If you’re an Amazon Prime member who loves the convenience and selection of shopping on Amazon, the site may seem like a natural choice for your wedding registry.
Setting up an Amazon wedding registry is completely free, and it comes with a bunch of cool benefits, including:

How do I find someone’s wedding registry?
That depends on how the couple set up their Amazon wedding registry. There are options in Amazon to make a registry public, accessible via a shared link, and searchable on Amazon.com. Another checkbox allows the registry to be searchable on TheKnot.com. The couple creating the registry controls these settings, so your best bet will be to ask them for the link to the registry if you cannot find it in an online search.
How to set up an Amazon wedding registry
To set up your registry, you’ll fill out basic info about yourself and your partner, including your names and wedding date.
You’ll also fill in some details about the wedding and your guest list, which Amazon will use to help make gift recommendations.
You’ll be able to select your shipping address from your saved addresses on Amazon:
There’s also the option to share your shipping address with non-Amazon sellers on the site, which is important if you’re asking for anything that doesn’t ship from Amazon itself, as well as the option to let your guests send gifts you aren’t registered for.
Then, you’ll select privacy settings for your registry:
Amazon registries also integrate with the wedding site The Knot, so your guests can find your registry there if you opt to make your registry public and tick the box.
This is what the landing page for your wedding registry will look like:
Amazon suggests how wedding many gifts you should have at each price point depending on the number of guests. If you need ideas, check out their Gift Advisor, which can make recommendations.
You can also set up an Amazon gift card fund, which guests can contribute to in any amount.
You can also make additions to your registry from any Amazon product page.
On the registry settings page, you can share access with your partner so they can edit your registry as well. You can also set up options such as group gifting, where multiple guests can contribute what they wish to items over a certain price threshold.
