What are some must have items anyone can recommend for me to add to my registry? My fiancé and I bought a house together three years ago and already have the majority of the things we need. I have a cash fund on the knot but I keep getting family members telling me to add more things to the registry. What are some more out of the box items that I can add to my registry?
I’ve been encouraged to start a gift registry even if it’s just a small one by my family and I don’t totally disagree but my partner and I already have the “normal” registry items. We have lived together for almost 4 years and in that time we have accumulated all the household appliances and items that I’m seeing on gift registries! Would it be weird to have the registry be full of hobby based things and encourage people to do cash gifts? What are some ideas that are out of the box?

How much should I spend on a wedding gift for a couple already living together?
Is it okay to give cash as a wedding gift to a couple already living together?

My daughter is getting married this year and we’d like to throw her a shower. However, they live together and she already has her home set up. I know people still want to give them gifts for the shower and wedding but they don’t need anything. They could use money though to put towards home renovations. How could we communicate this so that it doesn’t offend anyone yet still provides guests with an option to gift if they choose to?
You could do a recipe shower where folks bring a favorite recipe. If your daughter doesn’t register, most people will probably give cash.
I wouldn't host a shower if there were no physical gifts being given. Its very odd to me to ask for cash for a shower - a shower is literally to give people things to set up their home. If there home is set up, skip the shower. If you want to have something, do a tea or a lunch with no gifts.
Hi! I really can’t think of anything. My brother in law is getting married soon but his fiancé and him are not going to be living together for a bit while he finishes medical school. What should I get them?
Edit: no registry for this one
Please help hive-mind! My high school best friend is getting married. I love her so much and want to get her and her new groom something awesome. The problem is…. Her family is extremely well off. They have everything already. Every kitchen item and every appliance you can think of, and they already have a fully paid for honeymoon. Someone already got them Kayaks.
I’m looking for creative, out of the box ideas that are meaningful if possibly, but enjoyment is key. Budget is around $300.
Any ideas? If you’re also a ‘has everything’ person what would be meaningful from your ‘less well-off’ best friend? Thank you in advance!!
My Best friend is getting married in a month! I need some inspiration for a wedding gift, something that you’ve received that is sentimental, and you love!! Nothing basic like a picture frame with name & name EST.2024. Something you’ll cherish forever!!! EDIT: there is no registry
We're trying to plan a registry but have no clue what to put on it. Most normal things on a registry we already have due to living together already or we just recently purchased. What would be some great items to register for? Im assuming I just make a "wishlist" on Amazon.
My sister in law is getting married- she’s young, Christian, marrying her high school sweetheart. Due to working overseas, I unfortunately cannot attend the wedding. I want to give a really amazing wedding gift, as in the sort of wedding gift that will make the bride cry, something really special and sentimental. But I am terrible at gifts, so I need ideas- what’s the best wedding gift you’ve been given or would love to receive?
So my friend got married over a year ago but didn’t have a ceremony. He and his wife are having another ceremony in a couple months for everyone to come to. I want to get them a wedding gift, but they don’t have a registry/have already been living together for a while and probably already have all the standard ideas. Any suggestions for gifts?
I have two close friends getting married this year. This is the first of my friends getting married! 💍They’re doing a destination wedding. They already live together so they have most of what they need at home already.
I also don’t live in my home country anymore but I’m happy to get something delivered to them after their wedding. (Should I have it delivered before / after their wedding?)
What are some ideas for something really nice as a wedding gift? I’m looking to spend around $250 (which in my home country is a pretty handsome wedding gift)
I love these friends and would love to spoil them either to something they wouldn’t buy themselves but would love to have. Or maybe some kind of experience? I could send them on a weekend away for that cost in my home country, is that a nice idea if they’re already doing a destination wedding?
My high school friend has been with her partner for 20+ years and they have a 17 year old daughter. They are getting married and have a very small wedding planned with no reception to follow. We will go out after the ceremony and celebrate. Is $100 a good gift? It’s not like they’re newlyweds just getting started, and I have no idea the protocol for this situation. Any advice, funny or otherwise would be appreciated!
