Gift Cards

There’s an age-old question: what do you get for the couple who has everything? Our answer? Gift cards! If you’ve already lived together before your big day, you may already have many of the items on this list. That’s where gift cards to your favorite airline, fitness club, or streaming service come in handy! Hint: Airbnb gift cards are some of the most popular registry picks year after year.

  • Hotels & Lodging (like Airbnb and Hotels.com)
  • Transportation (like Delta and Uber)
  • Entertainment (like Hulu)
  • Charity
  • Health & Wellness (like Soulcycle and Zeel)

Cash Funds

Asking for cash on your wedding registry is no longer a faux pas, especially when paired with traditional registry gift items. The best way to go about requesting money is to be specific about where the funds are going – your honeymoon, buying a house, or saving for a new puppy! Zola allows you to upload photos and let guests know exactly where their gift is going. This way, they feel like they’ve contributed to an actual present instead of giving you a bucket o’ cash. And hey, Zola has the lowest cash fund fee in the industry – just a credit card processing fee!

  • Honeymoon Funds
  • Home Fund
  • Puppy Fund
  • Lifetime Supply of Coffee
