How much should a wedding registry be worth?

A good rule is to register for 1.5 to 2 times the expected total gift amount. This gives guests plenty of options across price points.

How many items should be on a wedding registry?

Register for at least as many items as you have guests. A 150-guest wedding should have 150-200 items across various price points.

What price range should registry items be?

Include 30% budget items (under $50), 45% mid-range ($50-$150), and 25% premium items ($150+). This accommodates all guest budgets.
