A Wedding Registry for Wishes, Not Stuff

A Wish Registry is a wedding gift registry that allows you to register for meaningful wishes, rather than for “stuff”. Whether you wish for your dream home, your honeymoon, or your future child’s education fund… your wedding wish registry will be unique to you, because you create each item in your registry. The best part? Your guests will love giving gifts that make a difference in your life. And your gift registry funds will be paid to you in cash (money), making it easy to invest in your dreams, instead of more cutlery.
