When you are getting married, it can be so exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. I’ve put together the wedding registries with the best perks, at least in my opinion. This will help you compare which ones might be the best for you and your future spouse and hopefully, make it a little less stressful.
I highly suggest making at least two different registries, preferably three. This way your guest have more options, some might like to shop online while others prefer in-store. Also, make sure that you have a variety of price points on your registry. Some people will be on a budget, while others can splurge a little. I’ve included some affiliate links to help you find the registries easier.
Kohl’s
I am listing this registry first because I think it has the best perks out of all of the wedding registries I have looked at. The only problem I have with Kohl’s is that they don’t have as much selection as say Amazon or Target, but you can still find amazing products.
Benefits for the Couple:
- Kohl’s Ever After Rewards: You will earn 10% rewards on gifts purchased from your registry. This will be given to you in the form of a Kohl’s gift card to purchase on things you may not have gotten. You will automatically be enrolled when you create a registry and you don’t have to have a Kohl’s credit card to get the rewards.
- Completion Program: After your wedding day, you’ll receive an offer via email to save 15% on items remaining on your registry after your big day! It is valid for 3 months after your wedding day.
