How many gifts should you put on a wedding gift list?

A gift list should feel generous rather than restrictive. Include items across a broad price range so that a guest on a tight budget can still find something meaningful. Mix small, inexpensive items with a few larger, more expensive contributions. This gives everyone the freedom to choose what they can afford.

Consider adding different categories to suit various tastes. Practical kitchen items, home essentials, experiences and cash contributions towards a honeymoon or house deposit all work well. If you are unsure, ask close family or friends for ideas about what you truly need.

Remember that guests are not obliged to buy from the list. A clear, varied selection simply makes it easier for them to choose something you will love. Update the list regularly so that popular items do not remain available long after they have been bought.
