Congrats!!
If you are reading this, I’m assuming you have just gotten engaged or maybe you’re jumping the gun. Regardless, picking out your wedding registry items can be stressful BUT they don’t have to be!
Amongst all the other tasks of wedding planning, this one seems to be the most fun – you are essentially just making a list of all the things you and your future spouse don’t want to buy yourself! However, I know when my husband and I started making ours, it wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be. The over-thinker that I am would think, well these are things we are going to have in our home FOREVER! I can’t just choose anything! So I began to research and eventually we had it figured out.
Here are some of my wedding registry favorites, enjoy!
Pots and Pans
These Caraway pans are perfection! Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they work great, and even come with a magnetic organizer, storage for the lids and isn’t an 11 piece set that can be hard to store (especially if you live in an apartment)! If you are looking for something even more simple, and functional, the always pan is a great option too (they have such cute colors!) We got both and LOVE them!
New Bedding + Sheets
We opted for this Casaluna Linen duvet cover plus the duvet insert and sheet set. Pro tip: Put 2 duvet inserts in to make it more fluffy! This duvet insert from amazon was really nice for the price.
If you are looking for a more luxurious option, I’ve heard great things about Brooklinen sheets, and Parachute bedding! For a more affordable option, amazon has this similar duvet cover and these sheets with great reviews!
Knife set
This 15 piece Cuisinart knife set is not only so cute on your counter, but also gets the job done!
Coffee Machine
We have both this Nespresso and this Breville and LOVE both (obviously since we can’t seem to just have one). Either are a great option dependent on your preference!
Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade!
Here’s a quick list of some easy items in your house that could maybe just use an upgrade! (especially when your not paying for it)
- Plate sets
- Glassware
- These glasses are so fun and unique!
- Silverware
- Toaster
- Vacuum
- I think EVERYONE puts this one on their registry!
- Baking set
- Dish Towels
- Salt n Pepper shaker
- This electric one is so nice!
Electric Kettle
This is a great one – and also looks great on your counter! The Smeg electric kettle is also so cute and functional.
Those random things you may have thought about but never bought
- Roll up dish drying rack
- Salad serving hands
- Crock pot
- Hand mixer/Kitchen Aid
- Glass measuring cups
- Salad Spinner
- Clothes drying rack
- Non stick silicone matts
- Hatch Alarm Clock
- Glass Canisters
Cash Fund
Can never go wrong with cash! Anything that wasn’t bought on your registry can be used for this, or just random house stuff that comes up, or even use it for your honeymoon! We were able to buy new nightstands, a bed frame, ladder shelf, rug etc. and it was so nice because sometimes those are things that you want to pick out and make sure look good in your space.
