Congrats on your recent engagement! Now, the fun really begins as you start planning your wedding- and that includes creating your wedding gift registries. Registering can be so much fun but also overwhelming as there are so many choices to make.

So, we’re here to help with these 3 easy steps:

1. Download our comprehensive Wedding Registry Checklist and keep it with you whether you’re heading to the stores or registering online!
2. Take a peek at our best tips for creating your wedding gift registry.
3. Decide where you’re going to register. We compiled this handy registry chart which compares all of the registry perks from our favorite retailers and registry providers. We like to break it down into three types of registries:

• Essentials Retailers: everything you need for kitchen, dining, bedding, bath and more
• Specialty Retailers: tailored more to a specific home category or hobby- home décor or kitchen, outdoor adventures
• All-Inclusive Registry Providers: universal registries that allow you to combine all types of registries in one place
