When I was planning my wedding, I spent hours meticulously curating my wedding registry. I included everything from the essential items like cookware and bedding to more luxurious items like a new sofa and a fancy espresso machine. But looking back, there are a few things I wish I had added to the list. Here are few of things I wish I add on my wedding registry, and why:
Practical Things
A good set of tools: I didn’t realize how often I would need a hammer, a screwdriver, and a wrench until I was a homeowner. A good set of tools comes in handy for everything from hanging pictures to fixing leaky faucets.
A step stool or ladder: This is a must-have for anyone who lives in a two-story house or has high shelves. It’s so much easier to reach things when you don’t have to balance on a chair or tiptoe.
Sentimental Things
A personalized photo album or scrapbook: This is a great way to preserve all of the memories from your wedding day. You can even add photos from your engagement party, bridal shower, and other special events.
A piece of jewelry with your wedding date engraved on it: This is a beautiful and timeless way to commemorate your special day. You can wear it every day as a reminder of your love.
Experiences
A gift certificate for a cooking class: This is a great way to learn new recipes and spend time together as a couple. You can even take the class together and make a date night out of it.
A gift certificate for a weekend getaway: This is the perfect way to relax and recharge after the stress of wedding planning. You can go to a nearby city, a cozy cabin, or even just a bed and breakfast for a night or two.
