How to Find Someone’s Amazon Wedding Registry
If you’ve been invited to a wedding and want to buy a gift via the Amazon Wedding Registry, locating the couple’s registry is easier than ever — as long as the registry is public and searchable. Here’s how you as a guest can find someone’s registry step-by-step, plus what to do if you can’t find it.
Why it’s helpful to find their Amazon registry
- You’ll know exactly what items the couple has asked for instead of guessing.
- The registry shows items already purchased so you avoid duplicates.
- Amazon often offers perks (free shipping, easy returns) for items from the registry.
- You’ll feel confident that you’re shopping the “right list” rather than impromptu.
Step-by-step: How to find a couple’s Amazon wedding registry
Here’s how to do it, both on desktop and mobile.
On Desktop
- Go to Amazon and sign in to your account.
- Hover over “Account & Lists” and under “Your Lists”, click “Find a List or Registry”. (About Amazon)
- Once on the Registry & Gifting page, choose “Find a Registry” (sometimes listed under “Find a Wedding Registry”). (About Amazon)
- Enter the couple’s first name, last name, select the registry type “Wedding Registry,” and (optionally) the state or event date to narrow results. (Cost of Shopping)
- If the registry is “public”, it should appear in the search results. Click it to browse the list of gifts.
On the Amazon Mobile App
- Open the Amazon app and sign in.
- Tap the menu (three horizontal lines) → “Gifting & Registry” → “Registry & Gift List”. (About Amazon)
- Tap “Find a registry” and follow the same steps: enter the couple’s name, select “Wedding Registry”, add optional filters like state or date.
- Tap the result to view their registry if available.
What to do if you can’t find it
- The couple might have set their registry to Private or Shareable link only, which means it won’t show in the public search. (Cost of Shopping)
- The names might be misspelled; ask the couple (or a family member) for the correct spelling and the state they registered in.
- The couple may have created the registry but not published it yet. You could gently ask them to share the link.
- They might have used another retailer in addition to or instead of Amazon. Check the wedding website or invitation for hints.
Guest etiquette tips
- Once you find the registry, choose an item within your budget — registries often contain a mix of price points.
- Favor items that are labelled “Still available” (i.e., not yet purchased) to avoid duplicates.
- Check shipping address: often the registry has pre-set the delivery address for you, saving guesswork.
- Leave a note (many times Amazon allows a “gift message”) so the couple knows who gifted it.
- After giving the gift, send a thank you message promptly — a nice gesture of appreciation.
Final Thoughts
Finding someone’s Amazon Wedding Registry is straightforward if the couple has made it public and searchable. By using Amazon’s built-in Find a Registry tool, you’ll save time, avoid gift duplication, and give something the couple truly wants. If you don’t locate the registry, it’s okay to reach out politely and ask for their link.
