Instead of traditional gifts, why not ask for a memorable experience? Whether it's a hot air balloon ride, a cooking class, or a wine tasting, there are endless options for adventure experiences that you and your partner can enjoy together.

3. DIY kits

If you're a crafty couple, add some DIY kits to your registry. Items like a candle-making kit or a home brewing kit can be a fun and creative way to spend time together. Check out Uncommon Goods for some ideas.

4. Date night ideas

Add items to your wish list that will help you plan future date nights. This could be a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant or tickets to a concert or sports game.


5. A personalized song or piece of music

Music can be a beautiful way to celebrate your love. Why not ask a musician to write a personalized song or piece of music that you can enjoy on your wedding day and beyond? Websites like Songfinch allow you to create a personalized song based on your story and preferences.

8. A couples' massage or spa day

Weddings can be stressful, so why not relax and unwind with a couples' massage or spa day? It's a thoughtful and romantic gift that you and your partner can enjoy together.


9. A cooking class

If you and your partner are foodies, why not add a cooking class or food tour to your wish list? It's a great way to spend time together and learn something new. You will find various courses on Sur la Table.


10. Charitable donations

If you and your partner are passionate about a particular cause or charity, consider adding a donation to your wish list. It's a thoughtful and meaningful way to celebrate your love and make a difference in the world. Check out websites like GlobalGiving to find charities that match your interests.

These are just a few ideas to get you started with your untraditional wedding wish list. Remember, this is your day, and your wish list should reflect your personality and interests. Happy planning!
