Bridal Registry Essentials

Have you and your fiance registered for wedding gifts yet?  Completing your bridal registries is a highly recommended activity on your wedding planning checklist.  We suggest registering so it takes some of the guess work off your guests when they graciously buy your wedding gifts.  Your guests want to buy you something you want and need in the colors that work for you and your new home together; going off a list that you made is very welcomed etiquette for your family and friends. 

The Registry Essentials - what every bridal registry should have included (unless of course you already have these things!):

♥ Cooking: KitchenAid Mixer (as my own sister-in-law has informed me, a wedding is the perfect time to get one!), Knife Set, Cooking Ware, Bake Ware and Bowls, Dutch Oven, Cooking Utensils, Kitchen Appliances you don't own or want to update (blender, beater, chopper, coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, panini press, crock pot, etc.)

♥ Dining: Casual and China Dinnerware, Stemware, Glassware, Silverware, Table Linens, Salt/Pepper Shakers, Serving Bowls/Platters 

♥ Nesting: Bedding, Towels, Bathroom Accessories (shower curtain, soap dispenser, rugs, etc.)

♥ Home Decor: Frames, Vases, Lamps and Lighting, Mirrors, Candleholders, Centerpiece Bowls, etc.

♥ Playtime: Camping Equipment, Grilling Items, Picnic Baskets, Yard Games, Board Games, Luggage, etc.

You can register at a common retail store like Macy's, Target, or Bed, Bath, and Beyond either in store or online.  You also have the option to register on a website that pulls from different stores like http://www.myregistry.com/.
