Registry!

I’m going to put organization stuff on!

I put a range of $25, $50, and $100+ items on ours and I added gift cards to ikea, home depot, and marshalls.
We went to Bed Bath and Beyond to build one of their registries and I found it helpful for gadgets and upgrading some of our items.
We had everything from produce savers and spatulas, blenders, hand mixers, sheets, and even some Etsy finds like personalized mugs. Mostly we got cash at the wedding. Our shower was cancelled but I do think that would have resulted in gifts over cash because shower folks love to watch you unwrap things!

I think a range of things you want and need. There are some family members who may want to pool together to buy some of the more expensive items. I for one love putting money together with 2 or 3 people to buy something that a couple may not be able to afford easily on their own. You may end up getting a pot and pan set from a family. You never know. It is a wish list basically. It'll give an idea of what you want or need. No one has to buy anything off of it of course. I tend to spend $50-$100 for most bridal shower gifts. My sister I spent about $200.... I would put more $20-50 dollar items but you should have one or two higher priced items too...just my opinion.

I would personally keep shower gifts under $30. Utensils, plateware and glassware, pillowcases, bedding, pots and pans, a Britta filter, knife sets, and cleaners (stove cleaners, bathtub/toilet cleaners, etc) are a few things you can add.


You can also have multiple people contribute to a larger priced gifts like smart technology. Have two or three people contribute toward a smart TV, security camera, chromecast or Alexa.
