How to set up an Amazon Wedding List
Putting together a wedding list can be a challenge. Does the store you want to use have all the products that will help you start your new lives together? Is it easy for people to access and are the prices competitive? Well, one places where all these questions get a definite yes is Amazon, so you’ll be glad to know that it now offers the service. Here’s how to set up a wedding list on Amazon.
What is the Amazon Wedding List?
Just like with the classic high-street shops, the Amazon Wedding List allows you to put together a wish-list of gifts you’d like your family and friends to buy you, each of which is removed once it’s been purchased, so you don’t end up with ten toasters and no cutlery. It’s publicly available on the Amazon site, so people can easily find it and buy you something for your special day, plus you can send a link that will take people directly to the list.
How to create an Amazon Wedding List
Setting up your wedding list on Amazon is very easy. Open your browser and go to theAmazon wedding listpage. Alternatively, you can go to your account and click onWish Listthen selectWedding Listfrom the options that appear.
Click theCreate Your Wedding Listoption then enter the details of yourself and your partner, the address you want gifts sent to, plus various other options including the date of your wedding and any special messages you’d like your guests to see.
When you’re happy with everything on this page, click theCreate my wedding listbutton.
How to add items to your Amazon Wedding List
Now you’re ready to start adding items to the list. At the top of the page you’ll see your names, how many days until the big day, plus a tally of the gifts on the list that have been bought so far and how many are remaining.
Amazon has a few ‘featured collections’ that contain popular brands and items that have proven popular with other couples, and you can check out the collections by clicking on the links.
You can also select theCategoriesoption along the top of the screen which opens up another selection of popular products related to dining, cookware, home accessories and others.
Of course, you’re not limited to these selections, as you can peruse the entirety of Amazon’s virtual aisles and add whatever you want. So, if you think that your new union would be mightily blessed by the addition of an EQD Plumes overdrive guitar pedal, then search for it and you’ll see the option toAdd to Wedding List.
How to edit your Amazon Wedding List
Once you’ve added some items to your list, you may decide that you don’t actually want them (especially that guitar pedal). To remove anything, go back to the Amazon site, move the mouse cursor overAccount & Liststhen selectWedding Listfrom the menu that appears.
Click on theYour Wedding Listoption at the top of the next page, then you’ll see all of the item currently in your list. Hover the cursor over the one you want to remove and you’ll see theEdit detailsbutton appear.
Click this then select theRemove from wedding listoption.
How to share your Amazon Wedding List
With all of your desired gifts assembled, it’s time to share the list with the world. To do this, go to your list and in the left-hand column you’ll see theShare Your Wedding Listoption. Click this and you’ll be taken to a new page that contains the link to your list.
Simply copy and paste this into an email and share it with your family and friends. That’s it, you’re good to go. Now you just have to look forward to the big day. We hope it’s wonderful!
