Most Popular Wedding Registry Gifts – Entertaining
ENTERTAINING
Wine glasses – As you start to prepare for future holidays and gatherings celebrated with you and your new partner, you want to make sure you have a fully stocked set of glassware – especially for all preferences and occasions. One size does not fit all. I recommend a set for red, white and stemless.
Platters and bowls – Whenever needed, no matter the occasion, a set of matching serveware can go a long way in your entertaining tablescape. Transform a bag of chips into a work of art using a serving bowl. Recommended to have a variety of sizes for Thanksgiving sides, chip dips, and beyond.
- White ruffle 16″ platter
- White ruffle 15″ large bowl
- White ruffle 11″ small bowl
- White ruffle 5.5″ dip bowl
Matching flatware set – Both for everyday use and for elevated entertaining, swap out the old mismatched forks and knives for a beautiful, timeless, and long-lasting flatware set. Recommended to have 8-12 sets for a cohesive experience and to allow for enough clean flatware in-between use.
Most Popular Wedding Registry Gifts – Kitchen
KITCHEN
Duralex glass bowls – Surprisingly, this set of multi-sized bowls is one of the most used items on the list. Whether you are baking, cooking, or organizing ingredients, the wide range of sizes are extremely useful.
Instant Pot – Even if you are not a great cook, you can make an endless number of delicious meals all in one pot. With a super reasonable price-point, this is a great gift you can use on a weekly basis for years.
Le Creuset Dutch oven – Similar to the Instant Pot, but definitely more of an investment piece. However, the investment is worth it given the versatility of use, and quality of cooking this piece offers.
Coffee and/or espresso machine – There is nothing like a good cup of coffee. The Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System lets you make not only a single serving, but a full pot of hot or iced coffee. While not a necessity, this espresso machine is a great gift for coffee lovers. Either for a mid-afternoon espresso shot or for a decadent at-home latte, this machine does it all.
Most Popular Wedding Registry Gifts – Miscellaneous
MISCELLANEOUS
Cooler – Even though you may not use a cooler every day, a quality roller cooler will come in handy more often than you would think. To emphasize, this Igloo cooler keeps ice frozen and food/drink cold all day.
Luggage Set – Another item that you may not use daily, but benefit from greatly. A matching luggage set is a great gift, especially for a couple planning on a honeymoon immediately following the wedding.
Bath towel set – Although towels are not the most exciting or glamorous wedding registry gifts, a quality set of matching towels is a gift that will be used daily and last for years.
To summarize, while you may not use each item daily, they have all stood the test of time as my most popular wedding registry gifts – 3 years after the wedding! Now that I’ve shared my list, let me know if you have any favorites that I may have missed.
