What should you register for?

Do not be afraid to register for the things you need and want! Select a wide variety of merchandise. Many couples today are getting married later in life and have already set up their households. If this is the case, they tend to register for things such as recreational items or even computer equipment or even designate a charity that they would like money to be sent to. On the other hand, if you are a young newlywed who is just starting out and needs all of the bare necessities, take a look at this checklist for some of the basics that you will need.

• Dishes- this can be anything from formal china to everyday casual dishes. Since these tend to be a focal point in your table setting it is wise to select these first and then proceed with the rest of your kitchen and tableware items.
• Silver
• Everyday Flatware
• Fine Crystal
• Everyday Glassware
• Cookware
• Appliances
• Cutlery
• Basic Tools
• Kitchen Accessories
• Bedroom- bedding, etc.
• Bathroom- towels, trashcans, etc.
• Luggage
• Non-Traditional Items- these will be according to your individual and personal needs!

There are obviously many more things in each category, but most stores that you go and register at will have a guide or an employee that will help walk you through the process and make suggestions along the way. Also, be sure to register for items in a wide price range to ensure that everyone can join in this celebration and gift giving no matter what their budgets are.
