The Evolution of the Wedding Registry

Thinking about a traditional wedding registry? Consider creating a honeymoon registry instead and forgoing “stuff” for unforgettable experiences with your partner.

Fine china had a good, long run in traditional wedding registries. In fact, giving physical wedding gifts has been a tradition for thousands of years and the formal wedding registry is nearly a century old. Nowadays, however, the most popular items in wedding registries can’t be wrapped. They revolve around experiences instead. None more popular than the honeymoon experience, which can include airfare, accommodations, private tours, massages and more.

It’s not all that surprising. Modern couples typically live together before they tie the knot and already own many of the household items they need. Research suggests that these couples prefer a minimalist lifestyle as well. In short, less “stuff” is better.

It all points to the advent of the honeymoon registry. With the right online registry platform, couples can turn their dream getaways into reality and even expand their horizons in terms of what it includes. And if that’s not enough, the memories they make will be forever shared in a uniquely intimate way with the family and friends that made them possible.

Couples have a wide variety of options, but few honeymoon registries check all the boxes. The best of them streamline the process with versatile sets of tools, deep libraries of resources and dedicated customer service.
