Creating a wedding registry is surprisingly harder than one would think. At least it was for me. I always thought it would be a blast to run around stores with the scanner gun and just add to the list, but when it came time for me to do that, I froze. Did I really want fine China? (Nope) Would we ever use an ice cream maker? (Heck yes) The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card. 

Mike handed me the reigns when it came to our wedding registry. One of my big concerns was adding expensive items. For some reason, I felt greedy, or pushy. That thought was ridiculous considering how many times I have pitched in on gifts with my friends for other friends’ showers. People love group gifting. It’s awesome to be able to send one person to the store, grab a big amazing gift, and sign several names to the card. The wedding registry at Best Buy makes giving as a group even easier. Guests can go online and contribute the amount they choose to go towards bigger gifts. It’s beyond easy and time saving, plus the bride and groom get to check a big ticket item off their list. It’s a win all around.

5 Wedding Registry Ideas for a Smart Home

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that you can register for your wedding at Best Buy? That’s seriously too cool. Here are my top five choices for couples looking to create a connected home.

5 Wedding Registry Ideas for a Smart Home

  • Belkin – WeMo Insight Switch: Allows you to turn your home electronics on or off from your smartphone.
  • Chamberlain – MyQ Garage Door Controller: Works with most garage door openers made after 1993. Control your garage door from your mobile device.
  • August – Smart Lock Bluetooth Keyless Home Entry: For use with most standard deadbolts, control your locks from your smartphone.
  • NETGEAR – Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router: Up to 3.2 Gbps data transfer rates, so no one hogs the internet. That’s an argument newlyweds don’t need. 😉
  • Crock-Pot – 6-Quart WeMo Enabled Smart Slow Cooker: Remote access to cooking functions. Just when you think slow cooking couldn’t get better. How did I just find out this exists?

So, now that I officially want to re-register for our wedding, those are my picks for any fellow gadget-lovers to add to their wedding registry. Most of them are ideal for group gifting. Of course, you want to add items within a variety of price ranges. Best Buy has handy checklists for each room to help you register for everything you need.

Most importantly, have fun! The wedding registry can be an enjoyable time as a couple, so have a blast with it.

Have you or will you be creating a wedding registry anytime soon?

    I never thought of registering for things like this (although we’re already married now) but what a great idea! Ways to save money in the future making your home more efficient. That router looks awesome!

    No registry for me, but these are great ideas for a Smart Home wedding registry. I think it is good to try and get different things on the list for wedding gifts. I like the easy Crock pot cooking idea.

    I didn’t know that crock pots were made phone accessible. Neat.

    No, I won’t be creating a registry anytime soon, but I must say the August – Smart Lock Bluetooth Keyless Home Entry freaks me out. I totally think that someone can hack into it to open your doors.

    That sounds like an awesome crock pot! All of these products are pretty awesome, actually!

    It would be fun to do a register like this! There was nothing like this back when I got married! I put DVD’s on my wedding registry if that tells you how long ago I got married!

    Who knew you could remote access a crock pot? I know many people who would love one of these.

    My daughter is getting married next year, so this is on my radar now. I love the idea of adding smart home items to your registry.

    I felt the same way when we did our wedding registry. I had all of these ideas and then when it came time to do it I was a blank and second guessing every decision. I love that Best Buy makes giving as a group easy – that way you don’t feel guilty about registering for larger items!

    Now this is a great list. I know I had a crock pot on my wedding registry… They didn’t have the keyless entry available when I got married, but I could see asking for it for our anniversary. LOL

    I love living in the future! I want all of this stuff for myself, seriously.

    Ooo I would love to get the door lock We already have a number operated lock, but a smartphone one would be even better.

    Oh yeah these would be great gifts. I really like that WeMo insight switch. It would come in handy even now!

    We have MyQ and Netgear and I highly recommend both! Bluetooth entry is on my wish list right now too!

    My time for a wedding registry is long past! I wish we had things like this when I was making mine though!

    We just got a WeMo which is pretty cool for the house. It is a fun way to add a useful item to a registry.

    Those are great picks. I would want the crockpot for myself. 🙂
