Short answer
There is no right number for a wedding gift list list. Aim for enough choices to suit different budgets, but avoid making it so long that guests feel overwhelmed.
A good registry offers a range of price points so that every guest can find something meaningful. You might include a few lower-cost items alongside a handful of bigger-ticket presents. This gives guests freedom to choose what fits their budget without feeling pressured.
Think about what you actually need in your new home together. Many couples find that practical kitchen tools, linen sets and experience-based gifts are the most useful. If you already live together, consider whether you truly need more household items before adding them to the list.
You do not need to register at a single shop. Some couples use a cash fund for honeymoons or home projects, while others keep a traditional list. Whatever you choose, make sure the list is easy to find and update as items are purchased.
Remember that guests are not required to buy from your list. A thoughtful card or a contribution toward a shared experience can be just as special.
