If you found this post, I’m gonna guess you’re a bride- or groom-to-be who needs some serious wedding registry advice. Well, good news: You’ve come to the right place (and the right people, if I do say so myself). As a shopping editor, I know it’s not just about what you buy, but where you buy it from that makes all the difference for you and your guests—which is why I've rounded up the best places to register for a wedding in 2022.

From convenient retailers like Amazon and one-stop-shops for all things weddings like Zola to department stores with traditional gifts like Bloomingdale's, Williams Sonoma, and Neiman Marcus, the list below has something for every couple and budget. So whether you're looking to set up a honeymoon fund, furnish your dream home, or add unique wedding gifts to your list, registry services at the retailers below will make it happen (without making you want to pull your hair out).

    How many wedding registries should you have?

    line breaker

    Couples traditionally have three to four different registries depending on the size of the wedding. This ensures there’s plenty for guests to choose from at various price points. Trust: It’s better to have a few items leftover than a super small list that’s completely picked through by the time the last guests go to purchase something.

    Keep in mind that the days of in-person shopping and walking around department stores with a literal scanner are long gone—and keeping tracking of three or four different tabs on digital gift lists can be a pain—which is why websites that allow you to combine registries, like Zola, are so popular.

    Where do you put your wedding registry?

    line breaker

    You can put your wedding registry on your wedding website so guests can shop efficiently and refer back to it at any time. Easy enough, right? It’s also customary to include registry details on your save the date and bridal shower invitations (so basically, it’ll be impossible for your friends and family to forget a gift—because you deserve to be spoiled).
