What do you wish you would have put on your registry?

Malia, on October 7, 2021 at 10:30 AM Posted in Registry 0 11
Hey, y’all! I’m working on finalizing my registry (at least for the time being), and I’m wondering if there’s anything you wish you put on your registry that you didn’t? FH and I are both college seniors (he’s living on campus and I’m living in my first apartment this semester), so we definitely aren’t fully established yet. I’ve started a few nicer collections already for my own apartment (crate and barrel dinnerware - 4 place settings, mikasa flatware - 12 place settings, wusthof classic knives, crate and barrel towels - 2 sets, etc.), so a lot of my registry so far is finishing off those collections and adding more entertainment pieces. We’re definitely more of a traditional couple and I’m big on entertaining (also registering for china, silver, and non-leaded crystal - I’m too scared of leaded crystal!), but I’m wondering if there’s anything I’m forgetting? I think the kitchen and bathroom is pretty well covered, but if there’s anything unique you wish you had added when you had the chance (either to be gifted or for you to be able to use a completion discount), I’d love to know! Thank you!

    I’d add a nice crystal vase for flowers. Le Crueset Dutch oven, really nice pillows (I did parachute), same for bath towels (brooklinen). These were some of my favorite/most frequently used gifts.

    Bedding, artwork for your home, board games (if you both enjoy board game nights), kitchen items such as coffee machine/instant pot/stand mixer/etc, holiday decor (trees/lights, themed soap dispensers, themed dish towels, etc), and really anything else that you both would use.

    Oh, yes! Thank you! I hadn’t even thought about adding more decor-related pieces! A crystal vase sounds lovely, and so do comfortable pillows! Are the parachute pillows down? I bought my first down comforter when I moved into my apartment and it’s been wonderful, so I think a set of down pillows would be amazing!

    Yes, all the decor! Check out Nambe and Jonathan Adler for pieces. I got the extra firm down pillows, they have tons of options. I also got my duvet from them!

    Yes! I have a nice instant pot already, but I love baking as well, so the stand mixer definitely made it on the registry! I added one game already (Catan), but I certainly think we could use some more - couple’s game nights are our favorite!


    This is also the push I needed to add holiday items - I’ve seen so many lovely holiday dinner napkins, decor items, and serving pieces at Pottery Barn lately, but I wondered if guests would think it was funny to register for Thanksgiving and Christmas items for a wedding in June!

    I don't think it'd be weird to register for holiday items in the summer! There might not be many holiday items available in stores at that time, but nothing wrong with registering for them! At my sister's bridal shower a few years ago, someone brought boxes with little items for each month, and a lot of them were holiday items: 4th of July decor for the July box, Thanksgiving items for the November box, etc. I thought it was a very cute gift!

    We registered for nice suitcases. We also registered for some dog essentials (new food bowls) and “fun” items (like a serving dish shaped like a pig).
