Gift list trends

Wedding registries used to be about getting the basics for young newlyweds who were setting up home for the first time. But these days, many couples already have all the basics and have probably been living together for a few years anyway, so the trend in gift lists has been to ‘upgrade’ to more grown-up things, and finally get some of the funky, designer housewares that you always loved but didn’t think to buy yourself.

And, for those who feel they have everything, a few big gifts (and the request for guests to contribute towards them) has become more common; think outdoor furniture, large appliances, or even weekends away. Another in vogue idea for the more socially conscious, or the second-time-around marriage is charitable donations instead of gifts.

The latest trend, however, is the honeymoon registry, with couples choosing to have their guests make donations to their honeymoon. For the ease of both you and your guests, TWGL is proud to offer a specially created honeymoon registry system with vouchers for your holiday donations, which can sit alongside more conventional gifts.
