How many gifts should we add to our registry?

Great question. The short answer—whatever feels comfortable.

The long answer? Guests love seeing options on your registry so that they can find a gift in their budget and, sometimes, a gift with a personal connection to you two. For helpful recommendations, make sure you keep your wedding details updated and we'll tell you the exact number of gifts and cash funds we think you should add based on our experience. It’s always more than you think, but don’t worry about appearing greedy. Guests will appreciate being able to choose from a variety!

If you need inspiration, take a look at “Registries We Love” to see how other couples have filled their registries. We also add new arrivals weekly and when in doubt, contact us. We’re happy to help!
