Creating Your Wedding Registry with Items You’ll Actually Use!

At this very moment, there are couples all over the world in various stages of the wedding planning process. One of those many checklist items you will need to complete as bride and groom are registering for gifts!

The items you include on your registry are meant to help you start your life as newlyweds; make sure they are things you’ll actually use and not hide in the back of a closet or only bring out when the person who purchased them is visiting.

In case you’re not sure where to start or need some inspiration to get you going, here are a few items you can include and that you’ll be happy to build your beautiful new life around!

• A Comfortable Mattress: Starting your new life together will bring plenty of new beginnings, one of which should include the purchase of a new mattress. There’s no better opportunity to get a clean slate and get rid of restless nights and ghosts of relationships past. Make sure to look for an option that’ll meet both of your comfort and ideal sleep needs for marital bliss in all aspects of life.

• Commemorative Frame: Your wedding day is a special moment that you’ll remember forever. Allow your guests to get you something personal to mark the occasion. One of the best options is framing gorgeous moments from your wedding that you can proudly display in your home.

• Home Bar: Even if you don’t drink, it’s a great idea to have a home bar set. It is essential for entertaining groups of any size in your home, which now that you’re married you’ll be expected to do more often. Plus having a nice bar set up is an easy way to make your home feel more classy and give it that Don Draper vibe.

• At-Home Gardening: We all know that weddings are expensive, and it’s likely that you’ll be looking for ways to rebuild your savings post-wedding. One easy way to save some money is by cooking at home and growing your own food when possible. For those of us who might not have the greenest of thumbs or are just busy, register for an indoor garden kit to grow your own herbs and vegetables. This way you can save money and start a project together as husband and wife.
