Each of these top wedding registry stores offers so many different perks that it was hard to compare them all. Well, have no fear! I’ve done all the hard work for you.

Before we jump into the perks of each top wedding registry store, let’s tackle a super common question… 

How Many Stores Should I Register At For Wedding?

As I mentioned in this post with registry tips and tricks, I’d recommend registering for your wedding at two to three different top wedding registry stores.

I prefer one online registry (like Amazon) and one in-store registry (like Target or Pottery Barn). It’s important for your guests to have a couple of different options.

Some gift-givers may prefer the ease of online shopping and others may enjoy going into the store and selecting their gift in person.

  1. Thanks for listing everything out Chelsea! I’m helping my friend with her wedding prep and I’ll be sending this info over to her! I also agree that Amazon and Target are must have stores for a wedding registry. I used both but primarily focused on Amazon and I’m glad I did, because I ended up getting some gifts that I use all the time and my guests spent a fraction of the price they would have spent elsewhere!
