Planning your wedding can be quite a daunting process. With everything on your to-do list, there are just not enough hours in a day to get it all done. This can be an even more difficult task for a DIY bride on a budget, who has employed herself to be her own wedding planner.

In today’s era, the internet and other modes of technology have provided a bride-to-be with so much information. Such as wedding checklists, seating charts, budgets sheets, the list goes on and on.

Although, it is very helpful to have these tools handy at the click of your mouse, it also can cause that soon to be bride to feel very overwhelmed.

At MissPlanIt, we have assisted so many brides with wedding planning, we know the simpler, the better. Which is why we have written a simple step-by-step tutorial. Below see How to Create Your Wedding Registry on Amazon.

Why Amazon?

For one we absolutely LOVE Amazon, it the leading online source to find anything you need. When we receive a project request from one of our community members, we first go to Amazon or our local craft store to purchase items for that project.

We know the pricing will be comparable to your local craft store (unless of course they are having a great sale or coupons) and Amazon can ship items to virtually anywhere in the world.

This is great for those brides who are not located in the U.S or may not have the same local craft store we frequent to complete our DIY projects.

It’s true you can setup your wedding registry at almost any retail store but many of those stores only allow you to choose items from a specific category. With Amazon, you can find anything you need for you and your soon to be spouse.

The greatest benefit is Amazon offers so many products that you can setup 1 registry.

Yes, I repeat 1 Registry!

Not 2 or 3 registries, so this in itself is a win because TIME is valuable and one thing we can never get back. Saving an hour or 2 setting up your wedding registry is great. That time can be spent doing something else on your to-do list such as deciding on your wedding budget.

Remember, every second of your day counts.

This also is a great consideration for your guests as they no longer need to search on multiple registries. They are able to go to your 1 registry and quickly order your gift.

Don’t delay or put off setting up your wedding registry until tomorrow. Decide to get rid of those procrastinating tendencies and set it up today.

The process is super easy and literally takes a couple of minutes. Once it’s setup add 1 or more items to start and your registry is ready to go. Once you have your wedding registry all setup, this is one thing you will be able to check off your to-do list. There’s no greater feeling than being able to say: “I completed that TODAY!”

So let’s Get Started:

STEP 1: Click: Shop Amazon – Create an Amazon Wedding Registry

STEP 3: Next click Wedding Registry

STEP 4: Click Create your Wedding Registry

Yes, your guest can choose an Amazon gift card as your wedding gift!

Add items to your Wedding Registry:

- Choose a category, let’s start with “Registry Favorites.”
- Once you click Registry Favorites, there are 13 or more categories to choose from, you can also do an Amazon search.
- After you click “Registry Favorites,” the default category is “Small Kitchen Appliances.” If you would like to add an item from this category, you would simply find your desired item and then click “Add to Registry.”
- To search for a specific item, you would type the item name in the “Search across Amazon,” box and then click Go. For instance, let’s use the Kitchen Aid Mixer as an example.
- Type in Kitchen Aid Mixer, a list of Kitchen Aid Mixers will populate. Choose the mixer of your dreams to compliment your kitchen.

Once you have made your decision, you will click “Add to Registry.”
The Add to Registry button will disappear with the text being replaced with “Remove from registry.” Also an “Added” flag will appear.
This lets you know you successfully added this item to your registry but you also have the option to remove it if needed.
To see your newly added item, you would click “Your Registry.” The item you chose is there with an option to set it as a “High Priority” item on your list.

This process is quick, simple, and easy and it only takes a matter of minutes for you to begin adding those much needed and much wanted items to your registry.

Universal Registry: This is a great feature, you are able to track what you want from any website and add it to your registry.
