One of the most important parts of the wedding planning process is registering for gifts. Although many couples already have traditional household items (dishes, towels, etc.), that doesn’t mean they should skip setting up a registry. Guests will want that guidance when attending the engagement party, shower, and wedding day. And before you put the final touches on your list, don’t forget about these seven items you’ll want to include.
Bedding
Although you already have bedding, it's a good idea to put some extra sheets and throw blankets on your wedding registry. And if you're looking to do a bedroom refresh after the big day, don't forget to put a new comforter, mattress pad, and pillow shams on the list.
Wall Art
If you're moving into a new home after the wedding, you'll have plenty of empty walls to fill. If you find artwork you especially love, put it on your registry. Even if it's expensive, guests can go in on a group gift to get it for you.
Barware
Can't wait to entertain more after the wedding? Register for some bar essentials so you'll be able to whip up some cocktails for your guests at parties and holiday gatherings.
Robot Vacuum
Save yourself some cleaning time by registering for a robot vacuum. Turn it on and let it do the work for you—it will be a registry gift you'll love for years to come!
Food Storage Containers
This is a registry item many couples don't think about until they need it. Glass food storage containers are eco-friendly and safer for you, so put some options on your list.
Tools
From hanging photos to fixing leaky faucets, you're bound to have some home improvement projects through the years. While tools might not be the most fun item on your registry, they will definitely come in handy.
Luggage
Your honeymoon could be just the beginning of many fun trips you'll take together. If you don't have some top-notch luggage, ask family and friends to get it for you off the wedding registry.
