Wedding Registry Trends for 2013

Posted on by

Modern couples are breaking tradition when it comes to their wedding registries. Take a look at these wedding registry trends for 2013:

50% of couples expect to foot the bill for the wedding

Wedding planning can be stressful and expensive – but the wedding registry doesn’t have to! Wedding Registry saves couples time and money – instead of running around to every store in town, create an all-in-one registry that you can access anytime, anywhere, from your mobile device or laptop.

70% of couples live together before marriage

Today’s modern couple already has the kitchen essentials and other home goods that used to make up a wedding registry. This means couples are free to ask for unique, personalized, and ever weird items – 3D TVs, camping equipment, even more.

88% of couples set up 2 to 3 wedding registries

Why set up 2 or 3 wedding registries when you could set up one complete registry that is easily shared with friends and family? Wedding Registry works with all stores, and all store websites – so you no longer have to create separate registries around Big Box stores.

70% of grooms help with the wedding registry

It’s great to see grooms taking a more active role in their wedding registries – after all, they have to live with the gifts too! With Wedding Registry, grooms can have their own list category for “guy stuff”.

The average length of time couples start their wedding registry is 6 months

While this may make you feel accomplished or that you’re doing your guests a favor, the reality is that most guests buy gifts at the last minute. With Wedding Registry, sharing your list with guests is fast, and they don’t need to own a smartphone to shop. The best part – you get notified when each gift is bought.

The most popular wedding registry gift categories are….

Honeymoon and Related Gifts: Wedding Registry works with honeymoon gifts. To add a night in a hotel, airfare, or other honeymoon expense, simply create a category called ‘honeymoon’ and enter details for each line item. Keep in mind the average amount a guest will spend on a gift is $150.

Home Renovation and Outdoor: From BBQ pits to a custom closet, it can be added to Wedding Registry. Add images and notes to your DIY items so guests can see exactly what you need.

Food and Drink: Couples cooking classes, a wine club membership, or gift certificate trip to your favorite restaurant– create your ultimate foodie Wedding Registry with iList Apps®
