Somewhere between selecting centerpieces and arranging your bridal beauty appointments, wedding planning can start to get a bit overwhelming. This is the perfect time to take a break, pour a glass of Pinot and focus on something light and fun: your wedding registry! Whether you\u2019re moving in together for the first time or simply upgrading your medley of hand me downs from college, these essential items will help set the foundation for your life as newlyweds:<\/p>\n
1. A Cookware Set
\nIncluding an 8, 10 and 12-inch skillet, stockpots, saucepans and a saute pan, a quality cooking set will help replace midnight bowls of microwave ramen with weekly dine-in dinners. This is the gift that keeps on giving — and lasts for years to come!<\/p>\n
2. A Coffee Maker
\nMost mornings, your coffee maker will greet you before your new spouse – so select a good one! Decide if you\u2019re a classic drip-brewer couple or prefer an elaborate espresso maker.<\/p>\n
3. A Stand Mixer
\nAh – the 5-quart stand mixer; it\u2019s such a best-selling wedding registry item that it\u2019s pretty much synonymous with getting married! Whether it\u2019s cranking out zoodles or simply adorning your kitchen counters, this is a must-add. Bonus – they\u2019re available in countless colors so you can match your current palette.<\/p>\n
4. Dinnerware
\nAfter all that mixing and cooking, you\u2019ll need something to serve it on. Ditch your collection of mismatched plastic cereal bowls and dollar store cutlery – it\u2019s time for some quality dining utensils! Add a beautiful set of stainless flatware and sturdy, microwave\/dishwasher-safe dinnerware.<\/p>\n
5. A Vacuum
\nPet parents rejoice! This is your opportunity to upgrade your current cleaner. Rid your home of dust, dirt and hair with a trusted brand. This is an item you can wishfully splurge on; if your registry allows group-gifting, then go for the Dyson!<\/p>\n
6. Glassware
\nCheers to that! Now is the time to hone in on your hostess skills. Request whatever quenches your thirst, whether it\u2019s a set of crystal champagne flutes, casual wine glasses or personalized beer pilsners.<\/p>\n
7. A Security Camera
\nAs technology evolves, there are TONS of different security camera options to help protect your home. Consider your points of entry as well as phone compatibility before choosing one of the many registry-topping systems!<\/p>\n
8. Towels
\nBath towels, beach towels, tea towels – you name it! Pile on those layers with quality, colorful options. Remember to add a few extras for future house guests.<\/p>\n
9. Bedding
\nA soft duvet cover, crisp sheets, plump pillows: yes, please! You can\u2019t get a good night\u2019s sleep without a good set of bedding, so stock up with options on your registry. Consider any guest bedrooms you\u2019ll have to accommodate as well as your own master bedroom.<\/p>\n
10. Luggage
\nPlanning a honeymoon in paradise? Start packing with a stylish new set of luggage. Choose a set with a spacious interior, multiple pockets, upright rolling ability and a lightweight design. Black is always in style, but we suggest choosing a bright, colorful set that you can easily spot from baggage claim!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
