When you think of Walmart, you probably don’t think of weddings. Your special day should be about grandeur and spectacle, and as much as Walmart is famous for its wide and varied range of goods at customer-friendly prices, it’s hardly anyone’s first port of call for the finer things in life. But that doesn’t mean you should overlook them for your wedding, especially ever since Walmart branched out to the wedding registry world. Now they provide engaged couples the chance to set up their own gift registry on the site, and handpick all that homeware they want to see gift-wrapped at the wedding ceremony. The store’s reasoning behind the decision is quite obvious: couples often pick their gift ideas from Walmart, so why not bring the registry to them? The system makes good use of the store’s award winning application, which can be used to scan barcodes. This is coupled by the fact that the Walmart Wedding Registry is completely free to use and devoid of any service fees.

Couples

Building your registry online is like taking a stroll in a Walmart store. On one hand, you have a full catalog of gift ideas presented to you. But couples can also visit the web storefront as usual, and instead of adding an attractive pot or vase to the cart they can mark it as a registry item. There is also the option to add on-site products to the list. While shopping in store, use the downloadable Walmart app to scan the barcodes, effectively linking them to the registry. This is extremely helpful for couples who wish to check the quality of the gifts before putting them onto the wish list. Unfortunately, adding any products other than Walmart’s is out of question.

Guests

The registry can be shared either by email or by posting the link on Facebook, a method that is far more effective than sending out traditional registry lists. The registry menu is a bit barebones from the viewpoint of the guests with very limited sorting options. Friends and family members can order the desired gift online by clicking on the corresponding icon, or visit the local Walmart store and scan the barcode after purchasing it then upload the code to the registry so that others won’t buy a duplicate. The system doesn’t approve of cash registries no matter how noble the purpose is, and so the only way of giving money directly is through special wedding gift cards that can then be used by the couple on a shopping spree later.

Gifts

Walmart Wedding Registry features 12 brands to choose from. These cover all the household items a young couple starting their life together might need. From cookware and kitchen utensils to home decor, bathroom accessories and bedding, the site is chock full of offers. It’s highly recommended to go through the list and gather ideas instead of just adding those that you have in mind. Of course, there is also the Inspirations section, which provides special categories of on-demand items grouped together by Walmart. Here you’ll find the top most requested registry gifts or the magical personalized presents. Interestingly, Walmart doesn’t support the idea of cash registry, and instead promotes the idea of gift cards that can then be used in any store across the country.

Creating your wedding registry

 

Since we are speaking about a service provided by Walmart, those who already have an account are at an advantage. Otherwise you will need to set up a universal account for the store, where you’ll have to provide some of your basic information, such as name, phone number, location and of course the date of the big day. The registry is assigned to one person by default, but you can add your partner as well. The Walmart Wedding Registry is recommended for down-to-earth couples, since the system features a checklist with recommendations on which types of gifts are a must have and how much of them you might need. The overall design is a bit simplistic, but in a practical standpoint both the users and the guests can easily find what they are looking for.

Walmart Wedding Registry doesn’t have a customer service dedicated to it, and so you are forced to deal with the general helpdesk. On the plus side, the service includes a gift registry category under the “Shopping Walmart.com” topic, meaning it is possible to get in touch with someone knowledgeable about the specific topic. After submitting the ticket you’ll soon be contacted by a staff member via chat. There is a brief introduction to the registry service, but it barely introduces the feature and doesn’t try to preemptively answer the problem you may have. This all reiterates the fact that gift registry is just an add-on service for Walmart.

Bottom line

We have mixed feelings about Walmart Wedding Registry. On one hand, it’s a competent registry for rounding up the store’s wedding related items and putting them on a convenient wish list. In case you set up a registry, any product can be marked as a gift from the web store, or simply use the smartphone app to scan barcodes. On the other hand, there are very little visual customization or sorting options, not to mention the fact that you are unable to import other registries or add any item from outside of the store’s offerings. This registry feels like bonus feature rather than strong standalone service, but couples who prefer practicality over expensive gifts may welcome Walmart Wedding Registry.
