What You'll Learn
Creating a wedding registry profile
To create a wedding registry profile, you can use the Amazon app on your mobile device or tablet. Tap the icon with three horizontal lines in the bottom-right corner, then select "Registry & Gift List" at the top of the screen. From there, you can create a new registry or gift list. Alternatively, you can create a registry directly from a product page on your desktop or the Amazon app by looking for the "Wedding Registry" or "Add to Registry & Gifting" option on the right side of the screen.
When setting up your profile, you'll be asked to input your and your partner's names and select your wedding date (don't worry if you don't have an exact date yet, as you can always change it later). You can also include your guest count, which will help Amazon's Gift Advisor feature suggest the right number of gifts.
Next, you'll select the address where you'd like gifts to be delivered. Here, you can also choose whether to allow guests to send you gifts that aren't included on your registry. Finally, you'll set your registry privacy settings: you can choose to keep it private, share it with a link, or make it public.
Once your wedding registry is set up, you can add any product on Amazon to your registry with the click of a button. You can also use the Gift Advisor feature to narrow down options and get recommendations based on your preferences and price levels. Amazon also offers group gifting, allowing multiple wedding guests to contribute to more expensive items.

Adding items to your registry
Adding items to your Amazon Wedding Registry is simple. You can visit your list by going to the Amazon Wedding Registry page or by going to "Account & Lists" on the homepage and selecting "Wedding Registry" in the drop-down menu.
You can add any product on Amazon to your registry. On every product detail page, there is an "Add to Wedding Registry" button that, once clicked, automatically adds the product to your registry. If you're looking to narrow down the options, you can use the Gift Advisor feature and get recommendations based on your preferences and price levels. This feature is enabled when you include your guest count in the right-hand field.
You can also create a registry directly from a product page on your desktop or the Amazon app. On the product page, you'll see a drop-down menu on the right side of your screen that says "Wedding Registry" (on desktop) or "Add to Registry & Gifting" (on the app). Click that, then follow the steps to "Create".
If you're using the Amazon app, you can add items from a product page by finding the product you'd like, scrolling down, and then tapping "Add to Registry & Gifting".

Group gifting
You can also enable or disable Group Gifting for specific items in your Wedding Registry. To do this, go to your Wedding Registry, select the relevant item, and turn the Group Gifting button on or off. Again, remember to select "Save Changes" after making your adjustments.
When an item is enabled for Group Gifting, friends and family can contribute any amount toward purchasing that item. You will receive these contributions in the form of an Amazon.com electronic gift card, which you can redeem to your Amazon balance. Please note that items with Group Gifting contributions will not ship until purchased by the registry owner.
You can view and manage Group Gifting contributions by selecting the items in your Wedding Registry or by opening your Thank You List. Here, you will see the names and addresses of contributors or purchasers if they have opted to share their information. Each item enabled for Group Gifting will show the dollar amount contributed so far, and it will be marked as "fully funded" when enough contributions have been received to purchase the item. Remember that only the primary registry owner can redeem contributions, and the balance cannot be used until contributions are redeemed.

Thank-you notes
To use the Wedding Registry on Amazon, you must first create a Wedding Registry profile and add items to your registry. You can add items from the world's largest selection, get free 180-day returns on most items, and manage your registry on any device at any time.
Now, on to the thank-you notes. It is important to acknowledge the gifts you receive and thank your guests for their attendance and contributions to your special day. Here are some tips and guidelines for writing thank-you notes:
- Timing: It is considered proper etiquette to send thank-you notes promptly after receiving a gift. Aim to send them within a few weeks of receiving the gift, or at the latest, within three months after the wedding.
- Personalisation: Write personalised notes to each guest or couple, mentioning the specific gift they gave you and how you plan to use it. For example, "Dear Aunt Susan, Thank you so much for the blender from our Amazon Wedding Registry. I can't wait to try out new recipes and make delicious smoothies!"
- Expression of Gratitude: Express your sincere gratitude for the gift and the thoughtfulness of the giver. You can also mention any special connection or significance the gift has to you. For instance, "We were so touched by your generosity and thoughtfulness. The blender will be put to good use as we start our journey as a married couple, and we will think of you every time we use it."
- Mentioning the Wedding: If you received the gift before the wedding, you can also include a sentence or two about how happy you were to celebrate your special day with the guest. For example, "It meant so much to us that you were able to join us at our wedding. We hope you enjoyed the celebration as much as we did!"
- Tracking: Keep track of the thank-you notes you've sent. Amazon's Baby Registry has a Thank You List feature that allows you to track the gifts purchased and the people you've thanked. Although there is no electronic thank-you note feature, you can use it for your convenience to manage your thank-you notes outside of Amazon.
- Sample Notes and Etiquette: If you need further guidance or inspiration, you can refer to books like "Write After the Wedding: Wedding Gift Registry & Thank-You Note Guide" by Paul and Katherine Aertker, which provides sample notes, etiquette tips, and good "buzz" words to use in your thank-you notes.

Registry privacy settings
When creating an Amazon wedding registry, you can choose your desired privacy setting, and you can change this at any time.
To change your privacy settings, go to Settings in the menu at the top of the page, then scroll down to the privacy options and select your preference before clicking "Save Changes". You can also change your privacy settings by selecting "Your registry" from the top menu on your wedding registry page. Under your names and a countdown to your wedding date, it will say "Your registry is" followed by your current privacy setting ("Private", "Shareable", or "Public"). If you want to share your wedding registry, you can click the "Share" button in the top right corner of your screen.
If your registry is set to "Public", guests can find it by searching on Amazon. If you prefer, you can share a link with only certain people, or keep your registry "Private" so that only you and your co-registrant can see it until you're ready to share.
