Any other international couples struggling with how to do a registry?

Jennifer, on May 9, 2021 at 7:00 PM Posted in Registry 0 4

I’m American but my fiancé is English. We live in the UK but are getting married in the states near my family. Since we live in the UK, all the items that you’d usually want to put on a registry would need to be bought in the UK or on UK websites. Unfortunately most UK stores require a UK post code for your billing address at checkout, which makes it super difficult for us to make a wedding registry since most of our wedding guests are American (and thus won’t have UK post codes).

We’re going to register on Amazon UK, but there’s only so much stuff you can pick online sight unseen. Any one else having international couple wedding registry issues? I’m open to ideas!

    In all fairness, love, I probably wouldn't register for gifts if I were you.

    Not registering typically means people gift you with checks. Providing you have an american (or, at least, a transferrable bank account from my own personal experience) account, you should be okay. It definitely gets annoying when people trying to gift you with something that isn't available in their/your country.

    I would avoid a registry all together. If you have a local shower in the UK you can create a registry there, otherwise guests will just gift $$.

    Yeah, I third it.
    But if you really want one, can you put delivery to your parent’s house in the US and then they consolidate and ship to you?

    Thanks all! I was originally thinking that as well, but my mom wants to hold a shower for me in the US. I might just do a small registry for the shower on Amazon UK.
