Getting engaged and planning a wedding often means that a friend or family member will offer to throw you a bridal shower, and Amazon Wedding Registry will make the gifting part easy for you and your guests.
Bridal showers stem from the old-fashioned practice of the bride needing a dowry to marry well. If the money wasn’t available or the bride’s father didn’t approve of the marriage, friends would shower the bride with gifts that would act as a dowry.
While dowries are a thing of the past, the tradition of bridal showers remain to help the bride celebrate her upcoming nuptials and build a “nest” with all of the small appliances, kitchen tools, towels, and sheets that the couple would need.
Wedding registries allow guests to easily choose gifts for bridal showers and weddings that they know the bride and groom would like to receive, and while some may still think picking out your own gifts is poor etiquette, the Emily Post Institute approves this modern convenience.
Nearly every department, big box and home good store offers wedding registries, so it can be hard to decide where to register. It’s recommended that you register at least one store located near the majority of your guests to accommodate those who would prefer to shop in-store and for last minute morning-of-the-shower purchases, as well as one “store” that offers online shopping to allow guests to ship gifts directly to you, or shop from their couches.
Popular stores for registries include Macy’s, Crate and Barrel, Target and Kohls. While all of these stores offer online shopping, brands and styles are specific and limited to each store, and shipping can add $10 to $15 unless the purchase is $75, $100 or more. Amazon wedding registry is a great option for those who love convenience. But here are some other benefits of wedding registry options with Amazon:
10% to 20% registry completion gift

How does a wedding registry work?
A wedding registry allows couples to create a list of Amazon wedding gift gifts that guests can choose from when purchasing presents for the wedding. Here’s how it works:
- Create the Registry: The couple selects items they’d like to receive, usually from a department store or an online retailer. Items can range from home goods to experiences or cash contributions.
- Share the Registry: The couple shares the registry link with guests, often via wedding invitations or a wedding website.
- Guests Browse and Purchase: Guests can browse the registry, choose an item, and purchase it, ensuring they get the couple something they truly need or want.
- Gift Tracking: Some registries allow the couple to track which items have been purchased, preventing duplicate gifts.
- Completion and Thank You: Once all items are purchased or as gifts are received, the couple can send thank-you notes to the guests.
