23 Things to Put on Your Registry When You Already Have *Everything*

It's no secret that couples are waiting longer to get married these days. According to The Knot 2020 Real Wedding Survey, the average American walks down the aisle at age 32—well after they've likely lived on their own and have stocked up on *all the things.* (Sound familiar?) If you're stumped about what to put on your wedding registry when you already have everything, you're not alone. But while some couples might take that as a sign to skip a wedding registry altogether—creating a wishlist for your big day can still come in handy, not just for you, but also for your guests.

Remember: A wedding registry doesn't have to be about outfitting your new home with all the essentials, like new plates and silverware. If your kitchen's already well-equipped with all the cookware and kitchen gadgets you can handle, then you don't have to register for new ones just because you feel pressured to. That said, it's smart to take a good look around at what you and your partner do need, because you might be surprised.

FEATURED VIDEO FROM THE KNOT

Sure, you might have some nice dinnerware in your cabinets, but do you have enough place settings to host a family gathering or holiday dinner? Your pots and pans collection may be getting the job done now, but if you've been using them since college—long before you knew to look for healthy, non-toxic cookware—they've probably seen better days.

The truth is, you may think you have everything you need for your home, but it may be time for a refresh or upgrade (and maybe even a Marie Kondo-style purge of your closets). There could also be some big-ticket items you've held off on buying for years, simply because you felt too guilty to splurge at the time (like that Le Creuset Dutch oven you've been lusting after for years). Now's your chance to take inventory of what you have—pay attention to what you don't, and outfit your new home with things that reflect the life you lead now. It's also a good opportunity to look for decor and other home goods that may not fit a "traditional" registry but would sure make your life easier.

Cash Fund

If the last thing you want to get on your wedding day is just more stuff to clutter up your home, why not start a cash fund your wedding guests can contribute to? Through The Knot Registry, you can create everything from a honeymoon fund to a house fund, the latter of which will come in handy when it comes time to make that future downpayment.

Charitable Donation

If you're not looking for anything material on your big day, consider making a charitable donation your only registry gift option by creating a GoFundMe Registry through The Knot. Doing so gives you a chance to raise awareness (and money) for some of your favorite causes and gives loved ones a little something they can feel good about, too. In other words, it's a win-win!
