Wedding Registry Guide

 Most couples today, myself included, live together before getting married which means that they already have everything they need for their home. We filled our wedding registry with gifts we want rather than need, since we already had all the essentials .  We registered at a few different places so that guests had options to choose from. We registered at Target, Amazon, Sur la Table, and we organized everything on The Knot . The Knot's registry allowed us to add gifts from anywhere and it synced our other registries all in one place.  In our kitchen, we already had all the essential baking dishes, cutting boards, measuring tools, bowls, and cooking utensils.

We already had basic kitchen appliances such as a blender, tea kettle, mini grill, waffle maker, Kitchen Aid mixer, and toaster oven. We did register for a fancy espresso machine, Sodastream, and CrockPot....

Welcome Gifts for Destination Wedding

We passed them out at the welcome party which was the day before the wedding.  This canvas bag was both a gift bag for the welcome party and a beach bag for the remainder of the vacation. We put the rest of the gifts inside the bag and wrote each guest's name on an attached gift tag. The canvas bags were handmade by my mom using 100% cotton canvas fabric.

Bridesmaid Proposal Box

Image
 I asked my bridesmaids with a bridesmaid proposal box. I made them to fit the theme by using items that can be used during travel and vacation, and everything was in our wedding color scheme. I took inspiration from boxes that I saw on Pinterest and I noticed that most bridesmaid proposal boxes are filled with treats, beauty products, and accessories.   I started with a plain white box , but there are plenty of decorative boxes that can be found in stores and online as well. Most boxes I saw in stores were a little too big for my gifts, but I found perfect sized boxes on SHEIN.  I filled the box with gold crinkle paper , they can be found in any color. I did not see the gold anywhere in stores, so I bought it from Aliexpress.  For the treat, I filled white organza bags with white Hershey kisses . Other treat ideas are different kinds of chocolates or a mini bottle of champagne. Party City has chocolates in many different color wrappings, which is where I got the whi...
