Wedding registries are a $19B industry in the US.  91% of US couples register for gifts.  Historically, the leaders in this industry were retailers that provide household items.  This includes companies such as Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target, and Crate & Barrel.

While the industry is still dominated by traditional retailers, alternative registries are gaining in popularity.  The majority of the alternative registries specialize in cash gifts.  VEBO is the first wedding registry exclusively dedicated to experiential gifts.
