FAQ: Creating Your Wedding Registry on The Knot

What is a registry profile on The Knot?

A registry profile on The Knot is a couple's easy-to-navigate homebase for managing their wish list.

The registry Shop tab of your The Knot profile displays your number of gifts, how many have been purchased, your number of cash funds and how much has been contributed to your cash funds, plus next steps and ideas for completing your registry.

As you click through the other The Knot profile sections, you'll be able to see all registry items under the Manage tab. This handy page groups all of your registry items from multiple stores in one place for easy sharing and management. Click on "View as guest" in the top right-hand corner for a sneak peek of what your loved ones will see when they're directed to your registry via your wedding website.

Other helpful tabs in your The Knot registry profile include a Track Gifts page for keeping tabs on who bought what and a Settings tab where you can add a note for guests, edit your shipping address and, arguably most importantly, find your shareable registry link.

Which gifts and brands can I register for with The Knot?

On The Knot, you can register for gifts from hundreds of top brands in one place for easy guest shopping. Some of the most popular brands carried by The Knot Registry include KitchenAid, Brooklinen, Parachute, Le Creuset, YETI, Dyson, Caraway, All-Clad and more. Consult the checklist of registry items created by The Knot.

The Knot gives you the freedom to curate a unique wedding registry that reflects your tastes and interests. The Knot allows you to add items from anywhere online to your registry with its Universal Registry and the cash funds, gift cards and experience gifts available directly on The Knot Registry.

Which store registries partner with The Knot?

The Knot has numerous partner store registries, which means you can create and sync your favorite store registry to The Knot registry as long as you use the same email address. Said another way, all your gift ideas will be in one accessible place that's easy for guests to shop. Here's where you can plan to look for presents:

• Amazon
• Anthropologie
• Belk
• Bloomingdale's
• Crate & Barrel
• Etsy
• GoFundMe
• Macy's
• Sur La Table
• Target
• Traveler's Joy

Couples can round out their physical registry gifts with gift cards, experiences and cash funds, all of which they can add directly on The Knot in a consolidated, easy to navigate list.

How do I link my other registries to The Knot?

Partner store registries automatically sync to The Knot Registry when you use an identical email address across both accounts. Just log in to your The Knot account, drop the link for the store registry page you would like to create and then it'll automatically connect. For example, an affiliated registry created on Amazon or Target will automatically appear on The Knot Registry dashboard within 72 hours. This way, guests can see everything at once.

For all other stores that are not The Knot partners, you can manually add links to those separate registries so they're easy for guests to navigate to.

If your store registry isn't appearing for any reason (e.g. you used a different email address), you can manually add it instead. Simply select Add Store Registries in the black navigation bar. Scroll down to "Link Your Store Registries" and select the specific store from the dropdown menu. From there, paste the URL for that registry into the text box and select "Link Registry."

If you have a registry with a store that's not a The Knot partner, you can add that to your profile manually. Follow the same instructions as before, but instead of selecting a specific retailer, choose "Add Another Store." You'll be prompted to add the name of the store and a link to your registry.

Does The Knot Registry charge a fee?

The Knot Registry is completely free for couples to use, meaning couples will never be charged to create a registry with The Knot. Couples can also set up a free wedding website on The Knot, which will sync automatically with their registry and be an easy one stop shop for your guests

You may have heard about cash fund fees for guests, which are standard with credit card payments. However, when you register with The Knot, your guests can actually avoid them. Guests are given the flexibility to choose how they contribute to The Knot Cash Funds, and couples can use them to register for what's truly important, like a honeymoon or new home. If a credit card payment is most convenient, a guest is charged the standard 2.5% processing fee. If fee-free gifting is a priority, The Knot offers no-fee payment options through Venmo (via their Venmo balance or linked bank account).*

Can I add my wedding website link to my registry profile?

If you created your wedding website and registry with The Knot, your registry will automatically display on your wedding website and vice versa. In other words, when you use The Knot, your guests have access to everything they need—from wedding details to wedding gift options—through one single link. Of course, you can choose to hide your registry page on your The Knot wedding website at any time by updating your display settings, or password protect it at any time.

FAQ: Managing Your Wedding Registry on The Knot

How do I add items to my registry on The Knot?

To add items to your The Knot Registry, simply browse The Knot's comprehensive gift collections and click the "+" button on the bottom-right corner of product images. If you want to learn more about a particular item before adding it, click on the product to see more images, read its description and even browse reviews. Then select the "Add To Registry" button on the product's page.

Scroll down within your Shop page until you see the heading "Add anything from anywhere." Then drag the "Add to The Knot" button directly from the page to your bookmarks bar. Now, you can add anything to your The Knot Registry.

How can I edit my name or wedding date on my registry profile?

To change your name or wedding details in your The Knot Registry profile, log in and then click on "Your Account" in the top right-hand corner. To update personal information like your name and address, go to "Account Settings." If you want to edit the date or location of your wedding (which also appears for guests on your registry), go to "Wedding Details." Just make sure you save any changes afterward.

As an extension of our partnership with the top registry retailers, we make it easy for your family and friends to find all of your registries in one convenient spot. To ensure that the name and wedding date on your store registries are current, make sure each retailer has the most up-to-date information in their system. Remember, it may take up to 72 hours for any changes to appear on your The Knot Registry profile. If you've updated your information with your retailer and it's still not appearing on your profile, contact The Knot customer service at help@theknot.com for guidance.

With The Knot Gift Advisor, couples don't have to worry about filling in the gaps themselves, they can simply register for the core gifts they love, then trust the personalized recommendations to round out their registry with new ideas based on what they already love at the price points they're missing.

Can guests split the cost of gifts on The Knot Registry?

Guests can easily split the cost of gifts on The Knot Registry using the Shared Gifting function. The Knot Shared Gifting allows multiple guests to divvy up the cost of a big-ticket item,one guest purchases the gift and after check-out they can use Venmo to collect contributions from others. The Knot Shared Gifting is a guest-friendly way for couples to register for big-ticket gifts without the guilt of assuming one guest has to cover the cost for the entire thing, so you can register for what you truly want without worrying about the total cost.

How do I unlink synced registries from The Knot?

To unlink synced registries from The Knot, log in and go to the Manage tab in the top navigation menu. Then, at the top of the page, there will be a list of your linked stores. If you select the retailer you want to remove from your wish list, a "Store Details" window will appear. To hide (but not delete) a store registry from The Knot, click on the toggle under "Store Visibility" to conceal that particular retailer on your registry. If you want to remove it from your wedding wish list altogether, select "Remove This Store From Your Registry."

Can I mark gifts as purchased on The Knot Registry?

The Knot Registry will automatically mark gifts as purchased as guests checkout, so there's no need to keep track yourself. We do our best to make sure we're always showing you the most up-to-date purchase status, but if it looks like something's out of date, try refreshing the page or referring to the stores's website for the latest information on purchase status. For store registries, it can take between a few hours to a few days for purchase information to be updated depending on the retailer, especially if guests are shopping in-store.

Can I update a partner store registry from within my registry profile?

While you can add, hide and remove retailer registries using your profile on The Knot, any updates to your registry items need to be made on the stores's website or in their stores. From there, we aim to update any changes to your registry profile ASAP—you might just need to refresh the page to see them.

Can I remove items from my registry?

If the item you want to remove was added from The Knot Registry or using your "Add to The Knot" browser button, you can easily delete it from your wish list within your The Knot profile. Go to Manage in your registry profile, click on the item you want to remove to bring up the "Gift details" window, then select "Remove." However, to remove items from a retailer registry, you'll need to log into your account with that retailer.

FAQ: Sharing Your Wedding Registry on The Knot

Can I make my registry private or password protected?

You can't password protect or hide your registry on The Knot without doing the same to your wedding website. The guest view of your registry is always accessible unless you make your entire wedding website unsearchable. Naturally, we don't recommend doing this as it could pose a challenge for loved ones wanting to browse the wish list you spent hours thoughtfully putting together. Guests can find it easily by searching your names, wedding month and year on The Knot's wedding registry search page.

How do I share my registry on The Knot?

In addition to automatically syncing to your wedding website, you can manually share your wedding registry by going to your registry profile settings and selecting "Copy Link" under your registry URL. From there, it's up to you where you want to share it.

Can I choose which registries I want to display?

You have complete control over which of your synced wedding registries on The Knot are shown to guests. As mentioned above, you can hide linked stores under the Manage tab of your profile. Simply hide the ones you don't want to share and leave the ones you do.

Can guests view my registry if they're not members of The Knot?

Yes, your guests can view and purchase items from your registry on The Knot without having their own account. It's just one of the many guest-friendly ways we make the registry experience a breeze for you and your loved ones.

How do I delete my registry from The Knot?

To delete your The Knot Registry after your wedding has passed, please contact The Knot customer service at help@theknot.com with your registry link and the email associated with your account. They will then permanently delete your registry from The Knot search results and search engines. To duplicate this change for registries you've synced from other retailers, you'll need to log into your account with each retailer or contact their customer service departments. We don't recommend doing this until a year after your wedding date since gift etiquette says guests have up to one year to send you a present.
