The Ultimate Wedding Registry Checklist

The Ultimate Wedding Registry Checklist

Registry shopping for starting a new life with your partner has got to be one of the best parts of the wedding process. After all, you’ve hand-selected everything you want for your dream home starting from your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and beyond.

Take the time with your partner to go through all the things that will build up your first home together. Sometimes registering can get a bit overwhelming but have no fear, we have the list of all the essential bridal shower registry gifts you must include!

What Should You Put on a Bridal Shower Registry?

Fill a bridal shower registry with smaller everyday pieces: cookware, dinnerware, glassware, and bath and bedroom linens, plus a few upgrades like barware or candles. Keep most items between $25 and $100, and always include a cash or honeymoon fund.

And if you would rather have the whole list hand-selected for you, our Gift Concierge can curate your registry, from the everyday essentials to the dream pieces.

The Complete Wedding Registry Checklist (Save or Print This)

Use this wedding registry checklist as your room-by-room starting point, then add, swap and personalise until it reflects the home you are building together. Save or print it, tick off what you already own, and register for the rest.

Kitchen & Dining

  • Cookware set: pots, pans and a Dutch oven
  • Chef's knives and a knife block
  • Everyday and formal dinnerware
  • Flatware and serveware
  • Glassware: everyday, wine and cocktail
  • Small appliances: stand mixer, blender, coffee maker

Bedroom & Bath

  • Quality sheet sets and a duvet
  • Bath and hand-towel sets
  • Robes and a bath mat

Living & Entertaining

  • Barware and a cocktail set
  • Table linens and candles
  • Board games or a coffee-table book collection

Experiences & Cash Funds

  • Honeymoon fund contributions
  • A cooking class or wine tasting for two
  • A home-improvement or first-home fund

Not sure where to start? Register for a mix of everyday essentials and a few dream items, and always include a cash or honeymoon fund so guests who prefer to give money have an easy, thoughtful option.

What are some unique bridal shower registry ideas?
Look past homeware. Experiences and cash funds let guests contribute to a honeymoon, a cooking class or a first trip together. Bar and glassware sets, outdoor entertaining pieces and considered living room details also tend to be used far more often than formal china, which usually stays in the box.
How do you make a bridal shower registry?
Work through your home one room at a time rather than browsing at random, which is how couples end up with duplicates in one room and gaps in another. Use a checklist so nothing is missed, spread your choices across a range of price points so every guest can find something, and include a mix of everyday essentials, a few upgrades, and experience or cash options.
Is it common to have a bridal shower registry?
Yes, and many couples keep a single registry that covers both the shower and the wedding. Shower gifts tend to be smaller and more personal, while wedding gifts skew larger. One well organised list lets guests choose the right price point for whichever occasion they are shopping for.
