Your Wedding Registry Etiquette Questions Answered

Couples can register for anything on Zola. And we do mean anything. In addition to traditional home upgrades, we encourage each of our couples to request gifts that aren't just practical, but that also make them smile. Guests end up loving this personal touch on a couple's registry and it's what makes every newlywed home unique. Looking to add some quirkiness to your registry? Get inspired by this list of unexpected gifts Zola couples have registered for.

From housing for your fish and a decorative ball of moss to a dish rack that'll give you Leonardo DiCaprio film vibes, the sky's the limit! Sure, they're not household necessities or entertaining must-haves, but these playful gifts will make you smile every time you see them. And that's what building a home together is all about, right? 

Even if these unique gifts don't strike your fancy, let them inspire you to find unique household wares that do. After all, no two couple is alike, so there's no one right way to build a wedding registry. Let you gift list speak to you.

Prepare for fun in the newlywed sun with a Sunnylife Luxe Lie-On Float Pineapple. Don't stop there, though. We also have metallic swans and pink flamingos that are the perfect accents for any waterfront festivity (bachelorette party perhaps?).

We can't quite put a finger on how the Areaware C'mere Reality Hand Hook makes us feel. It is useful, though, and the come-hither gesture will hold up your jacket, bag, or other hangables.
