Since Macy’s invented the modern gift registry in 1920, wedding registries have been an integral part of the American marriage experience. 

While the registry has evolved beyond china sets and blenders to include experiential-based requests like funding for honeymoons, that hasn’t prevented them for being occasionally extravagant. 

The Black Tux, a tuxedo and suit rental company based in New York, recently published a report that analyzes trends in wedding registries, including the average total cost of a wedding registry in every state. The study used data from Amazon’s wedding registry site to determine the ranking, averaging the sum of the cost of all items on registries in each state, including Washington, DC.
