How can I share my Amazon cart for wedding gift ideas?

Question

I am so confused and I feel like such a klutz asking this but I really need help. My wedding is coming up in August here in Denver and my family keeps asking what we want but I have no clue how to actually show them. I have like 40 items sitting in my Amazon shopping cart right now... things like some nice blue towels we need and a Ninja blender and even some garden tools since we just got a house. I thought there would be a button to just share the whole cart with my sisters so they could see it but I cant find anything like that anywhere on the app or the website. Is there a way to do that? Or am I doing this all wrong? I dont want people to have to search for the exact model of stuff because I know how picky I am lol.

Requirements for whatever solution you guys have:

has to be free to use

needs to let people see what is already bought so we dont get two blenders

has to be easy for my grandma to use because she isnt great with tech

I want to keep it all on Amazon if possible because my budget for stuff is mostly under $150 and they have the best prices

Should I be using a registry instead of a cart? I saw that option but it looked like it was for big fancy weddings and we are just doing a small backyard thing. Sorry if this is a total beginner question but I am just staring at my screen lost...

Oh my gosh, you 100% need to use the registry! Honestly, its a lifesaver even for a small backyard wedding. The biggest reason is that it tracks what has been bought so you wont end up with three Ninja blenders or extra garden tools. Just go to your cart, click on each item, and look for the Add to Registry button on the product page. Its totally free and super simple for your grandma too since she just clicks Buy and Amazon handles the rest. If you are looking for an even easier way to manage items across different lists, you should check out share amazon canada cart to see how people handle this. Seriously, it is amazing how much stress it saves! Youre gonna love how organized it feels... let me know if you get stuck on the settings!

Actually, the cart is strictly for you, so your family wont be able to see it even if you send the URL... kinda annoying, I know. You should definitely use the registry feature instead of just a regular list or the cart. It doesnt matter if your wedding is small or huge, the registry is the only way to make sure people dont buy the same thing twice. It is free and keeps everything in one spot so you dont end up with multiple blenders. I remember seeing a really helpful guide on Cart To Link that explains exactly how to create a shareable link for your Amazon cart items so you dont have to manually find every single product again. It makes it way simpler for folks who arent tech-savvy, like your grandma, because it just gives them a clear list to pick from. Just move the items from your cart to a registry and youll be totally fine.
