3 registry dilemmas & how to solve them

Wedding planning is pretty much a full-time job these days, so we understand why some couples feel they just don't have the time or brain power to create a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/giftregistry/createRegistryForm" target="_self">wedding registry</a>. In reality, though, focusing on future wants and needs is exactly what every engaged couple should be doing to prepare for their new life together. And since we're always here to help—we've designed some tools to tackle these commonly heard registry dilemmas.

"but we're too busy to register!"

Again, we get it. Planning the big day is a big undertaking. The two of you are lucky if you have five minutes to grab lunch and check your phone during the day. But thanks to the <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/appinfopage" target="_self">Bed Bath & Beyond app</a>, five minutes (if that!) is all you need. Our app lets you quickly set up your wedding registry and then add gifts on the go–like when you're waiting for the caterer or taking the dog for a walk or doing some pre-sleep scrolling. You can also use the app in-store to scan and add items to your registry or share your registry with family and friends via text, email, favorite social media channel, and more.

"we just don't know where to start."

Couples with this complaint usually fall into one of two categories: they're either overwhelmed because they need everything or they're at a loss for ideas since they already have some stuff.For the nearly-weds who need it all, we suggest getting started with our <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/kickstarters/wedding/200001/all" target="_self">registry quick picks</a>.

It's full of the latest home products and organized by lifestyle, so you can just skip to what's important to the two of you.

"we want nice stuff but don't want to ask too much of our guests."

Well, aren't you two the best couple ever?! But seriously, we love how thoughtful today's couples are, and we're happy to say there's an easy solution to this dilemma. Just use our registry price analyzer (found in <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/account/Login" target="_self">your registry dashboard</a>) to make sure you've requested the right amount of gifts in a range of price points.

6 micro-wedding ideas you can totally recreate

Big weddings not your thing? You're not alone. The micro-wedding trend continues to grow as more couples opt to celebrate their big day on a smaller scale. But just because you're keeping things small doesn't mean you have to skimp on style. Check out these fun small wedding ideas and how you can easily recreate them with Bed Bath & Beyond pieces. (Don't forget we offer <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/pricematch" target="_self">Price Match Promise</a> and free shipping so you can keep your budget small, too!)

a whimsical welcome

Is your small wedding venue off the beaten bath? Let guests know they've arrived at the right place with a beautiful welcome sign.

starry night nuptials

What could be more romantic than exchanging vows under the stars and a canopy of twinkling lights?

not your typical sit-down dinner

If a traditional sit-down dinner feels too fussy, try swapping chairs for floor pillows and instantly change the vibe to fun! Earthy accents like <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/woven-charger-plates" target="_self">woven charger plates</a> and greenery will help keep things grounded, too.

a royally romantic banquet dinner

Of course, there's nothing wrong with a dressed-up dining table. We love this modern tablescape, featuring crystal clear chairs and gold accents.

retro cocktail hour

Keeping with the intimate wedding theme, why not create a lounge area for libations? While the two of you are off snapping pictures, guests can help themselves to your signature drink and a comfy seat.

a dreamy dessert table

Whether you're set on serving wedding cake or going with a nontraditional treat, the right <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/dining/serveware/cake-dessert-servers/12135" target="_self">serving pieces</a> will help you easily pull off a showstopping dessert table!

ideas for a backyard wedding

Having a backyard wedding is an easy way to keep costs down and create an intimate atmosphere for a unique event that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Most yards can accommodate 25 to 50 guests, so you'll need to keep your guest list fairly short. You can make it a casual celebration with some basic decorations or go all out with all the embellishments you want. We have everything you'll need to help you express your personal style on your big day.

select the right furniture

The right furniture for your celebration depends on how much you have to spend and the vibe you want to create. Folding chairs are an inexpensive option as are camping chairs. Hay bales are perfect for casual festivities. You can easily toss a few blankets over the top and add a few pillows to make your guests feel comfy. Just make sure that these accessories match your wedding colors. Don't forget about tables, especially for your cake and other food. With the right <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/10004">home decor</a>, you can create a welcoming feel outdoors.

snag some carts and coolers

Summer is the best time to plan an outdoor wedding because the weather is so nice. As the temperature climbs, you want to make sure that your guests stay hydrated. Coolers are great for backyard weddings because you can fill them with ice and drinks without worrying about the ice melting before the night ends. Carts are just as handy because you can fill them with food and let guests help themselves when they're hungry. You can even use some carts to pass out cupcakes or napkins.

pick the right drinkware

As you consider how to plan a backyard ceremony and reception and search for DIY backyard wedding ideas, you'll see it's often recommended to go with disposable drinkware. This can save you some money and help you stick to your budget. Disposable drinkware now comes in fun colors beyond the red plastic cups that you associate with frat parties. You can also look for drinkware that guests can take home as souvenirs. Think about funky Tiki-inspired cups or insulted mugs that keep drinks hot or cold. You can even turn these into wedding favors!

Even if you have a tight budget, you can still add some color to your ceremony and reception with table linens. Now is the time to ask your friends and family if you can borrow the old folding tables and card tables that they have. Once you toss a tablecloth over a folding table, no one can see its imperfections. You can go with classic colors that match the outfits of your wedding party or cute designs that add a fun touch to your outdoor venue.

consider serveware

When you need help planning an outdoor wedding on a budget, look for places where you can cut back, such as the food you serve. You might opt for simple appetizers instead of a full meal. If you plan on only serving appetizers and cake, plan your reception outside of mealtimes. You might have a reception around 2 p.m. or later at night. Some couples opt for brunch to keep costs down or host potluck receptions, inviting their family and friends to bring food to share. Make sure that you have the right plates, bowls, and utensils to serve the food. Wedding-appropriate <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/outdoor/outdoor-dining-entertaining/10584">outdoor dining and entertaining</a> dinnerware and serveware come in both reusable and disposable designs.

decorate in style

One of the hardest parts of planning an outdoor wedding is finding the right decorations. You can't rely on just tablecloths and some pillows and blankets. Decorations for an outdoor wedding can include bridal bouquets and centerpieces made from artificial flowers. Though they look like real flowers, they never wilt and are suitable for framing later. Photo frames that you use to display some of your favorite pictures of you and your mate are another fun addition. You can even add frames to your <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a> before your bridal shower.

think about custom options

To make your wedding stand out, look for ways that you can add custom touches to your backyard. Wedding signs come in dozens of designs and allow you to add your name, your spouse's name, and your wedding date. You might pick a large sign that lets guests know the location of the ceremony and another one that tells them where to park. You'll also find custom signs for your tables and vases that you can use for your centerpieces.

Planning a backyard wedding requires the right furniture and decorations to make your day even more special. Looking at backyard wedding ideas like those listed here is the best way to see what appeals to you and what will work in your space.

5 tips from Mackenzie Grimsley and Braden Galloway

Getting engaged has been so exciting, but it can also be overwhelming! With all the steps to prepare for our big day, it’s important to us to be efficient with wedding planning, including our wedding registry. Building your registry is not just about products, it’s about building a home – a place that reflects the two of you and your vision for the future. We’ve teamed up with Bed Bath & Beyond to fill our dream home and compiled our top 5 tips to help you have the best registry experience!

<h3 style="text-align: center;">1. do it together</h3> Build your registry together so both you and your fiance have input. We easily booked an in-store appointment online and went into Bed Bath & Beyond to check out products first-hand, and made a little date out of it. While there might be a lot of things on your agenda to prepare for your wedding day, it’s important to remember to slow down and enjoy each part of the process, together. Especially when it comes to your registry, you want to ensure you and your loved one are hand-in-hand curating your future home to reflect the both of you. With the in-store mode on the mobile app, we could easily scan products onto our registry and even share it with our families, because sometimes we needed an external opinion!

<h3 style="text-align: center;">2. include items in various price ranges</h3> While some guests might want to splurge on larger ticket items, some might not, so we wanted to make sure we had products in all price ranges. We absolutely recommend using Bed Bath & Beyond’s <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/weddingregistryhelpfultools?icid=_reg_loggedout_wedding_col3_tooltips" target="_self">registry price analyzer</a> to make sure you have gifts in all different price ranges so guests can pick what they are comfortable with. Plus, you will definitely need both higher- and lower-priced items in your future home! Choosing a registry with a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/GroupGifting?icid=L1_Category_Module_AmazingPerks_US_" target="_self">group gifting feature</a> is key so guests have the option to chip in on higher-priced items.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">3. check what you already have</h3> Open those old closets and look inside your packing boxes to see what products you already have, and therefore don’t need more of! That being said, we know things can get buried or overlooked, which is why we wanted to make sure we registered somewhere with easy returns. Bed Bath & Beyond offers super easy returns and exchanges for 365 days, so this way even if we do get “wedding brain” and end up with duplicates, we’re not stuck with them. Plus, Bed Bath & Beyond partnered with <a href="https://loverly.com/" target="_blank">Loverly</a> to provide wedding inspiration and registry guides which have seriously helped us ensure we’re not forgetting anything important.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">4. focus on necessities &gt; wants</h3> Yes, it can be instinctual to jump into browsing and add fun and unique products like a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/zadro-aromatherapy-towel-warmer-with-lavender-essential-oil-in-white-bamboo/5675313?skuId=69823516&registryId=551565083&giftGiver=true&isRBYRRegistryEnabled=true" target="_self">towel warmer</a> and a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simplehuman-touchless-sensor-soap-sanitizer-pump/3331937?skuId=69591048&registryId=551565083&giftGiver=true&isRBYRRegistryEnabled=true" target="_self">touchless soap dispenser</a> (which yes, we did indeed still list), but you have to prioritize must-haves first. We made ourselves pause and think, “what can’t we live without day to day?” and then listed essential products such as this <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/oxo-15-piece-stainless-steel-kitchen-utensil-set/5151188?skuId=64753911&registryId=551565083&giftGiver=true&isRBYRRegistryEnabled=true" target="_self">OXO kitchen utensil set</a>, this <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/squared-away-iron-wire-laundry-hamper-in-black-with-liner/5568767?skuId=69680976&registryId=551565083&giftGiver=true&isRBYRRegistryEnabled=true" target="_self">Squared Away laundry hamper</a>, this <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/hi-loft-luxury-pintuck-8-piece-comforter-set/5199734?skuId=65423950&registryId=551565083&giftGiver=true&isRBYRRegistryEnabled=true" target="_self">Hi-Loft comforter set</a>, a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/cuisinart-ds-induction-nonstick-hard-anodized-11-piece-cookware-set/1047239838?skuId=47239838&registryId=551565083&giftGiver=true&isRBYRRegistryEnabled=true" target="_self">Cuisinart cookware set</a> and more!

<h3 style="text-align: center;">5. don’t overload one area of your house/life</h3> Every room in your home will need to be filled and you don’t want to figure out on move-in day that you forgot essentials for a certain space (ahem - the bathroom!). We used Bed Bath & Beyond’s <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/weddingregistryhelpfultools?icid=_reg_loggedout_wedding_col3_tooltips" target="_self">interactive checklist</a> to ensure we had a solid foundation of must-have products for each room in our home. This list was a lifesaver in helping us stay on track and making certain that all spaces in our future house would be properly filled in. Plus, Bed Bath & Beyond’s new Welcome RewardsTM program gives you $150 when $1,500 is purchased off your registry, so don’t be shy about adding items you want and need! Now, it’s your turn! Go get your <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/giftregistry/createRegistryForm" target="_self">wedding registry started</a> and don’t forget to use all of our favorite perks, tools, and tips.

influencer Amanda Asad shares her wedding registry tips

Time has been going by SO fast! I can’t believe we’ve got less than two months before we move into our new house. Mohammed and I have been long distance for four years now, so we are starting from scratch when it comes to buying items together. We knew we needed to register somewhere that we could get items for every room in our house at the best possible price, which is why we were so thrilled to team up with Bed Bath & Beyond.Now that our registry is complete, we’re excited to share 5 tips and essential tools we recommend all couples utilize when creating their own wedding registry.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">1. ensure you are getting the best deals with price match promise</h3> Building your future home requires a ton of new products, which as you will find out, can really start to add up. One of our favorite perks we used while registering was <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/pricematch" target="_self">Price Match Promise</a>. If we found an item we wanted on sale or at a lower cost at another retailer, Bed Bath & Beyond simply matched the price for us. With all the wedding planning craziness, and especially in this current market, having this peace of mind was huge to us and we loved knowing we were always getting the best prices.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">2. 365-day returns and exchanges on all items will give you ordering freedom</h3> Planning your forever home is exciting and Mohammed and I added absolutely everything from our necessities to our wants on our registry for it. That being said, I know we won’t truly find out what we do or don’t need until we move in together in a few months! This is why we’re so happy Bed Bath & Beyond offers <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/WeddingRegistryAmazingPerks?icid=US_wedding_registry_LP_perks_29475" target="_self">365-day returns and exchanges</a>. With this, engaged couples can add as many products as they want with the comfort of knowing that they can easily return them at a later time, if needed. As these are products we will be using for years to come, having plenty of time to decide is huge to us.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">3. give gift-givers their own gift: free shipping over $39</h3> When it came down to setting up our registry, we wanted to make sure it would be a positive experience for not only us, but also our friends and family. It was important for us to register somewhere where buying and sending gifts was as easy and affordable as possible which was why we loved Bed Bath & Beyond’s offer for <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/WeddingRegistryAmazingPerks?icid=US_wedding_registry_LP_perks_29475" target="_self">free shipping</a> on all products over $39. The majority of the items on our registry are over that amount, so we were thrilled that people in our life could send us all of our favorite registry wishlist items at no additional cost!

<h3 style="text-align: center;">4. register somewhere with an easy-to-use mobile app + interactive checklist</h3> Even if you create your registry on your laptop, you will want to have access to it on your phone to ensure you can manage and add to it from anywhere. Mohammed and I wanted to go look at products in-store firsthand, and we were blown away by how convenient and easy the Bed Bath & Beyond app was to use on-the-go. Once Mohammed and I arrived, the app’s in-store mode feature picked up what location we were in and allowed us to just scan and add items directly to our registry. There’s also a super helpful <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/weddingregistryhelpfultools?icid=_reg_loggedout_wedding_col3_tooltips" target="_self">interactive checklist</a> that lists all of the items you need for every room in your house, so you don’t forget to add anything.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">5. group gifting allows you to register for higher-budget items, guilt-free!</h3> It is only natural that there will be a few higher-priced items you will want, or need, for your future home. Luckily, Bed Bath & Beyond offered group gifting on items $250 or more, so our friends and family could pitch in on them together. We were able to get everything we wanted this way and our loved ones were able to put in what they were comfortable with! Also, Bed Bath & Beyond has a new Welcome RewardsTM program that gives you $150 when $1,500 is purchased off your registry. We were able to surpass that and qualify for the offer with these larger priced registry items! We feel so lucky to have had such an amazing registry experience and hope you all do as well with the above tips and perks! Oh, and if you’re crazy like us and decided to plan a wedding and buy a house at the same time, you will need to check out Loverly’s wedding inspiration and planning tools to help ease the load. Bed Bath & Beyond recently partnered with <a href="https://loverly.com/" target="_blank">Loverly</a> to help newly engaged couples by offering inspiration boards, wedding planning tools, style quizzes and more. You can also get great recommendations on products to add to your registry with the Loverly shoppable registry guides!

17 last minute wedding gifts the married couple will love

Attending a wedding in a few days but still haven't decided on a gift for the newlyweds? Fortunately, there are plenty of thoughtful wedding gifts you can grab at the last minute that still exudes careful planning and attention to detail. Our guide to wedding gifts you can get in a pinch has you covered! Check out the 17 best last-minute wedding gift ideas.

1. marble cutting board

Most households have cutting boards, but few have really nice cutting boards. If you want your gift to stand out, go for marble. <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/marble-cutting-board">Marble cutting boards</a> are more hygienic than the wooden and bamboo versions. They're also exquisitely stylish and in vogue for those who follow kitchen décor trends. You just can't go wrong with a stunning pearl-white marble board.

2. outdoor dinnerware and serving sets

If you're shopping for a wedding gift at the last minute, there's a good chance someone else already snagged dinnerware from the registry. You can still grab an impressive gift in this category. Couples rarely think to register for <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/outdoor/outdoor-dining-entertaining/outdoor-dinnerware-serveware/12680">outdoor dinnerware</a> because they're so focused on getting their cabinets properly stocked. Gorgeous, durable melamine dinnerware sets and serving platters will give the couple a great option when hosting outdoor parties and cookouts for years to come.

3. picture frames

Newlyweds are officially in memory-creation mode. That means they can never have enough picture frames. The beautiful picture frames you pick out today will display photos of pets, kids, new homes, vacations, holidays, and all the other images of loved ones and milestones that "make a life." A show-stopping gift like a crystal picture frame is likely to become a family keepsake. If you're unsure about a couple's personal style, acrylic picture frames help you avoid a style commitment.

4. smart accessories

If you're buying wedding gifts for a couple with a home, consider giving them some home-enhancing smart features. Smart doorbells, smart thermostats, voice-powered audio systems, smart shower curtains, and wireless outdoor speakers are just some of the high-tech gifts for couples. Going smart is a wise way to give a couple a gift that nobody else has thought of.

5. beverage dispenser

A gorgeous glass beverage dispenser with a spigot that sits on a stand is always a hit. Glass dispensers are great because they allow hosts to offer a self-serve drink station featuring tasty lemonade, iced tea, fruit-infused water, or mixed drinks. In addition to putting beautiful elixirs on display, the design ensures that the host always knows when refill time is near. Rest assured that this is something couples will use every time they host.

6. extra bedding and linens

You're not too late to hop on <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bedding/10001">bedding</a>
if someone else already picked up the main set a couple has on their registry. In fact, you can use the size requested on the registry to select a gorgeous backup style for the couple. Nobody lives with just one bedding set. A backup set is great for laundry day. Don't forget that guest bedrooms need bedding, too. You can also consider a gorgeous quilt or blanket that complements the set on the couple's registry if you want to stay on theme.

7. tea drawer

A tea drawer or tea box organizer is the ultimate "cozy" wedding gift. In addition to being ornamental, this gift is a practical way to help a couple display their tea without cluttering the kitchen. Tea carousels, lockers, shelves, and boxes are all delightful. Consider putting together an entire "tea suite" by adding matching mugs, a tea ball, and some delicious tea bags to the gift.

8. sensor-activated trash can

If you're shopping for a practical wedding gift idea for a no-nonsense couple, consider giving them a life upgrade with the kitchen hack known as the sensor-activated trash can. Why are these great? Nobody wants to tangle with a trash-can lid when their hands are full in the kitchen. While a couple might not think that a trash can is pretty enough to put on a registry, you can be sure that they will be singing your praises every time they enjoy hands-free trash handling in the kitchen.

9. picnic basket

A fully decked-out picnic basket built for lunch with wine in the park is such a romantic gift for newlyweds. You'll be on their mind every time they take it out for a picture-perfect afternoon picnic, concert in the park, or sunset cheese-and-crackers spread on the beach. Make sure you're really pampering the couple with a large picnic basket with a padded interior, compartments for utensils, and handles for easy carrying.

10. robot vacuum

A <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/storage-cleaning/vacuums-floor-care/robotic-vacuums/12240">robot vacuum</a> is the next best thing to hiring a housekeeper. We think this is one of the best last-minute wedding gifts because it's highly practical and perfect for busy couples. Want to make it more personal? Include a note letting the newlyweds know that you chose this gift because you want them to spend more time enjoying life instead of cleaning!

11. bonfire pit

Show a newly married couple how to keep the flame going with a bonfire pit. Have you seen these cool portable fire pits? They're ideal because they offer all the warmth, ambiance, and marshmallow-roasting potential of a traditional fire pit with none of the work. In fact, a stainless-steel pit leaves essentially no smoke or ash. It's a perfect gift for a couple that likes to blend quaint and outdoorsy with neat and aesthetically pleasing.

12. casserole dish

A ceramic or stoneware casserole dish can be the beginning of a lifetime of savory home-cooked meals. Unlike many fly-by-night pans, a high-quality casserole dish bakes food to perfection while also looking beautiful at serving time. Choose a casserole dish with a bright, bold color to make your gift really stand out.

13. weekender bag

Do you happen to know that the couple you're shopping for is going on a fabulous honeymoon after the big day? Consider getting them an attractive and sturdy weekender bag that will come in handy during their travels. You can even go for matching weekender bags to ensure that the couple is jetting around in style.

14. espresso maker

Is the lucky couple honeymooning in Europe? With a nice <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/coffee-tea/espresso-machines/12054">espresso maker</a>, the newlyweds can relive their memories of spending lazy afternoons hopping from café to café whenever they want. And if they aren't already espresso fanatics, a barista machine with settings for cappuccinos and lattes could convert them. This is a splashy, sophisticated gift that keeps on giving with every cup that's brewed.

Nobody needs to relax like a couple in the days following a whirlwind wedding experience that took months to plan. A scent diffuser is a great self-care gift for couples after they've done all the planning, corralling of the wedding party, managing of relatives, and smiling for photographs that go along with a typical wedding day. A diffuser is simply a great pick if you're looking for a small, simple gift.

16. pasta machine

This item on the list of the top last-minute wedding gift ideas is something that very few couples think to include in their registries. However, a pasta machine can create a lifetime of fun in the kitchen. Homemade pasta makers allow amateur chefs to whip up fresh spaghetti, fettuccini, angel hair, ravioli, and many more pasta styles in their own kitchens.

17. gift card

Are you completely stumped over what to give as a wedding gift at the last minute? For some couples, the best gift of all can sometimes be no gift at all. No, that doesn't mean showing up to a wedding empty-handed. One of the best last-minute wedding gift ideas if you're in the mood to "travel light" on your way to a wedding is to simply give a gift card. Many couples are relieved when they receive gift cards because they are getting the green light to spend their gift money however they choose at their favorite store. You never have to wonder about where to buy last-minute wedding gifts. It just takes a minute to snag a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/floating-nodes/gift-cards/12719">Bed Bath & Beyond gift card online</a> in the amount of your choice. Who said wedding gift giving can't be a piece of cake?

Leave the stress behind if you're looking for a wedding gift at the last minute. These much-wanted wedding gift ideas that are easy to snag in a rush will put you in the good graces of the happy couple for years to come!

6 best wedding gifts for friends that they'll actually use

When close friends are getting married, you want to avoid getting them a knickknack that they'll just shove to the back of a shelf somewhere. They're your friends, after all. And friends shouldn't buy friends useless presents. It's important to get them something they'll truly enjoy. To help you along in the process, we've broken down the best wedding gifts for friends by category. These items are both practical and thoughtful.

the best bedding gifts

One of the best wedding gift ideas for friends is <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bedding/10001">bedding</a>. Soft, cozy items to snuggle up in are sure to be a hit. The nice thing about these marriage gifts for friends is that they're endlessly practical, and they also come with some nice opportunities for personalization. 
 
If your friends are extremely pragmatic, try a quality sheet set. No matter how many sheets your friends already have, one more will be useful on laundry day or when house guests come to visit. Furthermore, this is a good opportunity to encourage practical friends to treat themselves. High-thread-count sheets add a little touch of luxury to daily living. 
 
Does your friendship with the bride or groom revolve around a lot of laughter and inside jokes? Try some fun throw pillows or throw blankets. This can be a good opportunity to pick whimsical patterns and designs that remind your friend of your favorite conversations. Whether your friend is known for their love of lemons, devotion to their pet, or passion for boating, there's a pillow or blanket for them. Cozy throw blankets and squishy pillows are incredibly versatile. Though they'll be great in the bedroom, your friend can also use them to relax in a reading nook, make a movie night more comfortable, or stay warm at a bonfire. 
 
If you want something personal but a little more elegant, you can try personalized bedding. Chic monograms are great accents for pillows, blankets, and sheets. Personalized bedding can also include heartwarming messages to celebrate your friends' new status as a married couple.

appliance gifts for newlyweds

Make your friend's daily life easier with a helpful appliance. Small appliances can be an excellent wedding gift for a best friend. They have a bit more "wow factor" than a basic coffee mug. Which appliance should you get? That will mostly depend on your friend's tastes. 
 
For the friend who hates doing chores, try a robot vacuum. This helpful little tool keeps the floor clean without requiring any daily maintenance. Every time your friend sees their little helper slide across the floor, they'll think of you. 
 
If your friend loves experimenting with gourmet cooking, you have countless excellent options to choose from. A sous vide is a great way for your friend to take their cooking to the next level. This device lets your friend make perfect steaks, easy flans, and more. For the person who loves sodas and sparkling waters, try a home sparkling water maker. Other <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/small-appliances/10517">kitchen small appliances</a> newlyweds will love include air fryers, toaster ovens, and food processors. 
 
There are also a lot of fun wedding gift ideas for friends who love tech. You can help your friend augment their home sound system with a few new speakers. Another fun option can be smart technology for lighting or thermostats.

great kitchen gift ideas

Dishes and other types of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/10002">kitchen essentials</a> are one of the most popular wedding gifts for a reason. A nice set of plates or an elegant serving tray adds a touch of class to any home, and they're a practical item everyone uses. However, if you're looking for a sentimental wedding gift for a best friend, you might be wondering whether dishes are really the best choice. The good news is that they can be. As long as you select the right style, kitchenware can be a thoughtful, meaningful gift. 
 
One of the easiest ways to make kitchenware into a wedding gift for a best friend is with personalization. For example, a popular wedding gift for a groom from his friend is a nice set of crystal tumblers engraved with his initials. Other fun ideas include "Yours, Mine, and Ours" cups or a platter engraved with the married couple's new last name. Whatever you choose, personalized kitchenware is a thoughtful and useful present. 
 
Another way to make a kitchenware gift more sentimental is picking something with a little extra class. Treat your best friend to a high-end product they wouldn't have otherwise splurged on. Something like an enamel cast iron Dutch oven or a hardwood charcuterie board helps your friend turn basic meals into special occasions. 
 
You can also use kitchenware to reference your friendship. If you and your friend bonded over your love of fine espresso, some new portafilters for their machine could be an excellent gift. For the friend that you have cookouts with, try a nice set of grill tools. The best wedding gifts for friends are ones that celebrate the things you love about your friend or love doing together.

home décor wedding gifts for friends

Even if your friends have already created a gorgeous home together, their wedding is a great opportunity to add some extra decor. Home decor is a great way to show that you truly know your friend's tastes. It's also one of the best wedding gift ideas for friends because there are lots of opportunities to add a personal touch. 
 
Memorable keepsakes like pictures and <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/frames-albums/10545">photo frames</a> are one of the sweetest presents you can give your friend. Consider finding a custom frame to display the newlyweds' names and fill it with a charming picture. Depending on your relationship with your friend, you can fill picture frames with romantic portraits of the couple, a cute hand-painted image of their home, or a collage of memories. 
 
If your friend prefers more quirky pieces, home decor is a great way to give them a one-of-a-kind present. Shop around and look for unique pieces that speak to your friend's special personality. Whether this means a fun new lamp or a charming coffee table book, the main goal is to find something they'll appreciate. The right piece of home decor stands out from a sea of functional presents, and it helps the newlyweds decorate a home that reflects their tastes. 
 
For your nature-loving friend, try plant decor. Faux or living plants are one of the most useful types of decorative wedding presents because they easily blend with any home design. To make your present even more special, consider putting it in a lovely planter with a personal message on it.

the best bath gifts

Many wedding guests focus on the kitchen when they're purchasing gifts, but <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bath/13432">bathroom products</a> are just as essential. By getting these overlooked gifts for your friends, you reduce the chance of accidentally repeating someone else's presents. When your friend is using bath mats, hand soaps, or shower curtains you picked out for them, they'll be sure to think fondly of you. 
 
Towel sets are one of the most practical wedding gifts you can get a friend. No home ever has enough towels, so this present is sure to get some use. To ensure your friend really appreciates the present, pick the nicest towels you can find. Thick, fluffy towels make an everyday shower into a special occasion. 
 
If you're looking for wedding gifts for a bride from her friend, consider a nice bath set. After dealing with all the stress of a wedding, a basket with bath bombs, face masks, and other luxuries will be a thoughtful present. The couple will enjoy a chance to relax and treat themselves to a little spa day.

organizational wedding gift ideas

If your friend values functional, sensible gifts, consider getting them some items to help organize their life. These gifts can make it easier for the bride or groom to manage all the new presents they got at their wedding. They also let the married couple know that you're looking out for them. 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/storage-cleaning/storage-organization/10555">Storage and organization</a> tools can actually be very personal when you pick the right options. As you consider wedding gift ideas for friends, consider whether the bride or groom has an activity that necessitates a little extra storage. A pal who loves makeup might appreciate clear, stackable containers to organize cosmetics. If they're just starting a side business, a file cabinet and other office accessories can be helpful. 
 
The great thing about giving storage products as a wedding gift is that your present will be in use almost constantly. There are all sorts of little day-to-day tasks that you can improve with a little organization. Spice racks, over-the-door shoe caddies, or drawer organizers can make your friend's life a little easier.

Ultimately, all of these ideas can be a great way to celebrate your friend's personal partnership. Remember that the most important thing is to choose something special. Think carefully about your friend's personality, home, and lifestyle to find the best marriage gifts for friends.

the most unforgettable wedding gifts for newlyweds

On average, about 2.5 million weddings take place annually in the United States. That figure includes everything from blowout celebrations with hundreds of guests to smaller nuptials and even elopements. No matter the size of the wedding, all newlyweds deserve wonderful gifts to commemorate their love. 
 
However, finding the perfect gift can be a real source of stress for friends and family, even if the couple created the ultimate <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a>. Sure, you can go with the classics like dinnerware and kitchen appliances. But there's a good chance that most of the guests already have those covered. 
 
Instead of settling for the ordinary, why not think outside the box? There are plenty of gifts for newlyweds that keep on giving for years to come. Here are some unique ideas for wedding gifts that the happy couple won't forget.

1. adventure-ready luggage

Who doesn't love the idea of seeing the world with their partner? For many new couples, it's the ultimate life goal. 

Traditionally, newlyweds will go on a big honeymoon following their nuptials. It's a time to pack their bags, get away from it all, and enjoy each other's company in paradise. A good set of luggage is a must, so why not be the one to gift it?

There are many reasons why <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/more/luggage/10580">luggage</a> is the perfect unforgettable gift.

First, it's something that the loving couple can use immediately after the wedding. While everyone else's present will likely stay in storage, yours will be something the newlyweds can put to good use right off the bat. 

Gift luggage that's big enough to accommodate the length of their honeymoon, and it'll immediately get them pumped for the upcoming adventure. But that's not all. 

Dependable luggage can get years of use. There are many well-made suitcases at Bed Bath & Beyond. From hard-shelled sets that hold weeks' worth of clothing to sophisticated leather totes, they can hold up well past the first big adventure. 

Eventually, their luggage collection will take on a life of its own, reminding the couple to spend more leisure time together and live life with a bit of whimsy.

Plus, vacations don't always have to be extravagant journeys. Short getaways or even a weekend trip to a nearby destination are enough to create lasting memories. Be a part of those experiences by giving luggage that works for any holiday your friends can fit in. Instead of a large suitcase, you can stick to an elegant shoulder bag, a weekender duffel, or a compact carry-on.

Whatever you choose, that luggage accompanies the newlyweds on every trip they take. Your gift is there to hold every recollection, becoming a symbol of love and adventure.

luggage sets built to last 
Bed Bath & Beyond has no shortage of great luggage options. You can buy separates and find individual pieces that cater to the couple's wanderlust. However, a matching set can cover all the couple's bases.

Most luggage sets come with two or three pieces, and some provide more. They might have a couple of larger check-in suitcases paired with a convenient carry-on for the essentials. Either way, you're giving the newlyweds plenty of options of how they want to travel.

Whether they prefer to bring everything or keep it light, a matching luggage set provides that flexibility. Even if they choose to take it all, the matching style makes everything easier to spot and manage.

Invest in the very best and find durable luggage sets built to last. Provide the gift of safety and protection with hard-side spinners. The wheels make navigating airports and train terminals a breeze.

Alternatively, you can go classic with soft-side suitcases that expand with the addition of souvenirs. You'll even see nesting sets that save space when it's time to come home.

Since there are so many styles and colors available, you may have trouble making a selection. Choosing a style/color can be as simple as finding one that matches the couple's personality.

don't forget about the extras 
Want to go the extra mile? Throw in a few accessories to give your couple everything they need to go on their next adventure. 
 
It's not just the luggage they need. Traveling requires tons of organization and even more convenience. 
 
Throw in some extra <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/travel-accessories">travel accessories</a> like toiletry bags, packing cubes, and fanny packs. You can even add comfort items like travel pillows, eye masks, and earplugs — whatever it takes to keep the newlyweds happy and comfortable as they make their way to their destination!

2. frames and pictures showcase life's beautiful moments

One of the most wonderful things about starting a life with someone you love is the chance to log a lifetime of memories. These days, with smartphone cameras, printed photos are becoming an afterthought.

Photo frames and albums make fantastic newlywed gifts because it gives your friends the chance to print out photos, preserve memories, and put them on display for all to see. 

There's no better decor than photos of the happy couple, and it’s the perfect thing to infuse personality into a home.

Bed Bath & Beyond has plenty of gift-worthy photo displays. You can go simple with sets in a range of sizes. Gifting several <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/frames-albums/wall-frames/13163">wall frames</a> in one package makes it easy for the couple to create a trendy gallery wall. Mix and match sizes and provide the opportunity to put those pricey wedding photos to good use.

Alternatively, you can try pre-made collages, gallery kits, modern print displays, or tabletop frames. Whatever the case may be, frames are a functional gift that can remain in the couple's home for decades to come.

going digital
If you want to keep things simple, digital frames are an excellent route to go, too. While not as in-your-face as massive gallery wall kits, digital frames have one significant advantage: convenience. 
 
With so many people relying on digital files as it is, these frames make swapping out photos and updating displays a breeze. Plus, they create an ever-changing collection of photos. The couple can add new images as the years go by, building a slideshow of memories they can look back on fondly.

getting started
Want to ensure that the newlyweds put your gift to use? Fill the frames and start their display for them! 

Pick up a display-ready collage and fill it with photos they'll love. You can even fill up a memory card and pop it into a digital frame to make it immediately ready for use. If possible, find images taken by you or someone else they know and like. Pictures that the couple doesn't already have will garner the most attention and appreciation. 

They'll love your gift the moment they unwrap it, and it'll likely earn a spot on their wall as soon as it gets home!

3. furniture that turns a house into a home

Once the wedding and honeymoon are over, and the newlyweds return to their everyday lives, the first challenge they'll face is creating a home to share. That's where you come in. 

Instead of providing dinnerware or kitchen appliances, why not give the gift of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/furniture/13492">furniture</a>? That might sound a little over the top, but it's one of the most unforgettable wedding gifts you can provide. Why? It gives the couple a chance to build a home that's truly theirs.

Furniture is a functional gift that the newlyweds will use every day. Thanks to the many options at Bed Bath & Beyond, finding something the happy couple needs isn't hard.

Stick with the staple pieces and leave the accessorizing up to the couple. You can also give something unique your friends never realized they wanted, such as a bar cart or buffet console. Bed Bath & Beyond has it all.

Providing furniture bridges style gaps and bring two homes together. You might not realize the significance right away, but furniture is a gift that can turn a static space into a loving home that perfectly represents the couple. Not only that, but it's something that sticks around for decades.

merging two styles
Gifting furniture isn't easy. You have two distinct styles to work with and finding that happy medium can be daunting. But that's the beauty of marriage.

When selecting furniture from Bed Bath & Beyond, find items that encapsulate the personalities of both people. The goal is to find something both will love.

If possible, check out their separate styles and see what they like. Learn more about their favorite colors and finishes. Focus on the similarities and highlight what makes this couple click.

Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Maybe try mid-century modern pieces or contemporary farmhouse style. There's a lot to discover, and the mixing of aesthetics can help you find trendy furniture that fits the couple to a tee.

focus on rooms that matter
Don't worry: You don't have to fill the couple's entire home with new furniture. A single piece is more than enough. But what type of furniture should you choose?

Essential furniture pieces are the ones that serve as the foundation of family memories. We're talking about items that people use every day and the pieces that anchor a room.

You can gift a sofa that acts as the perfect backdrop for movie nights in their living room. Alternatively, you can provide a dining set for a growing family's daily meals or a kitchen island for whipping up new dishes. These furniture items serve the most purpose.

The key to giving a gift that the couple will cherish for a lifetime is choosing furniture that they can use to create loving memories.

4. smart gadgets to build a connected home

Weddings are the epitome of tradition. But that doesn't mean you have to provide an old-school gift. 
 
Some of the most extraordinary gifts for newly married couples harness technology to make life easier. We've already talked about the importance of turning a house into a shared home. But why not make that home a little more intelligent? 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/14893">Smart home gadgets</a> are all the rage, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down soon. A decade ago, intelligent homes seemed like a far-fetched image of science fiction bliss. But today, that reality is super accessible. 
 
These gadgets can do a lot to make the newlyweds' life much easier. They can make homes safer, more comfortable, and better connected. 
 
The sky's the limit, and technology is getting better and better with every passing year. At Bed Bath & Beyond, there are plenty of smart home devices to bring your newlyweds into the 21st century!

smart assistants
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/voice-assistants/14896">Smart assistants</a>
are an excellent place to start. They act as the hub of most systems and serve as the command center for other accessories. 
 
See if your couple already uses one. Because many smartphones and tablets have assistants built in, they might already be part of one of the "Big Three" ecosystems. Figure out what that is to find products that are compatible and easy to implement. 
 
The cool thing about high-tech assistants is that they come in many different forms. Is your couple a fan of music? Try giving them a connected speaker. Speakers can let the pair jam out in marital bliss. Plus, they can provide an easy way to make shopping lists, control other intelligent features, and more. 
 
If the newlyweds have plenty of experience with this technology, you can gift an intelligent hub with a built-in screen. Either way, these gifts are always a hit.

cameras and security
Security technology can do a lot to make a home feel warm and safe. Gone are the days of traditional security systems. Now, homeowners can keep tabs on their domain from anywhere. Thanks to wireless cameras and streaming technology, securing a home has never been easier. You have plenty of camera options available. Buy complete multi-camera sets the couple can use to cover the entire perimeter of the house. Doorbell cameras and motion-activated units are available, too. You can even gift indoor cameras that double as baby monitors and recordable memory capturers.

convenience and function
If you want to go way outside the box, you can be an early investor in some truly innovative technology. Smart homes are about more than security. Many gadgets offer a world of convenient and state-of-the-art functionality. 
 
For example, you can gift an intelligent thermostat. The devices help automate temperature to save electricity and keep things cozy. Alternatively, there are robotic vacuums and cleaners. They take the hassle out of keeping homes spotless. 
 
Those are just a few examples of what's possible. No matter what smart tech you get, it's sure to make a splash and become a part of the couple's everyday life.

5. at-home spa goods for keeping romance alive

Who doesn't love a chance to pamper themselves? The world is chaotic enough. A few minutes of peace can help partners unwind and get closer than ever before.

Spa gifts are the perfect way to create a relaxing space at home. They can set the stage for ongoing romance and remind the couple to keep the love alive despite life's stresses.

There are limitless possibilities when designing the perfect spa gift.

Include items for indulging in the senses, like aromatic lotions and potions. Then, provide goods that relieve tension from the daily grind. For example, you can toss in a feature-rich foot bath or a cramp-busting massager.

Gifts that create a spa experience at home never fail to please!

lavish bath linens
The most accessible spa-related present you can provide is luxurious linens. We're talking about plush towels, elegant robes, and other lavish soft surfaces. Bed Bath & Beyond has plenty of bathroom towels and linens that embody relaxation.

As a gift, go for opulent bathroom sets. Higher thread counts, premium materials, and beautiful designs will set your wedding present apart from their everyday linens. 

Throw some cozy slippers, plush bathmats, and spa headbands, and the couple is ready to melt the stress away.

innovative spa gadgets
Once again, technology saves the day. Spa gadgets are unique. They're not super connected and don't serve many purposes outside of relaxation. But that single-purpose design can push the couple to use them and create those memorable spa experiences.

Try gifting gadgets like bathtub bubble makers, noise machines, or massagers. Mood-setting gadgets like scent diffusers, steamers, and even colorful lights are available, too.

For quick relaxation sessions, you can gift gadgets they can use at home, work, or even on the go! Good examples include massaging shoulder wraps, heated blankets, and more.

6. personalized products to record history

Our last gift idea is the definition of one-of-a-kind. There's nothing better than opening a personalized gift. It instantly brings a smile to anyone's face and immediately becomes a priceless keepsake. 
 
After the wedding, your couple will likely have a treasure trove of small trinkets to remember the big day. But most of those things will stay locked up in storage. 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/personalized-gifts/personalized-wedding-gifts/14019">Personalized newlywed gifts</a> are items your couple can display immediately out of the box. They're tokens of their special day and a reminder of their undying love for one another. Because they are custom-made, there's a good chance that your newlyweds will hold onto your gift for as long as they can.

functional gifts to entertain

You can't go wrong with a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/personalized-gifts/13807?icid=glb_global_fly_L2_link_PersonalizedGifts_13807">personalized gift</a>, but there are many great choices at Bed Bad & Beyond. Some of the best are those that serve a specific function. Every time the couple uses the item will be a small reminder of you and the wedding. 
 
Try giving gifts that focus on entertainment. For example, you can customize a cocktail set that the newlyweds use whenever they celebrate a big moment. Or, you can give a kitchen item adorned with their initials. That way, they can enjoy the gift every time they cook together.

custom pieces to decorate the home
Personalized home goods never fail to please. There's something special about splashing names, initials, and wedding photos at every turn. You can buy custom artwork, yard decorations, and more. There's also the option to personalize linens like towels, robes, and other items the couple uses regularly. If you want to provide a functional present that helps the couple make memories, consider getting them a custom blanket or throw pillows. The newlyweds can wrap themselves up in custom-made elegance as they enjoy each other's company and share the love.

Finding memorable newlywed gifts doesn't have to be a complicated process. Put yourself in the couple's shoes and think about the meaning of marriage. It's the start of a lifelong union and a journey full of magic and love. 
 
The best presents are the ones that play a part in the couple's grand adventure. Whether it's luggage that encourages them to have new experiences together or custom artwork that symbolizes the beauty of their relationship, these gifts are ones that newlyweds can hold dear well into their future.

build a better bed from the ground up
