Create a Bridal Shower Gift Registry
A bridal shower, or kitchen tea as it is often called in Australia, is the more personal celebration before the big day, so the gifts can be too. Keep the shower list separate from your wedding registry, add the smaller, lovely things from any boutique, and give the host one link to share.

Why a separate bridal shower registry?
Keep it separate from the wedding list
Save the big-ticket household items for the wedding registry. Here you list the smaller, more personal gifts, so shower guests don't end up buying the kettle twice.
Add from any store or boutique
Homewares, self-care, a favourite small label, you're not locked to one shop. Add a date-night fund too if you'd rather guests put towards an experience.
Easy for the host & bridesmaids
Whoever's planning the shower shares one link with the guest list. Everyone can see what's still available, so there are no doubled-up gifts on the day.

Bridal shower or kitchen tea? Same idea
In Australia the pre-wedding celebration for the bride is often called a kitchen tea rather than a bridal shower. The names differ, the registry does not. Both are the smaller, more personal party held a few weeks before the wedding, and both suit a separate list of thoughtful pieces rather than the big household items you save for the wedding registry.
The host or bridesmaids usually run the shower, so hand them one link and let guests see what is still available. Not sure what to spend? Our kitchen tea gift amount guide gives guests a steer. And if a weekend away is on the cards too, a hen's party fund keeps the celebration costs organised in the same simple way.
- What is the difference between a bridal shower and a kitchen tea?
- Very little. Kitchen tea is the Australian name for the same pre-wedding party for the bride. Both use the same kind of registry: smaller, personal gifts kept separate from the main wedding list.
- Should bridal shower gifts go on the wedding registry?
- Keep them separate. The wedding registry carries the big household items; the shower list is for the smaller, more personal pieces, which stops guests buying the kettle twice across the two events.
