As the average age for marriage keeps creeping up, the need for an entire house worth of registry items keeps going down. Online registries, charity registries, and experience registries have grown in popularity, but there are a few items you may want to consider requesting even if your household is fairly well established!
China
Even if you aren’t a couple that anticipates throwing big dinner parties, it’s important to have a nice set of china for holidays, special occasions, and other celebrations! You may also find yourself wanting to use your wedding china for date nights and anniversaries to take you back to the start of your relationship!
Backups
Even if you already own a set or two, request basic necessities like bath towels and bed sheets so that when the time comes to replace them, you don’t have to spend time or money!
Kitchen
As you get settled into your married life routine, you may end up doing a lot more cooking and a lot less ordering in! Save yourself some major costs by requesting some of the more big ticket items on your registry
Pet Accessories
Now is the time to get Fluffy a fancy new dog bed! Upgrade your furry friend’s life at no cost by adding some items to your registry!
Home Decor
Chances are you and your spouse won’t be living in the same house, apartment, or condo forever. Request some nice home décor that matches what you’ve already collected for when you do decide to expand or relocate!
Serving Ware
My husband and I are not big drinkers, but we requested wine glasses, martini glasses, margarita glasses, you name it, because we knew that at some point we would want to have friends or family over and play the part of host and hostess! We didn’t want the hassle of having to go on a shopping spree before our first dinner party or get together!
Travel
After all, you’re going to need a nice new suitcase and some beach towels for that honeymoon right?
