As you begin to plan your wedding, you may be wondering how to put together a gift list. 


There are many different ways to go about this, and it really depends on what you and your partner prefer. 




What Should You Ask Your Guests To Buy As Wedding Gifts?

If you decide to put together a wedding gift list, there are a few things to keep in mind. 


First, think about what you and your partner need. This will help you narrow down the options and choose items that you will both love and use. 


Secondly, consider your budget you don't want to go overboard and spend more than you can afford on gifts. 


Finally, take into account the number of guests you expect to attend your wedding. This will help you determine how many gifts you'll need to collect.


Once you have a good idea of what you need, it's time to start shopping! 


There are a few ways to go about setting up your wedding gift list. The most popular option is to register at a department store or online retailer. 


Amazon has a great selection of wedding gifts, this allows guests to purchase items from your list without having to worry about shipping them. Be sure to add a mix of practical and fun ideas and ensure there are cheap as well as more expensive options on your Wedding Gift List. Your wish list can include anything from small household items to larger items such as furniture or electronics.


If you're stuck on what to choose, why not ask your guests for ideas? Many couples send out a 'promise list' with their wedding invitations allowing guests to choose an item from the list that they would like to give as a gift, this can be anything from wine glasses to a weekend away.

When it comes to wedding gift lists, there are plenty of options to choose from.


You can select items that you want or need, such as something for the home such as bedding. Or, if you prefer, you can choose a more general theme such as home décor or travel.


Another option is to ask for cash gifts which can be used towards your honeymoon, a down payment on a house, or any other large expense.


No matter what route you decide to go, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure you communicate your list to your guests you can do this in a formal wedding invitation, or even send out an email later on. Guests will appreciate knowing what you would like them to give as a gift. Secondly, be sure to keep your list updated. As people purchase gifts, cross them off the list so others know not to give duplicates.


Another option is to ask for donations to a favourite charity in lieu of gifts. This is a great way to support a cause that is important to you and your partner while also helping those in need.


A final thought on gift lists is to create a way to identify which gifts your guests have purchased so that you can say thank you. You can do this by including a card or envelope with your gift list that your guests can use to indicate the gift they purchased. This will make it easy for you to write thank you notes and show your appreciation.
