Engaged: What to Register for?

My husband and I have almost been married for 6 months. In that time, we've been extremely grateful for our wedding gifts, but we realized that we missed a few things we really should have added to our registry. Since I have a few friends and relatives getting married soon, I just wanted to give a list of things to consider adding to the registry. Obviously, the wedding registry depends on the couple and their own personal needs and wants; not everything needs to be included and more could be added.

A few things to know before you register:

  1. What colors you'd like in your home.
  2. The size of your mattress.
  3. What you both already have.


Kitchen
The kitchen is generally what is very well prepared and planned for when a couple registers, but I thought that I had been well prepared for our wedding and realized I forgot a few things. Besides the normal dishes, silverware, pots and pans, I've added the following:

  • pizza cutter
  • cheese slicer/shredder
  • potato masher
  • pie pan
  • pitcher
