Once upon a time, wedding registries were limited to items for the home– a necessary starting point for many couples today (here’s our handy wedding registry checklist if you need one).
But those registry limits no longer exist!
Forget any “rules” you may have heard about what you should or shouldn’t be adding to your registry. Feel all that new mental space? Okay, now think about you and your future spouse: What makes you happy as a couple? What activities do you enjoy doing together? What makes you both feel at home?
Use the visions as your inspiration for your less conventional wedding registry items. While honeymoon funds and experiences are popular, they aren’t for everyone–some guests will always prefer to give a physical gift you can enjoy over and over again.
If you’re looking for a few of those unique items to add to your registry, keep scrolling! Here are some ideas to help you get started.
1. Record player
If you’re a couple that loves to enjoy your tunes on vinyl, a quality record player is a must. When it comes to your wedding registry, you want to make sure you get the best. This vintage-style set is equipped with a diamond-tipped stylus and comes with two Berkeley speakers to deliver smooth sounds for decades to come.
2. Gourmet Bloody Mary kit
Even as a non-drinker, I can’t resist a good Bloody Mary (just make it a virgin, please!), and there’s nothing better than being able to quell that craving from home. With a gourmet Bloody Mary kit on your wedding registry, you’ll have the perfectly balanced brunch beverage within reach all the time — whether it’s just for the two of you or you’re hosting friends and family.
3. Wallpaper
Are you passionate about patterns? Crazy about color? Falling in love with floral? No matter your interior design style as a couple, there’s a wallpaper out there that will suit your shared space and add a pop of personality to any room. With thousands of options to choose from, Wayfair is your one-stop shop for the perfect home decor.
4. Disc golf set
When my husband first suggested that we play disc golf years ago, I looked at him like he had frisbees for hands, but I gave it a shot anyway. Suffice it to say I was hooked after our first game. A portable disc golf set gives you the ability to take some friendly competition into the great outdoors — who wouldn’t want one on their wedding registry?
Adding a watch box and travel jewelry case keeps your jewels and timepieces neat and organized no matter where you go.
5. Jewelry and watch storage
When you think of marriage, jewelry often comes to mind. If you’re a couple who loves your accessories, what better time to upgrade your storage? For men, you can’t go wrong with a monogrammed leather watch box that fits five timepieces nestled in velvet. And for the ladies, a trusty travel jewelry case to store your sparkle is a must for your wedding registry.
6. Nintendo Switch
Maybe you really weren’t thinking of adding a Nintendo Switch to your wedding registry, and that’s okay! But if you’re anything like the majority of couples I know, you love friendly competition, old-school games, and upgraded technology. This console offers all of that, plus the ability to plug it right into your TV for big-screen gaming or take it on the go and play from anywhere.
7. Drone
Are you a couple who loves to document your travels and adventures? With a drone, you can capture even more incredible footage like never before. This foldable GPS drone comes with a 2K HD camera, hands-free flying capabilities, and live video transmission, giving you plenty of options for getting the perfect shot.
8. Outdoor dining set
When the weather is nice, nothing beats being able to share a meal together and with loved ones in the great outdoors. A 6-person dining set gives you the flexibility to entertain a group and is cozy enough for an at-home date night. If you’ve got the space for one, it’s a great addition to your wedding registry. Many registry providers now offer a group gifting option for big ticket items like this one–be sure to add it when possible!
9. Beach tent
One of the best things you can do for your health is get outside, right? But you can’t be too careful when it comes to sun exposure, and if you ask me, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do it in style. Business & Pleasure makes the most beautiful beach tents and accessories that will literally keep you covered on the sunniest of days.
10. Gardening tools
Growing your own flowers or vegetables can be so rewarding, and it’s more fun when you can enjoy it as a couple. Start your gardening journey by including a full set of gardening tools and a comfortable, foldable stool on your wedding registry. Plus, you can bundle it all up in an easy-to-carry tote for storage or travel.
11. Luxury pool floats
If you’ve got a pool, you need FUNBOY floats. They’re high-quality, fun (obviously), and so much more stylish than anything else out there. Add a duo of yacht floats to your wedding registry and prepare to settle in for the ultimate relaxation. With these in your pool, you’ll be wishing for warm weather all year.
12. Deluxe Scrabble set
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good game of Scrabble. As an avid player myself, I can attest to the fact that playing on a board with raised tile grooves and a turntable literally changes the game. With a deluxe Scrabble set, no one has to bend their brain trying to read upside-down, and letters stay in place without having to fuss. That’s a win for everyone.
