Why Prime Day Is a Bride’s Secret Weapon
If you’re building a wedding registry, Prime Day is basically your Super Bowl. The timing is ideal, the discounts are real, and with a little prep, you can snag everything from honeymoon luggage to a high‑speed blender—all without asking your guests to spend a fortune. Whether your registry needs a full refresh or just a few thoughtful additions, this is your chance to get ahead of the sale and make it all work a little harder for you.
Follow this simple playbook to get your wedding registry ready before Prime Day deals go live on July 8‑11th. A few small updates can go a long way toward saving money, picking out what you actually want, and make the whole process easier on your guests. You’ve got this!
Step 1: Refresh Your Registry Before the Sale
1. Log in or create your Amazon Wedding Registry. It’s free, and setup takes less than five minutes.
2. Take a quick audit of your current items. Delete anything you’ve already bought or products that have gone out of stock.
3. Aim for gift variety. Stock two to three gifts per guest across multiple price points so everyone can click “Add to Cart” with confidence.
4. Keep big‑ticket items on the list. Amazon’s 20% Completion Discount only applies to items that stay on your registry, even if no one buys them during the sale.
Pro Tip: Use Amazon’s checklist tool to spot gaps—think barware, linens, and outdoor living essentials.
