So, I’m getting married! Yay! Thus begins one of many forthcoming posts about wedding planning. Weddings are full of a million little choices. You have to choose decor, food, flowers, a dress, and a registry! There are many different options when it comes to registering for your wedding. With so many different sites available to register on, how do you choose? Well, unless you have a particular store that you are in love with, it can be a challenging decision. But, I’m going to walk you through all the benefits of an Amazon wedding registry! They offer some amazing value. Let’s dig in!

Reason #1: You Can Personalize Your Registry Page
Not only do you get to add your chosen goods to your Amazon wedding registry, but you can personalize your registry page too! You can add your picture, put a personal note to your friends and family at the top of the page, and even mark certain items as “must haves”. This allows you to make it warm and inviting to your friends and family, while also asking them for stuff! Not only is it fun to have your page all personalized, but Amazon has thousands and thousands of items to choose from for your registry.
Reason #2: Universal Registry Browser Button
This is super cool. You can download a registry button that will install on your browser. That way when you’re shopping, ANYWHERE, you have the option to add items to your Amazon wedding registry. Shopping at Target.com? Add it to your registry. Anthropologie? Add it to your registry. This button makes it easy for you to put anything on your registry, even if it isn’t from Amazon.
Reason #3: Select Vendors Will Give You a Free Gift!
Certain vendors have offered Amazon wedding registry clients a free gift when your friends and family purchase a certain dollar amount of their items from your registry. The terms are different for each vendor. The companies that are offering free gifts are: SimpleHuman, All-Clad, Circulon, Riedel, Rachel Ray, Anolon, Pfaltzgraff, Mikasa, Kenmore, and Lennox. It’s like double dipping! You get your registry items and free stuff!
Reason #4: Completion Discount!
If you’re not familiar with the term completion discount as it applies to wedding registries, it means that when your wedding is over, you can get the leftover stuff on your registry at a discount! When you register for your wedding on Amazon, get $500 in registry items purchased for you, AND are a prime member, you get 20% off for your completion discount. Non-prime members get 10% (still good!). As a prime member myself, I’m excited about that 20%! Woot woot! Prime members can use that coupon for a transaction up to $1500 and non-prime members get their discount for a purchase up to $1000. (Items must be shipped and sold by Amazon, no third parties).*See Amazon’s Wedding Registry site for full terms.
Reason #5: 180 Day Return Policy
I know you picked it out. Yes, your cousin bought it for you. But, maybe you don’t like it, or want it after all. Amazon gives you plenty of time to return any items from your registry. 180 days to be exact! Pretty cool.

Reason #6: Group Gifting
Group gifting makes it easier for you to get those pricier items on your list. It allows for multiple people to contribute to the same item. Want that big screen tv? (I mean, we’re going for it righ?) Then your family members can pull together and contribute to the same big purchase item.
Reason #7: Worry Free Thank You Cards
This is especially helpful if you are having a large wedding. Your Amazon wedding registry will keep track of who bought what item off of your registry for you. So when it comes time to send out those thank you notes, you won’t have to scramble, or save cards with items, or look at shipping labels. It will all be digital and within your reach immediately.
Reason #8: Package X-Ray
This is a super cool feature available within the app. Package X-Ray allows you to scan a box and see what’s inside without ever having to open the box. This makes any returns super easy. Just x-ray the package and if you want to return it, slap on the return label and drop it off at the post office or Kohl’s.
Reason #9: Financing Options
Select items on Amazon are available for special financing options. These options include equal monthly payments or zero percent financing as well. This is perfect for those family members that may want to contribute by purchasing a certain item, but don’t necessarily have the immediate cash flow. It’s great to have options!
