e1433fa5fb4/Inline_unsplash__3_.png)\n*Photo Credit* // Unsplash\n\nThese are the things that they can share as husband and wife. Think of non-household items for a wedding present that can usually be found in the bedroom and used as a couple. Almost everything can be customized and personalized nowadays, and these tailor-made items make for a meaningful wedding gift. \n\n14. Personalized pillows or throw blankets\n15. Monogrammed matching towels or robes\n16. Custom passport holders and luggage tags\n17. Bedsheets (make sure that you know the correct size of their bed)\n18. Travel luggage\n19. A nice picnic set or camping gear, if they’re the outdoorsy type\n20. A cool his-and-hers gadget or appliance\n\nYou can also find out what the couple’s favorite charity is or what advocacy they are passionate about, and make a donation in their name as their wedding gift. Whatever you decide to give, make sure that it does not in any way have a reference to the previous marriage of either person. It may be their second or third marriage to the world, but to them, it’s their first to each other. Your gift represents your love and support for the commitment that the happy couple is making to one another.\n\nYou can never go wrong with generosity, and giving the newlyweds a gift, whether you were able to attend the wedding or not, shows them that you’re thinking of them during their special day.\n","tag":"List","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Registry"}},"nextUp":[{"excerpt":" If you've waited too long to select a gift for the couple, we've got you covered!

Someone you love is getting married and they want you there to celebrate. If you’re particularly close with the couple, you may get a few more invitations along the way to various pre-wedding events, including the wedding shower. You’re probably prepared to buy a wedding gift off the couple’s registry, but what about a [wedding shower gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/a-guide-to-bridal-showers)? You might be wondering if you even need to buy both. Gift etiquette isn’t always straightforward. Let’s break it down.\n\n## Do I need to buy a gift for the shower and the wedding?\n__In short: Yes.__ We definitely recommend purchasing a gift for both the wedding and the wedding shower. That’s the simplest way to layout the basic gift etiquette. However, there are a few stipulations such as price, size, and more that come with that advice.\n\n![INLINE PhotobyStarNoirPhotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/1AJjZuw8TOa2IAOwj2OlgJ/ee2177f21d8f17f9cdaeb2905ebe973d/INLINE_PhotobyStarNoirPhotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Star Noir Photography\n\n### Wedding Shower Gifts vs. Wedding Gifts \nNot all gifts are created equal—or at least they don’t have to present as if they are. Yes, you should purchase both a wedding gift and a wedding shower gift, but they don’t have to be of equal value. In fact, you can (and should) feel free to spend less on a shower gift than you do on a wedding present.\n\nTraditional wedding etiquette says that your wedding gift should [cover the cost of your meal and drinks](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift) at the wedding—which can fall somewhere between $50 and $200. It’s a big range, but all weddings are different so you’ll know best where your gift should fit into that. Typically, you’ll select something from the couple’s registry anyway, which makes the whole wedding gift situation pretty straightforward.\n\nAs far as a wedding shower gift goes, the same rules do not apply. Giving a gift in the $25-$75 price range is completely acceptable. If it’s your best friend since childhood’s shower and you want to spoil her/him, by all means, go for it. Just know that you don’t have to.\n\n### Should I buy the wedding shower gifts and wedding gifts off the registry?\nSimply put: You should buy your wedding gift off the [couple’s wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry). These are the gifts they specifically chose because they want or need them. So, definitely choose from there for the wedding gift. \n\nAdditionally, you can buy the wedding shower gift from that same registry. And why wouldn’t you? Here’s a [selection of gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/essentials-to-put-on-your-registry) that you know the couple will be happy to receive. If you can find something in your budget, it’s a win-win. \n\nIf you’re particularly close with the host or couple (or you can’t find anything on the registry within your budget), it’s OK to stray from the registry. Your wedding shower gift can be a great opportunity to give something a little more sentimental and personal. Is the bride a bit of a product junkie? Get her a monogrammed makeup bag to hold her wedding day makeup. Does the couple love to try new wines? Try a wine subscription box. Is a dog or cat the center of their lives? Gift a custom pet portrait. \n\nThe point is if you decide to shop for your own wedding shower gift, make sure it’s something he or she will love.\n\n![INLINE PhotobyProcopioPhotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/76I3hdQXt8pAeZwyi9vlnS/4feffa18c209d68376cb8b6bab6bb73c/INLINE_PhotobyProcopioPhotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Procopio Photography\n\n### Should I show up with my gifts or send them directly? \nThe etiquette fun continues! When it comes to delivery, wedding shower gifts and wedding gifts also have a different set of rules.\n\n- __For wedding gifts__, it probably makes more sense to send your gift directly to the couple via their registry. There are a few reasons for this. First, the couple has a lot going on. Tracking and transporting their gifts isn’t a task you necessarily want to contribute to. Also, couples with Zola wedding registries can actually choose when their wedding gifts are shipped to them. This control allows couples the freedom to tackle their wedding gifts (and thank you notes!) when they’re ready. \n\n- __For a wedding shower__, it’s up to you! Typically, these showers have gift-opening moments so, if you’d prefer to be involved in that, definitely show up gift in hand.\n\nOf course, there are exceptions. If the shower is taking place in a city where the host or couple doesn’t currently live (a hometown, for example), he or she may ask that any shower gifts be sent to a certain address to avoid traveling with them. If the couple is hosting a super intimate wedding, you may, in that case, prefer to show up with your physical gift instead of sending it directly. \n\nYou’ll know what’s best for each individual situation. Generally, though, plan to arrive at the wedding shower with your gift and plan to send your wedding gift in the mail.\n\nThe bottom line: Get both gifts. You don’t need to break the bank in order to give something the couple will truly appreciate.

Registries can contain a plethora of items from kitchenware and linens to appliances, and electronics. For tech-savvy couples, narrowing down electronics to add to a registry can pose a challenge. However, there’s no need to worry. Here’s everything you need to know followed by the top 10 electronics for your [registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry). \n\n## Price and Timing Considerations \n\nA few crucial things to keep in mind when making your registry is to get it to your guests well in advance, include items in a variety of price ranges, and involve your partner in creating your registry, so the list reflects both of you. \n\nPeople tend to plan gifts in advance, so make sure to leave your guests with ample time to shop. We recommend [creating your registry](https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-ideas/when-to-start-wedding-registry) before sending out your save the dates and at least two to three weeks before your engagement party or bridal shower.\n\nVarying price points on your registry is imperative, so that all of your guests feel comfortable within their individual budgets. The last thing you and your partner want is to make your registry financially inaccessible for some of your guests. A good rule of thumb is to hit three different price brackets (low price, mid-range, and expensive), and try to fit roughly ⅓ of your items into each category. Generally, you should also try to include plenty of items under $50 and $100. \n\nFinally, creating your registry with your spouse is a great bonding experience. Make a night or two out of it by eating dinner or drinking some wine while putting your list together online. The registering process is meant to be fun, so keep it lighthearted and make sure you and your partner select electronics products that suit you both for this new phase of your lives.\n\n## Top Electronics to Add to Your Registry\nNow that you know how to get started, here are Zola’s top ten electronics to add to your registry.\n\n### 1.[Smart Speaker](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/sonos_roam_smart_speaker_lunarwhite) ($169)\n\nIf you’re searching for portability, you’ve found it.

The question we get most often is, “How much should I spend on a wedding gift?” \n\nThe answer varies depending on a few factors, such as how well you know the couple and how many different wedding events you’re invited to. Some of you may even be wondering if you need to purchase a wedding gift at all. Read on for our complete guide on wedding gift etiquette.\n\n## How much should you spend on a wedding gift? \n\nThese days, where cost-per-plate (explained below) does not factor into your choice of a wedding gift, exactly how much you should spend on a [wedding gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-expensive-is-too-expensive-for-my-registry) depends on various factors. \n\nHere are some general guidelines to follow:\n\n- The average wedding gift amount ranges from $100 to $200, depending on how close you are to the couple. But more importantly, choosing a wedding gift isn’t about the price tag—it’s about giving the couple a special acknowledgment, from you to them, of this happy moment that they will use throughout their new life together.\n- Try to [find a gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-wedding-guests-need-to-know-about-gift-giving-right-now) that has both special significance to you and fits within what you can comfortably spend.\n- Most couples register for gifts at a range of prices, so while big-ticket items might be exciting, couples also want smaller gifts that hold just as much meaning, purpose, or joy in their daily lives.\n\nIf you’re still itching for dollar amount suggestions, follow these very loose guidelines for how much to spend on wedding gifts:\n\n- If you’re a coworker, acquaintance, or distant relative: $75-$100\n- If you’re a friend or relative: $100-$150\n- If you’re a close friend, immediate family, or part of the wedding party: $150-$200+\n- If you received a +1 on your invitation: 1.5-2x more on the gift\n\n## What’s the “cover your plate” rule? \n\nOnce upon a time, it was considered good etiquette to purchase a wedding gift with a price tag comparable to the cost per plate (i.e., your meal) at the reception. Although it’s outdated, this sneaky piece of advice still gets passed around by wedding attendees like wedding gospel.\n\nHere’s why you should leave it behind:\n\n- Following this guideline means having to ask around (or ask the couple directly) how much they’re spending per plate at their wedding, which is a pretty uncomfortable question to circulate.\n- It implies that you, as a guest, must spend a certain amount on a wedding gift regardless of your budget (which isn’t true).\n- Attending someone’s wedding isn’t a food-for-gift exchange. It’s about celebration and coming together.\n- This practice indicates to the couple that you’re only interested how much to spend on a wedding gift while giving them a gift that matches their wedding catering budget.\n\n![Wedding Card and Gift Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5glq0I26rQAjxyOfjH5813/8ce9ccd8d67313f238bd760ad3251819/Wedding_Card_and_Gift_Table.jpg) Photo by [Cameron & Madalyn](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/cameron-madalyn)\n\n## 10 popular questions wedding guests ask about gifts \n\n### 1. Is it OK to give a cash wedding gift?\n\nCash gifts are not only totally acceptable, they’re becoming increasingly requested by modern couples who are getting married later in life and have already outfitted their homes. If the couple is using Zola, they may have even registered for [cash funds](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds) to help them save for the honeymoon, a new home, a puppy, or even a lifetime supply of avocados (yes, it happened). \n\nHowever, there are a few best practices you should follow when contributing to a cash fund and wondering how much money to give as cash wedding gifts:\n\n- Make sure you contribute an appropriate wedding gift amount through the [couple’s registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) if their list provides that option.\n- If you write a check, mail it before the wedding day. Giving cash or checks on the big day isn’t necessarily wrong, but it does risk being lost in the chaos of the day.\n- If writing a check as a wedding gift, make sure to write it out to one person and use pre-married names. Couples don’t always share joint accounts or change their names after the nuptials, which can lead to the bank refusing to accept the funds.\n\n### 2. Should I contribute to a honeymoon fund as a gift?\n\nThose from former generations may consider a [honeymoon fund](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds) an oddity, but if the couple has one, by any means, utilize it. If you’re wondering, “What is a good wedding gift?” adding a massage, helping pay for a hotel, or contributing to the overall honeymoon fund can be a lifesaver.\n\n### 3. Is it OK to give a group wedding gift?\n\nYes! If you want to give the couple a big ticket item you can’t afford on your own, it’s a great idea to go in on a [group gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-you-need-to-know-about-group-gifting) with other guests. Zola’s group gifting feature can make this process extremely easy. \n\nTwo pieces of advice here:\n\n- Make sure that everyone contributes the same wedding gift amount they would have spent on smaller gifts purchased on their own. When wondering how much to spend on wedding gifts, don’t skimp as a group.\n- If you are attending a wedding as a large family, it’s a good rule of thumb that all adults (or each household) give their own gift.\n\n![Outdoor Wedding Gift Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/2iXLj665Jm4EC0B7CWzKll/1657930ea25025e4f6f905e8b8f7ea15/Outdoor_Wedding_Gift_Table.jpg) Photo by [Carson Lillard Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/carson-lillard-photography)","body2":"### 4. Can I buy wedding gifts that aren’t on the wedding registry?\n\nAs wedding gift etiquette, it’s always best to purchase a gift on the couple’s wedding registry. That way, you can ensure they like (and need) the item. \n\nIf all of their registry items have been purchased by the time you get around to buying a gift, you have a few options:\n\n1. Ask the couple if there’s anything else their hearts desire.\n2. Contribute to a cash fund (or give them cash or a check directly).\n3. Opt for an off-registry gift you’re 100% confident they’ll love. If you go with this option, make sure to get a gift receipt so that the couple can easily return duplicate or damaged items without hassle.\n\n### 5. Do I need to buy a gift if I can’t attend the wedding?\n\nIn short, yes. But there is some flexibility here depending on how well you know the couple and your personal financial situation. If you’re close friends, it’s best to send a gift and a personalized note with warm wishes. Your mom’s boss’s daughter that you’ve never met? While it’s always polite to send a gift if you can, in impersonal circumstances, you’re less on the hook.\n\n### 6. Should I buy a gift for a destination wedding?\n\nYes again. However, the travel and lodging costs that come with a destination wedding can put a big strain on your budget. It’s likely that the happy couple views your presence as a gift in itself, but if you want to get technical about it, purchasing a wedding gift is proper, even in the case of a [destination wedding](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/destination-wedding-checklist). \n\nIf you’re shelling out quite a bit to attend the wedding, then feel free to spend less than you typically would for a local celebration. With a [destination wedding](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/cut-destination-wedding-costs), there is a little leeway with how much cash to give for a wedding present.\n\n### 7. What is gifting wedding etiquette for a plus-one?\n\nFirst of all, be sure that [your plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/should-my-plus-one-sign-the-wedding-card) is cleared with the couple, either via the address on the invitation or by chatting with the couple beforehand. A surprise guest can really be a burden if they aren’t accounted for in the catering, seating arrangement, and other plans. That being said, when giving a gift, it’s best to double the amount you’d normally spend on the gift, therefore accounting for a present from both you and your guest.\n\n![Indoor Wedding Gift Card Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/6HW7vQWB23do9IdthbhVJa/039578bb7d7d460a05bb433657cfd51f/Indoor_Wedding_Gift_Card_Table.jpg) Photo by [Kristen Hope Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/kristen-hope-photography)\n\n### 8. Do I need to buy a gift for every wedding event that I’m invited to?\n\nYes. However, we know it can cause anxiety over how much to spend on a wedding gift. Buying this many gifts can be tough. If you are invited to the [engagement party](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/who-hosts-an-engagement-party), shower, and wedding, we suggest planning ahead and setting a [budget for gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/do-i-have-to-buy-a-wedding-shower-gift-and-a-wedding-gift) in advance. To make things easier on your wallet, follow the 20-20-60 rule, which dictates that you spread out your spending like so:\n\n- 20% on the engagement gift\n- 20% on the bridal shower\n- 60% on the wedding\n\nBreaking down the expenses and knowing how much to give as a wedding gift percentage-wise can be a big help. \n\n### 9. Should I ship my wedding gift or bring it with me?\n\nFollow these rules to determine if you should physically bring a gift with you to any wedding-related festivities:\n\n- If you attend a shower, engagement party, or purchase a gift that isn’t on the registry, take the wrapped gift along with you to the event.\n- If you bought a gift on a registry or are giving cash/check, gifts should be mailed to the couple before the big day.\n\n__Zola perk:__ Couples with a [Zola registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) have the option to ship your gift whenever is convenient for them. Whether that’s before the wedding, after they return from the honeymoon, or months later. Spreading out the gifts can alleviate some of the cost of how much to spend on a wedding gift.\n\n### 10. How late can I give a wedding gift?\n\nSpeaking of the timeline, some say you have up to a year to purchase a wedding gift. However, the best practice is always to buy and send gifts before the wedding day or within 3 months of the nuptials. Any longer, and you’re likely to forget. \n\nPlus, it’s more convenient for the couple to manage receiving gifts (and writing thank you notes) sooner rather than later. When wondering how much do you give for a wedding gift, waiting until after the big day can help. \n\n![Card Table at Wedding](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/4QEWoeiNaWA9Yp1ATKoewy/481be8bf09176e4d5b0466f36dffa01f/Card_Table_at_Wedding.jpg) Photo by [Lexi Wyatt Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/lexi-wyatt-photography)\n\n## Wedding gift amount FAQs \n### What can I do in place of a gift on the big day?\n\nIf finances are truly a hardship, don’t skip the special day due to gift-giving. The couple invited you and wants you to be a part and not stress over how much money to give at a wedding. That being said, if you can’t budget for a gift, it’s time to get creative! \n\nIf you know the couple well, think about any services you could offer to help them out. Here are a few examples (hint: these also make fun [last-minute wedding gift ideas](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/21-last-minute-wedding-gifts)):\n\n- __Have a beautiful garden?__ Gift the couple a monthly arrangement of fresh-cut flowers from your own garden during the peak season.\n- __Are you handy?__ Offer to help the couple get their new home ready. Hang photos, help paint rooms, install sound systems, and change light fixtures. Whatever is within your skill set works and will help them save instead of hiring someone.\n- __Love animals?__ If the couple has pets, offer pet-sitting services during their honeymoon or annual family vacation. Go the extra mile and spend extra time with their feathered, fur, or fish babies while they’re out of town.\n\n### Is it ever appropriate to ask the couple how much to spend on a wedding gift?\n\nUnless you’re especially close to the couple—say, a sibling or BFF—avoid this question and take cues in other ways. Look at their registry and see what they have listed. Also, follow the general rules given above. The couple has so many things to plan for their big day, and they shouldn’t be asked what amount to spend on them. \n\n### So, how much should I spend on a wedding gift?\nUltimately, how much to give for a wedding gift is up to you—and how well you know the couple. Typically something in the $100-$200 range is appropriate (per person). If that's a hardship, consider whether the couple would rather have you there to celebrate and the amount of money isn't a factor. \n\nWhether you’re invited to everything from the engagement party and bach parties to simply attending the wedding, knowing how much to spend on a wedding gift can prove daunting. \n\nRest assured that the couple wants you there to celebrate. Although you should give them a gift, it’s not their focus, so give graciously and with joy.

Take [plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-word-wedding-invitations) etiquette, for example. Whether you’re the couple on the inviting end or on the receiving end of an invitation, it can be tricky to know what’s considered appropriate when it comes to plus-ones. For that reason, we’ve compiled our best tips and etiquette for both engaged couples and guests regarding plus-ones. If you aren’t sure of the standard protocol, read on.\n\n## Plus-One Etiquette for the Couple\nWhile there aren’t any hard and fast plus-one rules, wedding plus-one etiquette can ensure that everything runs smoothly for you and your guest. Keep some best practices in mind, such as:\n\n### Who should get a plus-one?\nWhile compiling your guest list, you might begin to go back-and-forth on who should get a plus one. Deciding on your own can be a daunting task. To ease any stress and resolve confusion, familiarize yourself with who traditionally is allowed a plus-one at a wedding.\n\n- Wedding guests who are __married, engaged, and living together__ traditionally receive a plus-one. That being said, “living together” is interchangeable for those in serious and long-term relationships. \n\n- __Members of the wedding party__ should receive a plus-one. Allowing your bridesmaids and groomsmen to bring their significant others is a show of appreciation for their commitment and support throughout your engagement and wedding.\n\n- That being said, couples may be willing to extend a plus-one to guests in __specific situations__. For example, if only a few single people are invited and would greatly benefit from having a date at their side. Or, your best friend is traveling across the country to attend and doesn’t know anyone outside of the couple.\n\n### Who shouldn’t get a plus-one.\nThough plus-ones can be a comfort to guests and gesture of appreciation, not everyone can or should have one. Additional guests mean additional costs (more on that below) and, really, not every guest needs one. Below are individuals you shouldn’t feel pressured to allow an additional guest on your big day.\n\n- __Single guests who are casually dating.__ Traditional etiquette also says that, if someone hasn’t been in a relationship for over a year, allowing them to bring their partner isn’t a priority. That being said, consider special circumstances the ones mentioned above, here. If you have the budget to extend an invite to your close friend’s significant other of ten months, consider doing so. Use your best discretion.\n\n- __Single people who will know other guests.__ Siblings, cousins, close friends, and others who aren’t in a serious relationship, but will know a decent amount of other guests, don’t need a plus-one. Because they’re close to or familiar with other attendees, they’re sure to be comfortable and have a good time.\n\n- __Coworkers.__ This is often the case, because, if one coworker is allowed to bring a guests, all of them should be able to. This can quickly drive up costs and your guest count. That being said, if you’re close with your boss and invite them, it’s good etiquette to offer them a plus-one.\n\n![INLINE ChrisKoeppenPhotography 1080x720 James&Lily](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/672dzBFg87BhXxOA8I3zXF/56681f13b955c932a401e6600b91d061/INLINE_ChrisKoeppenPhotography_1080x720_James_Lily.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Chris Koeppen Photography\n\n### How can a plus-one affect the cost of the wedding?\nOne of the more meticulous aspects of wedding planning is deciding on and sticking to a wedding budget. And, simply put, the number of guests in attendance can drastically effect your bottom line. That’s because, most often, venues and other vendors (notably, caterers and bartenders) will charge you per-person. A plus-one means another favor, plate of food, several drinks, and a literal seat at the table, adding to your set-up, catering, and bar expenses, at least. This makes offering someone a plus-one incredibly generous, since you’ll be footing the bill for their attendance.\n\n## Tips for making a plus-one invitation list\nPutting together your [wedding invitations](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-word-wedding-invitations-with-no-plus-one) and deciding on invited guest can be quite the task, in and of itself. Add the prospect of plus-ones and it’s easy to become overwhelmed. To avoid much of the stress and ensure you’re following good etiquette, consider these tips.\n\n- __Know (and use) every plus-one’s name.__ If you know the specific guest someone is going to bring, look up or confirm the spelling of their name (as well as their title, if applicable). This way, it’ll be spelled and they’ll be addressed correctly on any save the dates, invitations, and seating signage or escort cards. Plus, it looks much more formal than “guest.”\n\n- __Include their name on the RSVP response card.__ Again, if a specific individual is expected to be an additional guest, provide their name on the RSVP cards (or in your online RSVP system). This will prevent guests from extended the invitation to someone else or trying to bring multiple people.\n\n- __Know and stick to your guest list limit.__ Whether your venue or budget only allows for a certain amount of people, be aware of or figure that number out and stick to it. Be realistic, even if it means not giving out many plus-ones—or any at all. Better to be safe than have to retract anyone’s plus-one due to inviting too many people.\n\n## Plus-One Etiquette for Guests\nGuests, too, should be respectful of the engaged couple and aware of proper plus-one etiquette, such as:\n\n### If your invitation doesn’t list a plus-one, you can’t bring a guest.\n\nThis may seem obvious, but many guests have been tempted or even gone through with [asking the couple if they can still bring a plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/is-it-ever-ok-to-ask-for-a-1-to-a-wedding). While some cases may be for good reason, most often this can be stressful and awkward for both you and the engaged couple. Simply put, if your invitation only lists your name, you’re being invited alone. You can’t bring an added guest—and shouldn’t push for one, either. Don’t try to RSVP with a plus-one and definitely don’t show up with one on the day of.\n\n### Bring a date, unless a friend is okayed.\nTypically speaking, a plus-one is a formal date. Having one doesn’t often mean that you can bring anyone of your choosing. If you were given a plus-one, but don’t have a date to bring, don’t assume it’s okay to substitute with a friend. Of course, you can always reach out to the couple and ask if doing so is alright. Sometimes, they won’t mind. Others, however, will find it rude. If you feel strange asking, err on the side of caution and attend alone.\n\n### If you do get a plus-one, RSVP with care.\nRSVPing seems simple enough, but has its own set of etiquette when it comes to plus-ones. If you were generously given a plus one, keep the following in mind when it comes to sending in your RSVP.\n\n- If your guest was named on your invitation, __don’t substitute them with someone else__. They are your plus-one and aren’t exchangeable. If they can’t attend, RSVP for yourself alone.\n\n- If you were given a non-specific plus-one, __use their name when submitting your RSVP__, whether that’s online or via RSVP card. It’s only polite to let the couple know ahead of time who you plan on bringing.\n\n- Don’t RSVP with a plus-one unless __you’re certain they can and will attend__. If you or they aren’t sure, play it save and RSVP for only yourself.\n\n- Don’t RSVP with a plus-one under the assumption that you’ll find someone. The couple of hosts of the wedding pay for each individual that’s said to be coming to the wedding. If you RSVP with a plus-one and end up not bringing someone, the money that went towards their plate is wasted.\n\n### Give a gift as a couple.\nGenerally, wedding gifts are given as part of a unit, whether that unit is a family of four or a couple. In other words, no, your plus-one doesn’t have to purchase his or her own gift. It’s perfectly acceptable to purchase one gift from the two of you.\n\nIt’s also acceptable for your date to contribute to the gift in some way. However, like most wedding guidelines, this isn’t a hard and fast rule. It depends on how close your date is to the happy couple.\n\nIf your cousin is getting married, and your date has literally never met him, consider picking up the full cost of the gift yourself. If your date has met the bride here and there, he or she may offer to contribute or split the cost with you in some way. Ultimately, if your date is a near stranger to the couple getting married, you may want to just plan on taking care of the gift yourself. Since your date is coming as your guest, it’s a thoughtful gesture.\n\n![INLINE EicharPhotography 1080x720 Monica&Emir](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5ql2boFrsVdzStUhfzhgxr/86b81fd5fbb25a1343fb14f66b71d637/INLINE_EicharPhotography_1080x720_Monica_Emir.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Eichar Photography\n\n### Give a gift that reflects that you have a guest.\nGenerally, yes. However, you’re not obligated to spend a certain amount of money on the gift, and you’re definitely not required to spend enough to “[cover your plate](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift).” (This is the wedding etiquette myth that won’t die!)\n\nA good rule of thumb is to double whatever you were planning on spending if you’re bringing a date. For example, if you’re comfortable spending $75 when you fly solo, plan on spending around $150 if you’re inviting a plus-one.\n\nThink about your budget and what you can reasonably spend, but don’t sweat the dollar signs too much. The most important thing to remember is that you’re giving a gift because you love the couple.\n\n### Have your plus-one sign the card if...\nThere are a couple of instances when your date should always sign the card, including when:\n\n- __He or she is your long-term partner__—and you both know the couple. Perhaps you’re not married, but you’ve dated or lived together for several years. This one’s a no-brainer. Both your names should be on the card, even if one or both of the couple is more “your friend” (or family) than your partner’s.\n\n- __You’ve been dating for at least a year__—and your partner has met the couple at least a handful of times. Maybe your plus-one doesn’t know your childhood bestie or sorority sister or cousin as well as you do, but if the two of you have been together seriously for at least a year and the soon-to-be-married couple has met your partner at least three times, put his or her name down.\n\n- __You’re bringing a family member who knows the couple well__. For example, you’re bringing your mom or sister as your date to your old neighbor’s nuptials.\n\n### Don’t have your plus-one sign the card if...\nLikewise, there are a few instances in which your date doesn’t need to sign the card, including when:\n\n- __Your relationship is brand new__—or you’ve only been on a few dates together before the wedding\n\n- __He or she has never met the soon-to-be-married couple__\n\n- __You’re bringing a friend who doesn’t know the couple__\n\nWhat if your relationship to your plus-one doesn’t fit neatly into one of the above categories? First of all, don’t fret. Feel free to use your best judgment: If your plus-one and the couple are complete strangers who couldn’t pick each other out in a crowd, you can leave his or her name off. If you think it might hurt your plus-one’s feelings if he or she is excluded from the card? Go ahead and sign for the both of you. Chances are, the married couple won’t be offended by your plus-one’s good wishes. In fact, they’ll probably appreciate them!\n\nAt the end of the day, don’t let traditional etiquette stress you out too much. If you’re the engaged couple, make the decisions you think are best for your wedding day (including your space and budget). If you’re the guest, do your best to abide by etiquette and the couple’s wishes. If there’s any confusion, don’t hesitate to start a well-intentioned conversation.\n","tag":"Advice","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Masterbrand"}},"nextUp":[{"excerpt":"It's a common question and the answer isn't always straightforward.

Someone you love is getting married and they want you there to celebrate. If you’re particularly close with the couple, you may get a few more invitations along the way to various pre-wedding events, including the wedding shower. You’re probably prepared to buy a wedding gift off the couple’s registry, but what about a [wedding shower gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/a-guide-to-bridal-showers)? You might be wondering if you even need to buy both. Gift etiquette isn’t always straightforward. Let’s break it down.\n\n## Do I need to buy a gift for the shower and the wedding?\n__In short: Yes.__ We definitely recommend purchasing a gift for both the wedding and the wedding shower. That’s the simplest way to layout the basic gift etiquette. However, there are a few stipulations such as price, size, and more that come with that advice.\n\n![INLINE PhotobyStarNoirPhotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/1AJjZuw8TOa2IAOwj2OlgJ/ee2177f21d8f17f9cdaeb2905ebe973d/INLINE_PhotobyStarNoirPhotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Star Noir Photography\n\n### Wedding Shower Gifts vs. Wedding Gifts \nNot all gifts are created equal—or at least they don’t have to present as if they are. Yes, you should purchase both a wedding gift and a wedding shower gift, but they don’t have to be of equal value. In fact, you can (and should) feel free to spend less on a shower gift than you do on a wedding present.\n\nTraditional wedding etiquette says that your wedding gift should [cover the cost of your meal and drinks](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift) at the wedding—which can fall somewhere between $50 and $200. It’s a big range, but all weddings are different so you’ll know best where your gift should fit into that. Typically, you’ll select something from the couple’s registry anyway, which makes the whole wedding gift situation pretty straightforward.\n\nAs far as a wedding shower gift goes, the same rules do not apply. Giving a gift in the $25-$75 price range is completely acceptable. If it’s your best friend since childhood’s shower and you want to spoil her/him, by all means, go for it. Just know that you don’t have to.\n\n### Should I buy the wedding shower gifts and wedding gifts off the registry?\nSimply put: You should buy your wedding gift off the [couple’s wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry). These are the gifts they specifically chose because they want or need them. So, definitely choose from there for the wedding gift. \n\nAdditionally, you can buy the wedding shower gift from that same registry. And why wouldn’t you? Here’s a [selection of gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/essentials-to-put-on-your-registry) that you know the couple will be happy to receive. If you can find something in your budget, it’s a win-win. \n\nIf you’re particularly close with the host or couple (or you can’t find anything on the registry within your budget), it’s OK to stray from the registry. Your wedding shower gift can be a great opportunity to give something a little more sentimental and personal. Is the bride a bit of a product junkie? Get her a monogrammed makeup bag to hold her wedding day makeup. Does the couple love to try new wines? Try a wine subscription box. Is a dog or cat the center of their lives? Gift a custom pet portrait. \n\nThe point is if you decide to shop for your own wedding shower gift, make sure it’s something he or she will love.\n\n![INLINE PhotobyProcopioPhotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/76I3hdQXt8pAeZwyi9vlnS/4feffa18c209d68376cb8b6bab6bb73c/INLINE_PhotobyProcopioPhotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Procopio Photography\n\n### Should I show up with my gifts or send them directly? \nThe etiquette fun continues! When it comes to delivery, wedding shower gifts and wedding gifts also have a different set of rules.\n\n- __For wedding gifts__, it probably makes more sense to send your gift directly to the couple via their registry. There are a few reasons for this. First, the couple has a lot going on. Tracking and transporting their gifts isn’t a task you necessarily want to contribute to. Also, couples with Zola wedding registries can actually choose when their wedding gifts are shipped to them. This control allows couples the freedom to tackle their wedding gifts (and thank you notes!) when they’re ready. \n\n- __For a wedding shower__, it’s up to you! Typically, these showers have gift-opening moments so, if you’d prefer to be involved in that, definitely show up gift in hand.\n\nOf course, there are exceptions. If the shower is taking place in a city where the host or couple doesn’t currently live (a hometown, for example), he or she may ask that any shower gifts be sent to a certain address to avoid traveling with them. If the couple is hosting a super intimate wedding, you may, in that case, prefer to show up with your physical gift instead of sending it directly. \n\nYou’ll know what’s best for each individual situation. Generally, though, plan to arrive at the wedding shower with your gift and plan to send your wedding gift in the mail.\n\nThe bottom line: Get both gifts.

Some guests can afford to splurge on lavish gifts for the newlyweds, while others may be a bit more conservative in choosing the best wedding gift within their budget for the happy couple. Keep this in mind when it comes to adding items to your __[wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry)__. \n\nWhen creating a registry for your wedding day—and your life as a married couple—we always recommend adding smaller- and larger-ticket items so there's something for all budgets. There's no need to skip expensive gifts, though. Just make it a group gift! From gift ideas for your new home to unique wedding gift experiences for your [honeymoon](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/honeymoon-fund-101) and beyond, here's how it works—and why you should do it.\n\n## What Is Group Gifting?\nGroup gifting is a win-win situation for the couple and the guest. It allows the couple to choose whatever great wedding gifts they want, in whatever price range they want. At the same time, the guests stay in their budget, contributing what they wish to an extra special wedding present. We handle all the logistics for your guests so there’s no unnecessary back and forth…and ensure you receive the most perfect wedding gifts.\n\n## Why Should I Use Group Gifting?\nWell, like we said, it makes your registry experience completely accessible to all budget levels. Plus, it's a Zola secret that making an expensive item a group gift actually increases your chances of receiving that gift. Guests are less likely to simply skip over it if they can't afford the entire thing.\n\n## What Counts As A Group Gift?\nAnything you want! Really, anything. At Zola we offer an extremely wide range of registry items—from expensive barware to whole furniture pieces to keepsakes and experiences you'll remember forever. Usually group gifts are on the more expensive end but, with your Zola registry, you can make anything a group gift.\n\n## Do Guests Have To Go In On A Group Gift Together?\nNope! You can get that swanky bar cart from your coworker, great aunt, and friend from high school without any stress or coordination on their part (or yours, of course). We'll keep track of who contributed to what, though, so you can be sure to thank everyone when it's time.\n\n## How Do I Do It?\nWhen you register at Zola, you can turn on the group gifting feature for any item on your registry. This includes big-ticket items for the home, newlywed cash funds, and even charity funds. Just select group gifting as you're adding the item to let your friends and family know the deal.\n\n## 26 Best Group Wedding Gift Ideas for Your Registry!\nNow that you've decided to use our group gifting feature, we figured we'd offer some recommendations and [wedding gift ideas for your registry](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/wedding-registry-ideas). How you choose to employ group gifting is entirely up to you! Go big or go home on big-ticket items or set up a __[fund](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds)__ for the charity of your choice or your __[honeymoon](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds)__. Here are a few fun physical items that work well as group gifts.\n\n### 1. Quality Cookware\n![lecreuset braiser flame A 750](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/4AMZs0ayYapg5aX2knILRW/0cf074133fbe197a818ecf0f946e856c/lecreuset_braiser_flame_A_750.jpg)\n*Le Creuset – $285*\n\nGroup Gifting really comes in handy when you want to add high-quality brands to your wedding registry like [Le Creuset](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/lecreuset_braiser_flame).

Couples Massage\n![zeel couples massage nyc A 750](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/sFA4la2wmRFPP4Lois4Yp/1af941046b93827410d3db42573f98c0/zeel_couples_massage_nyc_A_750.jpg)\n*Zeel – $100-$318, depending on location*\n\nWho could resist a [couples massage](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/zeel) leading up to your big day? Or perhaps save it for a time when all the wedding festivities have died down and you two are still looking to celebrate. Either way, turn on [group gifting](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) and let your guests contribute to an afternoon of sheer bliss…which might just be the best wedding gift of all!\n\n### 4. A Weekend Adventure\n![5a43faf1c268e921c9efce18 A 1600](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5cUanq0u3jvExwRyu3nqa2/8452eaa0bd6cc3f3a9f810797b64d79d/5a43faf1c268e921c9efce18_A_1600.jpeg)\n*Cloud 9 Living - $250*\n\nSure, you're planning your honeymoon, but that won't be the last getaway you take as a couple.

Wine Glasses\nA wedding is all about upgrading what you already have—so if you've been sipping out of a mismatched set of wine glasses since you moved in together, go ahead and register for a full-scope set. Because, yes, there are differently shaped glasses for reds and whites—and a full set can be a great option for a group gift.\n\n[Zwiesel Glas Sensa Mixed Red & White Wine Glasses](https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/schott-zwiesel-vivid-senses-wine-glasses/), $120, Williams Sonoma\n\n### 7.

Premium Blender\nIf you're still using the same blender you had in your first post-college apartment, you're definitely due for an upgrade—and your registry is the perfect opportunity to add a professional-level blender to your kitchen. And because high-end blenders can have a high price tag, they make for great group gifts. \n\n[Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender](https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/vitamix-pro-750-blender), $629.96, Williams Sonoma\n\n### 10.

Date Night Experiences\nIf you're looking for wedding registry gift ideas that aren't physical objects, adding a few experiences or activities is a great idea.

Dutch Oven\nFrom Sunday sauces to hearty soups, Dutch ovens are kitchen workhorses—and can be on the pricey side, making them a great group gift.

Put what you need or want on your list.\n- Our wedding registry ideas include everything from wine glasses and a cookware set to things to make your bedding super plush.\n\n## Now, let's talk wedding registry ideas!\n\nBrainstorming [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) ideas is arguably one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning. What’s not to love about crafting a curated wish list to kick off your lives as newlyweds?\n\nNot only has Zola curated a list of popular wedding registry ideas, ranging from unique to necessity, but you can also learn what you should know before even setting your registry up. \n\nYour [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/bridal-shower-registry-and-a-wedding-registry) is your guests’ true north for choosing the perfect wedding gift, and it streamlines the entire gift-giving and receiving process. Ultimately, your wedding registry should align with you and your partner’s goals.\n\nWhen trying to curate the perfect list, start with the [Zola™ Wedding Registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) to get your creative juices flowing. Not only can you add practical items like bedding and cookware to your wish list, but there are plenty of opportunities to think outside of the box. For example, you can start a cash fund, splurge on a honeymoon experience, or ask for travel gift cards.\n\nNo matter what you put on your Zola [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/eloping-wedding-registry)—from Zola or other sites—your loved ones will find it easy to select the perfect gift. __Bonus__: You can also find items exclusive to Zola that aren’t sold anywhere else. And if you don’t get a few key items, most are 20% off for six months after the big day.\n\nHowever, maybe your home is already furnished, but you’re saving for renovations. In that case, your registry is begging for a cash fund. Or perhaps you’d happily forfeit material gifts for a [fully funded honeymoon](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds). Maybe this is a chance to finally stock up on those home essentials you never bothered with when you were single things like quality bedding, upgraded cookware, or kitchen dishes (that actually match).\n\nEven if you think you’re pretty much covered with everything you need to kickstart married life, you’ll find [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) ideas and useful advice that you might not have considered for your special occasion. \n\n![Zola wedding registry 2023](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/1b2m3KZuMqgn6rch2ezLoY/f89b81d672b34ec5d25e108e6b3cfc14/DSC_9052.jpg)\n\n## Why do I need a wedding registry?\n \nA wedding registry lets you curate all your gift preferences in one place (and avoid receiving gifts you don’t really need). Friends, family, and loved ones are usually very eager to purchase gifts for newlyweds, and your registry helps them feel confident that they’re getting you something you’ll love. Online registry perks like group gifting, controlled shipping, easy gift exchanges, and [post-wedding discounts](https://www.zola.com/faq/115002837952-how-do-we-use-our-20-post-wedding-discount-) also make the shopping experience more efficient for both you and your guests.\n\n## What Zola couples are saying about wedding registry ideas\n \nWhen looking forward to their big days, couples check lots of things off of their list. Plus, in the midst of wedding planning, making a registry is one thing on the to-do list that focuses on your future life and home together.\n\nHere's what 7000 couples had to say about their registries when they answered Zola's survey to compile our [First Look Report](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/the-first-look-report-2024).\n- 99.52% of couples waited until after they were engaged to curate their wedding registry.\n- 96.3% of our couples said that creating a registry wasn't a pain point while planning their weddings.\n- 16.69% of Zola's respondents said that they were getting creative with their budget by adding things like cash funds (for photographer fees and other wedding expenses) to their registry.\n- 83% of couples said that having a wedding registry is a must. \n- 86.62% said that a cash fund was going to be part of their registry options.\n\n![wedding-registry-etiquette](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/3peTv0mZbMgzqKFTwJSZ7j/dc7787d521ffbc4c75ac10253444b1ad/wedding-registry-etiquette.png)\n\n## What to put on a wedding registry?\n \nReady to dive in?

Is it okay to keep adding to your registry?\nYes, of course! Not only will different guests take a look at your registry at different times, but they’ll also appreciate a wider range of wedding registry ideas to scroll through as time passes. If you think of something you’d love closer to the big day, add it to your online wedding registry!\n\nCheck out this article for more info on [how a wedding registry works](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-does-a-wedding-registry-work-the-experts-guide).\n\n### 2. What should you not put on your wedding registry?\nYour wedding registry should include items you know you and your partner will use for years to come. Avoid adding highly personal gifts that are specific to just one of you. Instead, opt for things you can share with your partner as you begin your new life together.\n\n### 3. Is it ok to ask for money instead of gifts?\nAbsolutely. Cash-specific funds are becoming increasingly popular, and guests can still feel excited about contributing to a designated fund rather than handing you an envelope of cash. This works even better when you tell your guests what you’re saving for, like your honeymoon or home improvements.\n\nExpert Advice: If you’re wondering exactly how to ask for money instead of gifts for your wedding, look no further than the [Cash Funds feature](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry/how-cash-gifts-work) on Zola Registries!","tag":"List","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Registry"}},"widget2":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Registry"}},"widget3":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Registry"}},"stickyCta":{"copy":"Build Your Zola Registry","url":"https://www.zola.com/onboard/new"},"updatedAt":"2025-03-13T17:26:53.745Z"},{"type":"articlePage","topic":{"name":"Registry & gifts","slug":"registry-gifts"},"subtopic":{"name":"Wedding registry basics","slug":"wedding-registry-basics"},"slug":"how-to-create-a-registry-if-you-already-live-together","title":"How to Create a Registry if You Already Live Together ","excerpt":"We're here to tell you why building a wedding registry is still really necessary, regardless of whether you live together before marriage.

Zola experts say yes!\n- Guests will still want to buy you gifts, and you can also register for items for your home that suit both of your tastes.\n- Items from [experiences and gift cards](https://www.zola.com/shop/category/local-experiences?tags=LOC_NATIONAL) to photo albums and cash funds are great ideas.\n\n## Now, let's chat about what to put on your registry if you're already living together\nOlder generations stocked their hope chests with items ready for their wedding day, after which partners would move in together and begin their new life. However, today, families look different. Couples live together, have [second marriages](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/5-non-traditional-second-wedding-ideas), and even blend families, which is all ok! If you find yourself in a situation where you are already living together, you might be wondering if a wedding registry is appropriate. To which, we here at Zola say—absolutely! \n\nMany couples live together for years before tying the knot. This means many of you already have tons of dishes, several sets of bedding, all the kitchen appliances you need, and rooms full of lovely décor. But if from where you sit (in your fully stocked home) you think you don’t need a [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry), think again.\n\n![Happy couple](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/7gTzB6vyLwODv314XmpqLJ/2a9f21aa5d5daea1e3acf125bec4d800/pexels-anna-pou-9451221.jpg)\n\n## 5 Types of registry gifts for couples who already live together\n\nWhen it comes to building a wedding registry for couples that already live together, there are four types of gifts you should focus on: \n1. Everyday-item upgrades\n2. Memorable pieces to collect \n3. Unique experiences and gift cards\n4. Cash funds for future expenses\n5. Charitable donations\n\nStay tuned for Zola's best ideas in each of the above categories.\n\n## What to put on a wedding registry if you already live together\nBased on the five registry gift categories above, here are some of our top suggestions for what couples should put on their wedding registry if they already live together:\n\n### Everyday-item upgrades\n\n#### 1. Le Creuset cookware\nEven if you have everyday pots and pans, you should register for a few pieces of [Le Creuset](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/le-creuset?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) cast iron cookware. These items are simple, beautiful, high-quality, and will last you a lifetime. Upgrade by registering for a classic Dutch oven or a few baking dishes and donate any old cookware that’s scratched or stained. \n\n__Why our couples love Le Creuset:__ The pots and pans (and many other items) produced by Le Creuset last a lifetime. It's truly a one and done purchase.\n\n#### 2. Prep bowls\nStart off your life as newlyweds by decluttering your home: throw out all of those mismatched plastic bowls you have lying around and register for [Duralex’s Lys Nesting Prep/Mixing Bowls](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/duralex_lysprep_10pc?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777). Whether you’re making a salad, beating eggs, or need something to hold a dipping sauce, these are versatile and classic.\n\n__Why our couples love glass prep bowls:__ Not only are these bowls perfect for measuring out ingredients in addition to mixing. In a pinch, they are also ideal for serving. Chips and salsa, anyone?\n\n#### 3. Fancy wine glasses\nThink practical. Wine glasses are something you probably use often, and you can never have enough of these for when you host parties. Get beautiful white, red, and champagne glasses that all match with [Schott Zwiesel’s Forte Collection](https://www.zola.com/shop/kit/schott-zwiesel-forte-glassware-collection).\n\n__Why our couples love glass prep bowls:__ Whether a casual wine drinker or a connoisseur, these glasses are a hit. They're reinforced at both ends of the stem and rim to ensure that they endure—just like your love.\n\n#### 4. Chef-worthy pans\nIf you cook at home regularly, do yourself a favor and upgrade your cooking experience with a set of premium pots and pans. This [Nouvelle Copper 10-Piece Cookware Set from Anolon](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/anolon_nouvelle_10piece_cookwareset?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) not only looks attractive, but cooks foods quickly and evenly thanks to its stainless steel and copper construction.\n\n__Why our couples love copper pots and pans:__ The outside of this cookware has a brushed finish. Although scratches are inevitable, the finish does a great job at hiding them. \n\n#### 5. Linen sheets\nHow many hours of your life do you spend in your bed? We aren’t going to do the math, but we know it’s a lot. Improve your sleeping environment with a light and airy [Linen 4-Piece Sheet Set from Parachute](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/parachute_linensheetset_bundle_white), which is made from 100% Portuguese linen that will only improve with time.\n\n__Why our couples love linen sheets:__ Couples sleep at different temperatures, but airy, natural fabric sheets have a cozy, cooling effect. Perfect for newlyweds!\n\n![Le Creuset Wedding Registry Items](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5lGk29HlJ01xz79kq3oxQL/832d111d8c3e927e47428b4b62e8bcae/Le_Creuset_Wedding_Registry_Items.jpg)\n\n### Memorable pieces to collect\n\n#### 1. Classic china\nRegistering for china is a classic wedding tradition. You might have cups and plates in your home, but owning a set of beautiful, special occasion china from your wedding is something you will cherish forever. We love [Wedgwood’s Arris 5-Piece Place Setting](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/wedgwood_arris_5pc_placesetting?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777). These plates and bowls are detailed and ornate as well as clean and timeless, making them a perfect addition to your registry. \n\n__Why our couples love classic china:__ Entertaining is making a big comeback, which many don't already have a set. A wedding registry is the perfect opportunity to stock up on beautiful pieces.\n\n#### 2. Custom wedding photo albums\nYour gorgeous new wedding photos deserve a home as beautiful and enduring as they are. Register for your own [Zola wedding album](https://www.zola.com/wedding-albums/shop) with customizable options from thick, luxe paper to beautiful foils, linens, leathers, and more. And we can't forget this [Float Frame](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/artifactuprising_float_frame?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) for displaying one of your favorite shots from the day. \n\n__Why our couples love surrounding themselves with photos:__ From a coffee table wedding album to a favorite photo displayed in a frame, what's not to love? Zola's couples love putting their big day on display.\n\n#### 3. KitchenAid stand mixer\nOne of the most popular wedding gifts on Zola for good reason, the KitchenAid stand mixer has stood the test of time as a high-end appliance that looks gorgeous on your countertop and takes care of all your baking needs, forever. Go big with any of our [KitchenAid Stand Mixers](https://www.zola.com/search/gifts?q=kitchenaid%20stand%20mixer).\n\n__Why our couples love their stand mixers:__ From daily meals to entertaining at the holidays, nothing gets the job done in a pinch like a KitchenAid. Plus, they're a registry staple!\n\n#### 4. Cut crystal vase\nA timeless piece of crystal, especially made by renowned brand Waterford, is a gift you’ll use and treasure forever (and maybe even pass on to future generations). Start your crystal collection off with the [Waterford Lismore Bud Vase](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/waterford_lismore_vase_7), which is the elegant, year-round solution for a simple handful of blooms.\n\n__Why our couples love crystal vases:__ Newlyweds love romance, which is often shown in flowers. Plus, fresh blooms create a sense of life and freshness, just like a new marriage will.\n\n#### 5. Artwork\nBegin your art collection as a married couple with a print from famous [New York photographer](https://www.zola.com/inspire/search/wedding-photographers/new-york-ny) Gray Malin. Register for a [Gray Malin art gift card](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/graymalin_giftcard_100?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) to use online at the artist’s website, where you can choose something that speaks to you as a couple, and will always remind you of your newlywed days. \n\n__Why our couples love artwork:__ Zola's couples enjoy infusing unique touches into their wedding days and their lives—even on their walls. Skipping the big box store and having a striking photo on the wall can make a statement.\n\n![Zola Wedding Photo Album](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/7tMcOMRcXmzqVoVoK1gWVr/9afbdb83a3233a38ebfae45b98640a03/Zola_Wedding_Photo_Album.jpg)\n\n### Experiences and gift card ideas \n\n#### 1. Exercise membership\nNeed motivation to get in shape before the big day (no pressure from us!)? Try a 12-month [running club membership](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/cloud9_twelve_month_virtual_running_club_membership) from Virgin. Feel camaraderie and have the power to keep going by joining a group. Having accountability is a big motivator for many. \n\n__Why our couples love exercising:__ The couple that plays together, stays together. So, working out is a great way for Zola's newlyweds to connect and work towards a common goal.\n\n#### 2. Home-cooked meal plan kit\nPut those new pots and pans to work in your kitchen with a [Blue Apron gift card](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/blueapron_blue_apron_gift_card). You can select a plan that’s perfectly portioned for two people. Let Blue Apron do the recipe hunting, grocery shopping, and ingredient-portioning, so you and your spouse can focus on the fun part: cooking (and eating) together as a new family. \n\n__Why our couples love meal kits:__ Relationship building is essential to Zola couples. Working out together is a great time to unwind, release endorphins, and reconnect.\n\n#### 3. Travel gift cards\nJet off to exotic destinations thanks to your wedding guests, who can buy you gift cards to major airlines like Southwest or [Delta](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/delta-air-lines?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) in specific cash increments from $100 up to $500. Travel by sea more your thing? Zola’s got gift cards to [Royal Caribbean](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/royal-caribbean?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777), [Celebrity](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/celebrity-cruises?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777), and [Carnival](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/carnival?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) cruise lines as well.\n\n__Why our couples love travel cards:__ Honeymoon fund, anyone? Travel gift cards are a fabulous way to help pay off a big trip or have extra fun while you're there.\n\n#### 4. Airbnb gift cards\nYou’ll need a comfy home base once you arrive at your destination. Register for [Airbnb gift cards](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/airbnb?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) (again in specific cash increments) to enjoy a home away from home for your far or near adventures. Or register for gift cards to [Hotels.com](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/hotels-com?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) or [Mr & Mrs Smith](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/mr-mrs-smith?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) if rental homes aren’t your style. \n\n__Why our couples love a gift card from Airbnb:__ Airbnb offers unique stays, which make weekend getaways and honeymoons a truly memorable time. Plus a regular stay can turn into a splurge with a gift card.\n\n#### 5. Winc monthly wine club\nYou’re going to need something to pour into all of those new wine glasses. Register for a 1-, 3-, or 6-month subscription to [Winc’s monthly wine club](https://www.zola.com/shop/product/clubw_monthly_wineclub?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777), where you’ll be able to handpick bottles of superb vino from top winemakers to be sent directly to your door. \n\n__Why our couples love Winc:__ It's hard to look forward to getting mail anymore as all that seems to arrive are bills and sales flyers. When wine arrives, it can change around an entire day. \n\n![Mr and Mrs Smith Gift Card Wedding Registry](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/1oI5fGykE8C8jeiNOHWV1m/86396fced92c116fe049c1ecbb6dfe86/Mr_and_Mrs_Smith_Gift_Card_Wedding_Registry.jpg)\n\n### Cash funds\n\nWhether it’s for a general honeymoon fund, specific honeymoon upgrades like a top-end resort or surfing lessons, or any other big-ticket expenses you want to start saving for now, register for [cash funds](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) on Zola. \n\nWe’ve come up with tons of cash fund ideas—from a home renovation fund to a puppy fund to a fund for ballet tickets—or you can customize your own. Add specific cash increments or allow guests to contribute whatever they wish towards your total goal (you still get to keep however much you’re gifted, even if you don’t hit the total). \n\n__Why our couples love cash funds:__ Save up for the fun stuff with a cash fund. Folks can give a particular amount that suits their needs, which makes Zola couples feel at ease by putting less pressure on their guests.\n\n### Charitable donations\n\nFor the well-established couple who would rather give back to their communities and their world, there’s nothing classier than asking your guests to make charitable donations to your favorite non-profits and chosen causes in lieu of actual gifts. \n\nWe’ve made it easy at Zola to register for donations to [GlobalGiving](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/globalgiving?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777) and [Charitable Choice](https://www.zola.com/shop/brand/charitychoice?_branch_match_id=749683797404546777), which will direct your guests’ cash gifts towards charities working for an end to world hunger, disease prevention, disaster recovery, and those that help children, education, the environment, human rights, and many other causes.\n\n__Why our couples love charitable donations:__ Some couples are minimalists or truly have everything. Zola's couples who aren't in need of anything love choosing a cause for folks to give a feel-good donation instead of just collecting more stuff in their homes.\n\n## Why cohabitating couples still need a wedding registry\n\n\n### 1. To create your \"together\" home\nThis is your chance to build the home of your dreams together, filled with things that bring you joy—not just the random assortment of stuff you’ve combined from past living quarters. Is your cookware a hodgepodge of scratched pans you used in college? Is your couch a relic from your SO’s first apartment (that’s seen it’s fair share of house parties)? \n\nYour [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/wedding-registry-tips) is the perfect opportunity to upgrade old, worn, or not particularly special objects with items you two can pick out together—items that match your lifestyle, your interests, and your tastes as a couple. \n\n### 2. Because guests want to buy you gifts\nYour guests will want to buy you gifts to celebrate your big day no matter what, so why not give them a little guidance to ensure you wind up with gifts you actually want? \n\nThere’s nothing sweeter than thinking of a favorite loved one when you use his or her [wedding gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift) on a regular basis. Allowing your friends and family to gift you special keepsakes (or luxe upgrades) means you’ll be surrounded by reminders of love and support in your newlywed home. \n\n### 3. To register for your future\n[Wedding registries](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/eloping-wedding-registry) have evolved beyond standard gifts. If you feel as though you already have all the necessities you and your partner could possibly want, register for intangibles to help set up your married life. \n\nAt Zola, couples can register for cool experiences (like cooking classes), gift cards for airlines and hotels for use on your honeymoon or other future travel, and cash funds for major expenses like a home down payment or a new car.\n\n## Ready to register?\n\nOf course, Zola's expertise lies in wedding registries, so if you haven't taken the plunge yet, we encourage you to do so. Not only will your guests know what to give you, but you can receive everything from small kitchen appliances to the fun stuff (like travel cards!) as wedding gifts.

And, while we love traditional gifts and registry staples like [kitchen appliances](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) and [crystal barware](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds), there’s no denying the appeal of cold hard cash. It may sound a bit unrefined but you wouldn’t be the first couple to make money a major part of their [wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry). \n\nIn fact, gifting money in lieu of gifts for weddings isn't a new concept. It's common at Indian, Italian, Jewish, Muslim, and Chinese weddings. However, the cash registry trend is still technically newer (but seriously gaining popularity) in America. It started with honeymoon funds and has since grown to accommodate all of a new couple’s wants and needs—*literally*. Onboard? Here's why you should have a [wedding cash fund](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds)—and how to use it. \n\n## How to Use Your Wedding Cash Fund\n\n### Honeymoon Expenses\n\nAs we said, this concept really picked up steam thanks to the honeymoon fund. This can cover everything from your airfare and your lodging to your meals and excursions. Break these funds down into a few different categories to make it easy for guests to contribute to your specific needs. It’s even easier if you have an idea of the activities you and your spouse want to do during your honeymoon. \n\n__Honeymoon Cash fund ideas: __\n1. “Honeymoon Round Trip Airfare”\n2. “Day Trip to Amsterdam for Two”\n3. “Chef-Hosted Sushi Dinner for Two”\n4. “Snorkeling Lessons for Two”\n\n### [New Home Fund](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/to-dos-after-you-get-engaged) or Home Renovations \n\nYour guests will be happy to help pay for an eventual new home or help make your current home one that you love. Plus, many of them already probably know how expensive home care can be. \n\n__New Home Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Kitchen Remodel Expenses”\n2. “Upgrade to Hardwood Floors”\n3. “New Kitchen Appliances” \n4. “New Entertainment System”\n5. “New Washer and Dryer”\n6. “New Window Replacements”\n7. “Monthly Landscaping Costs”\n\n### New Car Fund\n\nIf you and your partner already know that buying a new family car is part of your [long-term planning](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-plan-a-wedding-on-a-budget), ask for a cushion to get you started on saving.\n\n### New Pet Fund\n\nWhether you want a puppy, kitten, or something more exotic, pets don’t come—or stay—cheap. \n\n__New Pet Cash fund ideas: __\n1. “New Puppy Fund”\n2. “Veterinary Expenses”\n3. “Year Supply of Cat Food”\n4. “Dog Treats Monthly Subscription Box”\n\n### Hobbies and Culture\n\nYou may have a hobby that you already love to do together as a couple or you may be looking to try something new. Use your cash funds to help support the cost of your new ventures or your old favorites. \n\n__Hobby and Cultural Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Cooking Classes for Two”\n2. “Weekly Dance Lessons”\n3. “New Camping Gear”\n4. “Monthly Yoga Membership Fees”\n5. “Museum Membership”\n\n### Romantic Ventures\n\nThe love doesn’t stop once the wedding is over. Ask for cash to keep your weeks full of events to spend quality time together. \n\n__Romantic Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Date Night Fund”\n2. “Wine Tasting for Two”\n3. “Concert Tickets for Two”\n4. “MLB Season Tickets”\n5. “Monthly Couples Massage”\n6. \"Broadway Tickets for Two\"\n\n### Subscription Services\n\nMake cash funds to cover all those monthly fees for anything from hobbies to streaming services. \n\n__Subscription Services Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Beer of the Month Club”\n2. “Book of the Month Club”\n3. “Netflix Subscription”\n4. \"Monthly Snack Box\"\n\n### Collections\n\nBuild upon established collections or finally become the collector of your dreams with a cash fund dedicated to your favorite things to save. \n\n__Collection Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Wine Collection”\n2. “Art Collection”\n3. “First Edition Book Collection”\n\n### Pre-Wedding Appointments\n\nYes, you can even ask for money to cover any beauty or grooming appointments ahead of your wedding. Use these funds as bonding and relaxation time with your soon-to-be-spouse. \n\n__Pre-wedding Appointment Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Wedding Mani & Pedi”\n2. “Couples Facial”\n3. “Couples Acupuncture”\n4. “Wedding Hot Shave”\n5. “Private Trainer Appointments”\n\n### Wedding Vendor Fee\n\nThis one may feel a little less couth than other expenses, but anyone who’s thrown a wedding knows just how expensive they can become. If you feel comfortable, ask your guests to help you cover any of your wedding expenses or services. \n\n__Wedding Vendor Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Wedding Photographer”\n2. “Wedding Venue Fund”\n3. “New Custom Tuxedo”\n4. “Dream Wedding Heels”\n5. “Custom Wedding Centerpieces”\n\n### Charity\n\nUsing your wedding registry cash fund as a way to give back to those in need is a popular and wonderful route to take. You can collect money to donate to a particular charity (or charities) of your choice. Your guests will be more than happy to know their money is going to support the causes dear to you. \n\n__Charity Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “ASPCA Donation”\n2. “Support for NAACP Fund”\n3. “GLAAD Fund”\n4. “United Way Donation”\n\n### Investing\n\nYour cash funds don’t need to be attached to physical gifts or experiences—you can also direct your money to future financial goals. Use your cash funds to help set you and your partner up for long-term success. \n\n__Investment Cash fund ideas:__\n1. “Our First Joint Bank Account”\n2. “[Our First Joint Investment Account](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-set-your-wedding-budget)”\n3. “Refinancing Our Student Loans”\n\nThe point is that you can *literally* use your cash funds however you and your partner decide. It’s essentially fundraising but for your life—accept those donations! Zola makes it easy to customize your cash funds just about any way you want. Don’t feel weird about requesting money. Weddings, experiences, and life are all expensive. Your guests will be happy to support your new life together however they can.\n\n### Why should I have a wedding cash fund?\nWedding cash funds are a great option for anyone but they’re especially beneficial for couples in the following situations:\n\n- You and your fiancee [already live together](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-create-a-registry-if-you-already-live-together) and have most of the home and decor items you need or want.\n- You live in a small space—with no plans to expand soon—and simply don’t have the room for a lot of physical gifts.\n- You have an ambitious business plan, project, or new hobby that you want to invest in.\n- You want to make a large impact by donating funds to a charity of your choice.\n- You simply want to raise money for your honeymoon or new life together.\n\n### I still feel strange asking for money as a wedding gift.\nThat’s super normal. The cash fund wedding gift trend is gaining in popularity, but it’s still a relatively new concept, especially for older wedding guests. That said, there’s no shame in the cash registry game—you should feel good asking for the gifts that work best for your lifestyle. If you’re still feeling a little off about it, here are some cash fund etiquette tips.\n\n- __Make cash an option, not a mandatory gift.__ And by that we mean, pair your cash fund with a traditional wedding registry. Create a standard registry filled with more traditional home, decor, and travel items—even if it’s just a few things. Then, add a few cash fund options to round it out. __With Zola, you can easily blend your physical gifts and your cash fund gifts into one easy-to-use registry.__ \n- __Consider all budget sizes.__ One of the best things about traditional registries is that they typically include large- and small-ticket items. This is ideal because it allows guests the freedom to really give what they can. So, when you’re creating your wedding cash fund, be cognizant of this. Incorporate both expensive items and experiences (honeymoon airfare) and items that fall in line with standard registry gift prices (cooking class). \n- __Create fixed amounts for your cash funds.__ An easy way to account for the above is to divide your cash funds into set amounts that multiple guests can purchase. __With Zola, you can easily divide up a higher-end gift to create a handful of smaller more affordable gifts.__ For example, if you have a cash fund for a new puppy estimated at around $500, you can ask for five fixed amounts of $100 instead of the lump sum. This makes your cash fund registry more [accessible for all of your guests](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-you-need-to-know-about-group-gifting).\n- __Tell your guests upfront.__ Be sure to include links to your honeymoon fund or other wedding cash funds on your wedding website and consider shouting it out on your wedding invitations too (the same way you might mention a standard registry). On your wedding website, you can include a few sentences about why you chose a cash registry that may help wedding guests better understand your thinking. For example, you want to raise money for an emergency fund, you have educational or personal loans to pay off, or you just want to prioritize a dream honeymoon.\n\n### OK, I’m in. How should I use my cash gift?\nThe beauty of cash funds is that they’re yours to do with whatever you please. In theory, you could just make one large fund without any decided upon purpose. However, your wedding guests probably prefer to have a tangible idea of where their money is going (again, cash funds are still a newer concept for many). So, it’s nice to give your monetary gifts some direction. Here are just some wedding fund ideas on how to use your cash gifts.","tag":"How-To ","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_InvitesPaper"}},"cta":{"copy":"Add Cash Funds To Your Registry","url":"https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds"},"stickyCta":{"copy":"Explore Wedding Paper","url":"https://www.zola.com/wedding-planning/invitations/shop"},"updatedAt":"2024-02-05T16:56:47.902Z"}],"name":"Wedding registry basics","slug":"wedding-registry-basics","description":"What is a wedding registry?

The question we get most often is, “How much should I spend on a wedding gift?” \n\nThe answer varies depending on a few factors, such as how well you know the couple and how many different wedding events you’re invited to. Some of you may even be wondering if you need to purchase a wedding gift at all. Read on for our complete guide on wedding gift etiquette.\n\n## How much should you spend on a wedding gift? \n\nThese days, where cost-per-plate (explained below) does not factor into your choice of a wedding gift, exactly how much you should spend on a [wedding gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-expensive-is-too-expensive-for-my-registry) depends on various factors. \n\nHere are some general guidelines to follow:\n\n- The average wedding gift amount ranges from $100 to $200, depending on how close you are to the couple. But more importantly, choosing a wedding gift isn’t about the price tag—it’s about giving the couple a special acknowledgment, from you to them, of this happy moment that they will use throughout their new life together.\n- Try to [find a gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-wedding-guests-need-to-know-about-gift-giving-right-now) that has both special significance to you and fits within what you can comfortably spend.\n- Most couples register for gifts at a range of prices, so while big-ticket items might be exciting, couples also want smaller gifts that hold just as much meaning, purpose, or joy in their daily lives.\n\nIf you’re still itching for dollar amount suggestions, follow these very loose guidelines for how much to spend on wedding gifts:\n\n- If you’re a coworker, acquaintance, or distant relative: $75-$100\n- If you’re a friend or relative: $100-$150\n- If you’re a close friend, immediate family, or part of the wedding party: $150-$200+\n- If you received a +1 on your invitation: 1.5-2x more on the gift\n\n## What’s the “cover your plate” rule? \n\nOnce upon a time, it was considered good etiquette to purchase a wedding gift with a price tag comparable to the cost per plate (i.e., your meal) at the reception. Although it’s outdated, this sneaky piece of advice still gets passed around by wedding attendees like wedding gospel.\n\nHere’s why you should leave it behind:\n\n- Following this guideline means having to ask around (or ask the couple directly) how much they’re spending per plate at their wedding, which is a pretty uncomfortable question to circulate.\n- It implies that you, as a guest, must spend a certain amount on a wedding gift regardless of your budget (which isn’t true).\n- Attending someone’s wedding isn’t a food-for-gift exchange. It’s about celebration and coming together.\n- This practice indicates to the couple that you’re only interested how much to spend on a wedding gift while giving them a gift that matches their wedding catering budget.\n\n![Wedding Card and Gift Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5glq0I26rQAjxyOfjH5813/8ce9ccd8d67313f238bd760ad3251819/Wedding_Card_and_Gift_Table.jpg) Photo by [Cameron & Madalyn](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/cameron-madalyn)\n\n## 10 popular questions wedding guests ask about gifts \n\n### 1. Is it OK to give a cash wedding gift?\n\nCash gifts are not only totally acceptable, they’re becoming increasingly requested by modern couples who are getting married later in life and have already outfitted their homes. If the couple is using Zola, they may have even registered for [cash funds](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds) to help them save for the honeymoon, a new home, a puppy, or even a lifetime supply of avocados (yes, it happened). \n\nHowever, there are a few best practices you should follow when contributing to a cash fund and wondering how much money to give as cash wedding gifts:\n\n- Make sure you contribute an appropriate wedding gift amount through the [couple’s registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) if their list provides that option.\n- If you write a check, mail it before the wedding day. Giving cash or checks on the big day isn’t necessarily wrong, but it does risk being lost in the chaos of the day.\n- If writing a check as a wedding gift, make sure to write it out to one person and use pre-married names. Couples don’t always share joint accounts or change their names after the nuptials, which can lead to the bank refusing to accept the funds.\n\n### 2. Should I contribute to a honeymoon fund as a gift?\n\nThose from former generations may consider a [honeymoon fund](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds) an oddity, but if the couple has one, by any means, utilize it. If you’re wondering, “What is a good wedding gift?” adding a massage, helping pay for a hotel, or contributing to the overall honeymoon fund can be a lifesaver.\n\n### 3. Is it OK to give a group wedding gift?\n\nYes! If you want to give the couple a big ticket item you can’t afford on your own, it’s a great idea to go in on a [group gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/everything-you-need-to-know-about-group-gifting) with other guests. Zola’s group gifting feature can make this process extremely easy. \n\nTwo pieces of advice here:\n\n- Make sure that everyone contributes the same wedding gift amount they would have spent on smaller gifts purchased on their own. When wondering how much to spend on wedding gifts, don’t skimp as a group.\n- If you are attending a wedding as a large family, it’s a good rule of thumb that all adults (or each household) give their own gift.\n\n![Outdoor Wedding Gift Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/2iXLj665Jm4EC0B7CWzKll/1657930ea25025e4f6f905e8b8f7ea15/Outdoor_Wedding_Gift_Table.jpg) Photo by [Carson Lillard Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/carson-lillard-photography)","body2":"### 4. Can I buy wedding gifts that aren’t on the wedding registry?\n\nAs wedding gift etiquette, it’s always best to purchase a gift on the couple’s wedding registry. That way, you can ensure they like (and need) the item. \n\nIf all of their registry items have been purchased by the time you get around to buying a gift, you have a few options:\n\n1. Ask the couple if there’s anything else their hearts desire.\n2. Contribute to a cash fund (or give them cash or a check directly).\n3. Opt for an off-registry gift you’re 100% confident they’ll love. If you go with this option, make sure to get a gift receipt so that the couple can easily return duplicate or damaged items without hassle.\n\n### 5. Do I need to buy a gift if I can’t attend the wedding?\n\nIn short, yes. But there is some flexibility here depending on how well you know the couple and your personal financial situation. If you’re close friends, it’s best to send a gift and a personalized note with warm wishes. Your mom’s boss’s daughter that you’ve never met? While it’s always polite to send a gift if you can, in impersonal circumstances, you’re less on the hook.\n\n### 6. Should I buy a gift for a destination wedding?\n\nYes again. However, the travel and lodging costs that come with a destination wedding can put a big strain on your budget. It’s likely that the happy couple views your presence as a gift in itself, but if you want to get technical about it, purchasing a wedding gift is proper, even in the case of a [destination wedding](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/destination-wedding-checklist). \n\nIf you’re shelling out quite a bit to attend the wedding, then feel free to spend less than you typically would for a local celebration. With a [destination wedding](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/cut-destination-wedding-costs), there is a little leeway with how much cash to give for a wedding present.\n\n### 7. What is gifting wedding etiquette for a plus-one?\n\nFirst of all, be sure that [your plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/should-my-plus-one-sign-the-wedding-card) is cleared with the couple, either via the address on the invitation or by chatting with the couple beforehand. A surprise guest can really be a burden if they aren’t accounted for in the catering, seating arrangement, and other plans. That being said, when giving a gift, it’s best to double the amount you’d normally spend on the gift, therefore accounting for a present from both you and your guest.\n\n![Indoor Wedding Gift Card Table](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/6HW7vQWB23do9IdthbhVJa/039578bb7d7d460a05bb433657cfd51f/Indoor_Wedding_Gift_Card_Table.jpg) Photo by [Kristen Hope Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/kristen-hope-photography)\n\n### 8. Do I need to buy a gift for every wedding event that I’m invited to?\n\nYes. However, we know it can cause anxiety over how much to spend on a wedding gift. Buying this many gifts can be tough. If you are invited to the [engagement party](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/who-hosts-an-engagement-party), shower, and wedding, we suggest planning ahead and setting a [budget for gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/do-i-have-to-buy-a-wedding-shower-gift-and-a-wedding-gift) in advance. To make things easier on your wallet, follow the 20-20-60 rule, which dictates that you spread out your spending like so:\n\n- 20% on the engagement gift\n- 20% on the bridal shower\n- 60% on the wedding\n\nBreaking down the expenses and knowing how much to give as a wedding gift percentage-wise can be a big help. \n\n### 9. Should I ship my wedding gift or bring it with me?\n\nFollow these rules to determine if you should physically bring a gift with you to any wedding-related festivities:\n\n- If you attend a shower, engagement party, or purchase a gift that isn’t on the registry, take the wrapped gift along with you to the event.\n- If you bought a gift on a registry or are giving cash/check, gifts should be mailed to the couple before the big day.\n\n__Zola perk:__ Couples with a [Zola registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry) have the option to ship your gift whenever is convenient for them. Whether that’s before the wedding, after they return from the honeymoon, or months later. Spreading out the gifts can alleviate some of the cost of how much to spend on a wedding gift.\n\n### 10. How late can I give a wedding gift?\n\nSpeaking of the timeline, some say you have up to a year to purchase a wedding gift. However, the best practice is always to buy and send gifts before the wedding day or within 3 months of the nuptials. Any longer, and you’re likely to forget. \n\nPlus, it’s more convenient for the couple to manage receiving gifts (and writing thank you notes) sooner rather than later. When wondering how much do you give for a wedding gift, waiting until after the big day can help. \n\n![Card Table at Wedding](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/4QEWoeiNaWA9Yp1ATKoewy/481be8bf09176e4d5b0466f36dffa01f/Card_Table_at_Wedding.jpg) Photo by [Lexi Wyatt Photography](https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/lexi-wyatt-photography)\n\n## Wedding gift amount FAQs \n### What can I do in place of a gift on the big day?\n\nIf finances are truly a hardship, don’t skip the special day due to gift-giving. The couple invited you and wants you to be a part and not stress over how much money to give at a wedding. That being said, if you can’t budget for a gift, it’s time to get creative! \n\nIf you know the couple well, think about any services you could offer to help them out. Here are a few examples (hint: these also make fun [last-minute wedding gift ideas](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/21-last-minute-wedding-gifts)):\n\n- __Have a beautiful garden?__ Gift the couple a monthly arrangement of fresh-cut flowers from your own garden during the peak season.\n- __Are you handy?__ Offer to help the couple get their new home ready. Hang photos, help paint rooms, install sound systems, and change light fixtures. Whatever is within your skill set works and will help them save instead of hiring someone.\n- __Love animals?__ If the couple has pets, offer pet-sitting services during their honeymoon or annual family vacation. Go the extra mile and spend extra time with their feathered, fur, or fish babies while they’re out of town.\n\n### Is it ever appropriate to ask the couple how much to spend on a wedding gift?\n\nUnless you’re especially close to the couple—say, a sibling or BFF—avoid this question and take cues in other ways. Look at their registry and see what they have listed. Also, follow the general rules given above. The couple has so many things to plan for their big day, and they shouldn’t be asked what amount to spend on them. \n\n### So, how much should I spend on a wedding gift?\nUltimately, how much to give for a wedding gift is up to you—and how well you know the couple. Typically something in the $100-$200 range is appropriate (per person). If that's a hardship, consider whether the couple would rather have you there to celebrate and the amount of money isn't a factor. \n\nWhether you’re invited to everything from the engagement party and bach parties to simply attending the wedding, knowing how much to spend on a wedding gift can prove daunting. \n\nRest assured that the couple wants you there to celebrate. Although you should give them a gift, it’s not their focus, so give graciously and with joy.

Take [plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-word-wedding-invitations) etiquette, for example. Whether you’re the couple on the inviting end or on the receiving end of an invitation, it can be tricky to know what’s considered appropriate when it comes to plus-ones. For that reason, we’ve compiled our best tips and etiquette for both engaged couples and guests regarding plus-ones. If you aren’t sure of the standard protocol, read on.\n\n## Plus-One Etiquette for the Couple\nWhile there aren’t any hard and fast plus-one rules, wedding plus-one etiquette can ensure that everything runs smoothly for you and your guest. Keep some best practices in mind, such as:\n\n### Who should get a plus-one?\nWhile compiling your guest list, you might begin to go back-and-forth on who should get a plus one. Deciding on your own can be a daunting task. To ease any stress and resolve confusion, familiarize yourself with who traditionally is allowed a plus-one at a wedding.\n\n- Wedding guests who are __married, engaged, and living together__ traditionally receive a plus-one. That being said, “living together” is interchangeable for those in serious and long-term relationships. \n\n- __Members of the wedding party__ should receive a plus-one. Allowing your bridesmaids and groomsmen to bring their significant others is a show of appreciation for their commitment and support throughout your engagement and wedding.\n\n- That being said, couples may be willing to extend a plus-one to guests in __specific situations__. For example, if only a few single people are invited and would greatly benefit from having a date at their side. Or, your best friend is traveling across the country to attend and doesn’t know anyone outside of the couple.\n\n### Who shouldn’t get a plus-one.\nThough plus-ones can be a comfort to guests and gesture of appreciation, not everyone can or should have one. Additional guests mean additional costs (more on that below) and, really, not every guest needs one. Below are individuals you shouldn’t feel pressured to allow an additional guest on your big day.\n\n- __Single guests who are casually dating.__ Traditional etiquette also says that, if someone hasn’t been in a relationship for over a year, allowing them to bring their partner isn’t a priority. That being said, consider special circumstances the ones mentioned above, here. If you have the budget to extend an invite to your close friend’s significant other of ten months, consider doing so. Use your best discretion.\n\n- __Single people who will know other guests.__ Siblings, cousins, close friends, and others who aren’t in a serious relationship, but will know a decent amount of other guests, don’t need a plus-one. Because they’re close to or familiar with other attendees, they’re sure to be comfortable and have a good time.\n\n- __Coworkers.__ This is often the case, because, if one coworker is allowed to bring a guests, all of them should be able to. This can quickly drive up costs and your guest count. That being said, if you’re close with your boss and invite them, it’s good etiquette to offer them a plus-one.\n\n![INLINE ChrisKoeppenPhotography 1080x720 James&Lily](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/672dzBFg87BhXxOA8I3zXF/56681f13b955c932a401e6600b91d061/INLINE_ChrisKoeppenPhotography_1080x720_James_Lily.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Chris Koeppen Photography\n\n### How can a plus-one affect the cost of the wedding?\nOne of the more meticulous aspects of wedding planning is deciding on and sticking to a wedding budget. And, simply put, the number of guests in attendance can drastically effect your bottom line. That’s because, most often, venues and other vendors (notably, caterers and bartenders) will charge you per-person. A plus-one means another favor, plate of food, several drinks, and a literal seat at the table, adding to your set-up, catering, and bar expenses, at least. This makes offering someone a plus-one incredibly generous, since you’ll be footing the bill for their attendance.\n\n## Tips for making a plus-one invitation list\nPutting together your [wedding invitations](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-to-word-wedding-invitations-with-no-plus-one) and deciding on invited guest can be quite the task, in and of itself. Add the prospect of plus-ones and it’s easy to become overwhelmed. To avoid much of the stress and ensure you’re following good etiquette, consider these tips.\n\n- __Know (and use) every plus-one’s name.__ If you know the specific guest someone is going to bring, look up or confirm the spelling of their name (as well as their title, if applicable). This way, it’ll be spelled and they’ll be addressed correctly on any save the dates, invitations, and seating signage or escort cards. Plus, it looks much more formal than “guest.”\n\n- __Include their name on the RSVP response card.__ Again, if a specific individual is expected to be an additional guest, provide their name on the RSVP cards (or in your online RSVP system). This will prevent guests from extended the invitation to someone else or trying to bring multiple people.\n\n- __Know and stick to your guest list limit.__ Whether your venue or budget only allows for a certain amount of people, be aware of or figure that number out and stick to it. Be realistic, even if it means not giving out many plus-ones—or any at all. Better to be safe than have to retract anyone’s plus-one due to inviting too many people.\n\n## Plus-One Etiquette for Guests\nGuests, too, should be respectful of the engaged couple and aware of proper plus-one etiquette, such as:\n\n### If your invitation doesn’t list a plus-one, you can’t bring a guest.\n\nThis may seem obvious, but many guests have been tempted or even gone through with [asking the couple if they can still bring a plus-one](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/is-it-ever-ok-to-ask-for-a-1-to-a-wedding). While some cases may be for good reason, most often this can be stressful and awkward for both you and the engaged couple. Simply put, if your invitation only lists your name, you’re being invited alone. You can’t bring an added guest—and shouldn’t push for one, either. Don’t try to RSVP with a plus-one and definitely don’t show up with one on the day of.\n\n### Bring a date, unless a friend is okayed.\nTypically speaking, a plus-one is a formal date. Having one doesn’t often mean that you can bring anyone of your choosing. If you were given a plus-one, but don’t have a date to bring, don’t assume it’s okay to substitute with a friend. Of course, you can always reach out to the couple and ask if doing so is alright. Sometimes, they won’t mind. Others, however, will find it rude. If you feel strange asking, err on the side of caution and attend alone.\n\n### If you do get a plus-one, RSVP with care.\nRSVPing seems simple enough, but has its own set of etiquette when it comes to plus-ones. If you were generously given a plus one, keep the following in mind when it comes to sending in your RSVP.\n\n- If your guest was named on your invitation, __don’t substitute them with someone else__. They are your plus-one and aren’t exchangeable. If they can’t attend, RSVP for yourself alone.\n\n- If you were given a non-specific plus-one, __use their name when submitting your RSVP__, whether that’s online or via RSVP card. It’s only polite to let the couple know ahead of time who you plan on bringing.\n\n- Don’t RSVP with a plus-one unless __you’re certain they can and will attend__. If you or they aren’t sure, play it save and RSVP for only yourself.\n\n- Don’t RSVP with a plus-one under the assumption that you’ll find someone. The couple of hosts of the wedding pay for each individual that’s said to be coming to the wedding. If you RSVP with a plus-one and end up not bringing someone, the money that went towards their plate is wasted.\n\n### Give a gift as a couple.\nGenerally, wedding gifts are given as part of a unit, whether that unit is a family of four or a couple. In other words, no, your plus-one doesn’t have to purchase his or her own gift. It’s perfectly acceptable to purchase one gift from the two of you.\n\nIt’s also acceptable for your date to contribute to the gift in some way. However, like most wedding guidelines, this isn’t a hard and fast rule. It depends on how close your date is to the happy couple.\n\nIf your cousin is getting married, and your date has literally never met him, consider picking up the full cost of the gift yourself. If your date has met the bride here and there, he or she may offer to contribute or split the cost with you in some way. Ultimately, if your date is a near stranger to the couple getting married, you may want to just plan on taking care of the gift yourself. Since your date is coming as your guest, it’s a thoughtful gesture.\n\n![INLINE EicharPhotography 1080x720 Monica&Emir](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/5ql2boFrsVdzStUhfzhgxr/86b81fd5fbb25a1343fb14f66b71d637/INLINE_EicharPhotography_1080x720_Monica_Emir.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Eichar Photography\n\n### Give a gift that reflects that you have a guest.\nGenerally, yes. However, you’re not obligated to spend a certain amount of money on the gift, and you’re definitely not required to spend enough to “[cover your plate](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift).” (This is the wedding etiquette myth that won’t die!)\n\nA good rule of thumb is to double whatever you were planning on spending if you’re bringing a date. For example, if you’re comfortable spending $75 when you fly solo, plan on spending around $150 if you’re inviting a plus-one.\n\nThink about your budget and what you can reasonably spend, but don’t sweat the dollar signs too much. The most important thing to remember is that you’re giving a gift because you love the couple.\n\n### Have your plus-one sign the card if...\nThere are a couple of instances when your date should always sign the card, including when:\n\n- __He or she is your long-term partner__—and you both know the couple. Perhaps you’re not married, but you’ve dated or lived together for several years. This one’s a no-brainer. Both your names should be on the card, even if one or both of the couple is more “your friend” (or family) than your partner’s.\n\n- __You’ve been dating for at least a year__—and your partner has met the couple at least a handful of times. Maybe your plus-one doesn’t know your childhood bestie or sorority sister or cousin as well as you do, but if the two of you have been together seriously for at least a year and the soon-to-be-married couple has met your partner at least three times, put his or her name down.\n\n- __You’re bringing a family member who knows the couple well__. For example, you’re bringing your mom or sister as your date to your old neighbor’s nuptials.\n\n### Don’t have your plus-one sign the card if...\nLikewise, there are a few instances in which your date doesn’t need to sign the card, including when:\n\n- __Your relationship is brand new__—or you’ve only been on a few dates together before the wedding\n\n- __He or she has never met the soon-to-be-married couple__\n\n- __You’re bringing a friend who doesn’t know the couple__\n\nWhat if your relationship to your plus-one doesn’t fit neatly into one of the above categories? First of all, don’t fret. Feel free to use your best judgment: If your plus-one and the couple are complete strangers who couldn’t pick each other out in a crowd, you can leave his or her name off. If you think it might hurt your plus-one’s feelings if he or she is excluded from the card? Go ahead and sign for the both of you. Chances are, the married couple won’t be offended by your plus-one’s good wishes. In fact, they’ll probably appreciate them!\n\nAt the end of the day, don’t let traditional etiquette stress you out too much. If you’re the engaged couple, make the decisions you think are best for your wedding day (including your space and budget). If you’re the guest, do your best to abide by etiquette and the couple’s wishes. If there’s any confusion, don’t hesitate to start a well-intentioned conversation.\n","tag":"Advice","widget1":{"marketingModule":{"tag":"EA_Masterbrand"}},"nextUp":[{"excerpt":"It's a common question and the answer isn't always straightforward.

Someone you love is getting married and they want you there to celebrate. If you’re particularly close with the couple, you may get a few more invitations along the way to various pre-wedding events, including the wedding shower. You’re probably prepared to buy a wedding gift off the couple’s registry, but what about a [wedding shower gift](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/a-guide-to-bridal-showers)? You might be wondering if you even need to buy both. Gift etiquette isn’t always straightforward. Let’s break it down.\n\n## Do I need to buy a gift for the shower and the wedding?\n__In short: Yes.__ We definitely recommend purchasing a gift for both the wedding and the wedding shower. That’s the simplest way to layout the basic gift etiquette. However, there are a few stipulations such as price, size, and more that come with that advice.\n\n![INLINE PhotobyStarNoirPhotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/1AJjZuw8TOa2IAOwj2OlgJ/ee2177f21d8f17f9cdaeb2905ebe973d/INLINE_PhotobyStarNoirPhotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Star Noir Photography\n\n### Wedding Shower Gifts vs. Wedding Gifts \nNot all gifts are created equal—or at least they don’t have to present as if they are. Yes, you should purchase both a wedding gift and a wedding shower gift, but they don’t have to be of equal value. In fact, you can (and should) feel free to spend less on a shower gift than you do on a wedding present.\n\nTraditional wedding etiquette says that your wedding gift should [cover the cost of your meal and drinks](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/how-much-to-spend-on-a-wedding-gift) at the wedding—which can fall somewhere between $50 and $200. It’s a big range, but all weddings are different so you’ll know best where your gift should fit into that. Typically, you’ll select something from the couple’s registry anyway, which makes the whole wedding gift situation pretty straightforward.\n\nAs far as a wedding shower gift goes, the same rules do not apply. Giving a gift in the $25-$75 price range is completely acceptable. If it’s your best friend since childhood’s shower and you want to spoil her/him, by all means, go for it. Just know that you don’t have to.\n\n### Should I buy the wedding shower gifts and wedding gifts off the registry?\nSimply put: You should buy your wedding gift off the [couple’s wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry). These are the gifts they specifically chose because they want or need them. So, definitely choose from there for the wedding gift. \n\nAdditionally, you can buy the wedding shower gift from that same registry. And why wouldn’t you? Here’s a [selection of gifts](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/essentials-to-put-on-your-registry) that you know the couple will be happy to receive. If you can find something in your budget, it’s a win-win. \n\nIf you’re particularly close with the host or couple (or you can’t find anything on the registry within your budget), it’s OK to stray from the registry. Your wedding shower gift can be a great opportunity to give something a little more sentimental and personal. Is the bride a bit of a product junkie? Get her a monogrammed makeup bag to hold her wedding day makeup. Does the couple love to try new wines? Try a wine subscription box. Is a dog or cat the center of their lives? Gift a custom pet portrait. \n\nThe point is if you decide to shop for your own wedding shower gift, make sure it’s something he or she will love.\n\n![INLINE PhotobyProcopioPhotography](//images.ctfassets.net/77l22z9el0aa/76I3hdQXt8pAeZwyi9vlnS/4feffa18c209d68376cb8b6bab6bb73c/INLINE_PhotobyProcopioPhotography.jpg)\n*Photo Credit* // Procopio Photography\n\n### Should I show up with my gifts or send them directly? \nThe etiquette fun continues! When it comes to delivery, wedding shower gifts and wedding gifts also have a different set of rules.\n\n- __For wedding gifts__, it probably makes more sense to send your gift directly to the couple via their registry. There are a few reasons for this. First, the couple has a lot going on. Tracking and transporting their gifts isn’t a task you necessarily want to contribute to. Also, couples with Zola wedding registries can actually choose when their wedding gifts are shipped to them. This control allows couples the freedom to tackle their wedding gifts (and thank you notes!) when they’re ready. \n\n- __For a wedding shower__, it’s up to you! Typically, these showers have gift-opening moments so, if you’d prefer to be involved in that, definitely show up gift in hand.\n\nOf course, there are exceptions. If the shower is taking place in a city where the host or couple doesn’t currently live (a hometown, for example), he or she may ask that any shower gifts be sent to a certain address to avoid traveling with them. If the couple is hosting a super intimate wedding, you may, in that case, prefer to show up with your physical gift instead of sending it directly. \n\nYou’ll know what’s best for each individual situation. Generally, though, plan to arrive at the wedding shower with your gift and plan to send your wedding gift in the mail.\n\nThe bottom line: Get both gifts. You don’t need to break the bank in order to give something the couple will truly appreciate.

Some guests can afford to splurge on lavish gifts for the newlyweds, while others may be a bit more conservative in choosing the best wedding gift within their budget for the happy couple. Keep this in mind when it comes to adding items to your __[wedding registry](https://www.zola.com/wedding-registry)__. \n\nWhen creating a registry for your wedding day—and your life as a married couple—we always recommend adding smaller- and larger-ticket items so there's something for all budgets. There's no need to skip expensive gifts, though. Just make it a group gift! From gift ideas for your new home to unique wedding gift experiences for your [honeymoon](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/honeymoon-fund-101) and beyond, here's how it works—and why you should do it.\n\n## What Is Group Gifting?\nGroup gifting is a win-win situation for the couple and the guest. It allows the couple to choose whatever great wedding gifts they want, in whatever price range they want. At the same time, the guests stay in their budget, contributing what they wish to an extra special wedding present. We handle all the logistics for your guests so there’s no unnecessary back and forth…and ensure you receive the most perfect wedding gifts.\n\n## Why Should I Use Group Gifting?\nWell, like we said, it makes your registry experience completely accessible to all budget levels. Plus, it's a Zola secret that making an expensive item a group gift actually increases your chances of receiving that gift. Guests are less likely to simply skip over it if they can't afford the entire thing.\n\n## What Counts As A Group Gift?\nAnything you want! Really, anything. At Zola we offer an extremely wide range of registry items—from expensive barware to whole furniture pieces to keepsakes and experiences you'll remember forever. Usually group gifts are on the more expensive end but, with your Zola registry, you can make anything a group gift.\n\n## Do Guests Have To Go In On A Group Gift Together?\nNope! You can get that swanky bar cart from your coworker, great aunt, and friend from high school without any stress or coordination on their part (or yours, of course). We'll keep track of who contributed to what, though, so you can be sure to thank everyone when it's time.\n\n## How Do I Do It?\nWhen you register at Zola, you can turn on the group gifting feature for any item on your registry. This includes big-ticket items for the home, newlywed cash funds, and even charity funds. Just select group gifting as you're adding the item to let your friends and family know the deal.\n\n## 26 Best Group Wedding Gift Ideas for Your Registry!\nNow that you've decided to use our group gifting feature, we figured we'd offer some recommendations and [wedding gift ideas for your registry](https://www.zola.com/expert-advice/wedding-registry-ideas). How you choose to employ group gifting is entirely up to you! Go big or go home on big-ticket items or set up a __[fund](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds)__ for the charity of your choice or your __[honeymoon](https://www.zola.com/shop/honeymoon-cash-funds)__. Here are a few fun physical items that work well as group gifts.\n\n### 1.

Premium Blender\nIf you're still using the same blender you had in your first post-college apartment, you're definitely due for an upgrade—and your registry is the perfect opportunity to add a professional-level blender to your kitchen.
