When you’re planning your wedding, there are a million and one things to think about – from the dress to the flowers to the cake. But one of the most important things you need to consider is your wedding registry.
Your wedding registry is a list of items that you would like to receive as gifts from your guests. It’s a way for your guests to help you start your new life together by giving you items that you need for your home.
There are a lot of things you can put on your wedding registry, but there are a few items that are absolutely essential. Here are 5 must-have items for your wedding registry:
1. Dinnerware
One of the first things you’ll need for your new home is dinnerware. You’ll need plates, bowls, and cups for every day use, as well as for entertaining. You can register for a set of dishes, or you can mix and match different sets to create your own unique look.
2. Cookware
If you love to cook, or even if you just like to eat, you’ll need a good set of cookware. This is one area where you can really splurge and get something that will last you a lifetime. Look for high-quality pots and pans in the material of your choice – stainless steel, copper, or cast iron.
3. Small appliances
Small appliances are another essential for any kitchen. Even if you’re not a gourmet cook, you’ll still need a few basic appliances like a toaster, a coffee maker, and a blender. These days, there are so many fun and innovative small appliances available that it’s easy to find ones that fit your lifestyle and your kitchen décor.
4. Bed linens
After a long day, there’s nothing better than crawling into a soft, cozy bed. You’ll want to register for high-quality bed linens that will last you for years. Look for sheets in a thread count of at least 400, and don’t forget to register for a duvet or comforter, too.
5. Bath towels
You can never have too many bath towels. Register for a set of fluffy, absorbent bath towels in a color or style that you love. You’ll also want to register for hand towels and washcloths.
These are just a few of the essential items that you should put on your wedding registry. Once you have the basics taken care of, you can start thinking about the fun stuff, like kitchen gadgets and home décor items.
Happy registry planning!
