Creating A Wedding Registry: Rei Edition

If you're an outdoorsy couple who already has all the home essentials, you might want to consider creating a wedding registry on REI. The process is simple: first, create an account with MyRegistry and specify that it's a registry through REI. You'll then be able to select items to add to your registry, which can be purchased by guests either online or in-store. REI's wedding registry is perfect for couples who want to point their guests towards less traditional gifts, like carabiners, a new bike pump, or a double sleeping bag. You can also ask for gift cards of a certain amount to pay for one of REI's popular destinations, like backpacking in Zion National Park. So, if you and your partner are outdoor enthusiasts, a wedding registry on REI might be the perfect option for you!

No membership needed

Creating an REI wedding registry is simple and does not require membership.

First, find the REI Registry link. This can be found on REI’s main registry page or in the footer of any REI.com page. Once on the REI Registry home page, there are clear buttons to Find, Create, and Login to a Registry account. Click Create a Registry.

You will then be taken to a form where you can select the type of registry, enter your personal information, and create an account. This account is different from your REI online account and is technically made with MyRegistry.com.

MyRegistry.com is the largest online registry marketplace, allowing you to add products from any e-commerce store into its platform. This means that you can add products from other online stores if you want.

After setting up the account, you will be prompted to add your specific registry details, such as the names of the couple, the wedding date, shipping address, and custom notes for guests.

You can then start adding gifts to your registry. You will be taken back to REI.com, and every single product page will have an “Add to Registry” button.

Once you have added everything, you can share your REI Registry with your guests.

Shop anytime, anywhere

The REI Wedding Registry is a great option for couples who want to suggest less traditional gift ideas to their wedding guests.

The process of creating an REI registry is simple. First, you need to create an account with MyRegistry.com, which is the largest online registry marketplace. You can then select the type of registry, enter your personal information, and create an account. You can also add gifts from other online stores if you wish.

Once you've set up the account, you can add your registry details, including the names of the bride and groom, the wedding date, shipping address, and any custom notes for guests.

You can purchase registry gifts online, over the phone, or in person at any REI store. This means you can shop for gifts at a time and place that suits you.

If you're unsure about any of the items, you can get expert advice in-store and online. You can also use the in-store mobile scanning feature to scan items using your cell phone and add them directly to your registry.

The REI Wedding Registry is a convenient option for couples who want to suggest gifts that align with their outdoor interests and hobbies.

In-store mobile scanning

To use this feature, simply open the MyRegistry app on your phone and log in to your registry account. You can then start scanning items using your phone's camera. The items will be automatically added to your registry, along with their details, such as name, price, and quantity.

Additionally, using the MyRegistry app, you can manage your registry on the go. You can add, remove, or edit items, and even track your reservations and purchases. The app also allows you to share your registry with others, making it easy for your wedding guests to find and choose gifts that you truly want.

Remember that with REI's in-store mobile scanning, you can scan items directly from any REI store without having to worry about searching for them online later. This makes creating your wedding registry a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Easy shipping

Most orders over $50 ship for free, so your guests won't have to pay for shipping. This is great news as $50 is often the benchmark for wedding gifts.

You can also buy registry gifts online, over the phone, or in person at any REI store. This means that your guests can choose the most convenient option for them.

If you are the one doing the buying, you can use the specific registry barcode in any physical REI location. A cashier just has to scan the barcode from your phone, or you can ask them to search for it in their computer system.

Return policy

One of the main perks of using REI for your wedding registry is the company's return policy. This policy applies to any purchase at REI for any reason, but it is especially useful for large events such as weddings. REI allows you to return a product up to one year after the purchase date with no questions asked. This is particularly helpful if you receive gifts from your registry that you are unhappy with or that are duplicates.

You can easily return a product in-store or by mail, and because you created an REI registry, you can show that the product was a gift you received.

Additionally, REI offers a 10% discount for any leftover gift registry items. They will send you an email with the discount code, which you can use for up to a year after your wedding.
