Registry for Couple Moving Abroad After Wedding

Alisha, on February 23, 2018 at 15:32 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 4

Hi guys,

Fiance and I will be moving abroad after we get married this year. We are not sure what to do about a wedding registry as we don't want to haul a bunch of things in our suitcases. I made an Amazon wishlist and so far just added smaller items or things we really want:

- Instax wide camera + film + cross body holder

- Duffle bag to replace the one I have now

- A lens for my DSLR, but it's pricey

We are thinking we would love Ikea gift cards, since we are moving to the Netherlands and will have a small place, but we don't think their cards work internationally. So, we are at a loss of what to ask for.

    I think gift cards are a great idea! You could even put some Dutch retailers on the list.

    I was just going to say I believe I've used IKEA gift cards internationally, but it looks like that's all resolved! Plus many retailers will let you put gift cards on registries, so you could register for a few small items, or even items related to travel, and add an option for guests to contribute towards a gift card, so you're asking for money without really asking!

    What part of the Netherlands are you moving to? I used to live in Amsterdam, near Westerpark

    I think in this case, encouraging money is a good option.

    Turns out you can use IKEA cards internationally, so we added it to our list.
