Registry priorities

Registry

Registry

Now that we're married, we've finally opened all of our wedding gifts! We didn't register for a ton of items but we were a little surprised that most of our guests chose to just give us money instead of buying off the registries. (Maybe because it was a destination wedding?) It was very generous but now we have the daunting task of determining what to buy off our registry! Such a difficult decision because do you invest in long term items or just buy the things you immediately need?

What are the "most wanted" items on your registry or what items would you prioritize after the wedding?

We were very excited to receive a Kitchenaid mixer! Can't wait to put that to use! We also received all of our fine china but not the everyday plates and cutlery so I'm trying to decide what we need and what we can live without. (I've been dying to get rid of my husband's plates from college and upgrade!) We could also really use some decent pots and pans but probably can't afford all of them off our registry so we'll just invest in a few key pieces. Luckily Black Friday is coming up so hopefully we can get some good deals!

    Congrats! I would definitely knock off the things you really need and some of the bigger ticket items that might take you ages to save up for. Kitchen aid mixers are awesome, if you are a baker I would go for the professional or at least the artisan models more power is better. I have a classic and I love it but sometimes it is just a little under powered. We will be asking for money for ours and using it towards honeymoon and wedding. Have fun!

    I am going to register for some attachements for my mixer (best Christmas gift ever!), and a few handy things to help organize our small space. Now that you mention it a set of decent pots and pans might be nice too Smiley smile Our current mix are college leftovers and are pretty sad

    We are hoping that they people who prefer a physical gift will choose from these things, but we would prefer monetary gifts to help us move *out* of the small apartment!
