What did wedding guests get for these couples?

A report from online wedding marketplace The Knot found experiences and virtual gifts like gift cards to Airbnb and Delta Air Lines were some of the most popular registry gifts in 2021.

The Knot found 7 of every 10 couples in 2021 were registering for cash gifts, up 10% from the previous year. These gifts include gift cards or destination-specific experiences such as a snorkel tour in Hawaii or a private gondola ride in Venice.

About 80% of the gift cards that couples registered for on The Knot’s registry in 2021 were for travel- or home-related retailers. Airbnb accounted for 17% of gift cards on registries, while 20.4% were Home Depot gift cards and 7.6% were Delta Air Lines gift cards.
