For the Brides - Wedding Registry Inspo 2.0

Good morning, Dearest Readers,

It is rare, rainy morning here in Amarillo! Here's to another week - let's make it a good one!

Spring has Sprung, and with it, we welcome Weddings! I may have watched far too many “Say Yes to the Dress” episodes growing up because I have always been very interested in weddings and all things white. 

I took meticulous notes from our wedding planning back in 2021. If you know a bride in 2025 or 2026, feel free to pass along this link to my “Wedding Planning Tips & Tricks Blog.”

Wedding Planning Tips & Tricks

Curating gifts and celebrating life’s milestones brings me great joy! Compiling gifting inspiration to share with others refuels my creative cup. There are many timeless classics on my OG Gift List from last year: “Wedding Gift Inspiration.” However, I wanted to expand on several listed items and incorporate better photos. I hope you enjoy this list and find it helpful to share with a bride you know! 

Wedding Gift Etiquette: 

• If you are shopping for gifts for the happy couple

  • Stick to the registry, especially if you’re unsure what to purchase—it’s curated by the couple, so you cannot go wrong!

• Consider their lifestyle (homebodies vs. entertainers).

• Add a personal note explaining why the gift reminded you of them.

• Stick to your budget. Giving what you can afford is more than okay—thoughtfulness trumps price tag.

• Group gift when needed. If something is over your budget, go in with friends to buy a bigger item.

Here's a list of everything that I could compile and add to Amazon!
