Hochzeitsideen - Registry #3

We love a good wedding registry - and the fact that setting up a registry can be one of the most laid-back and fun parts of wedding planning.

You want to buy your friend a gift they will love, and you know she has registered. But when you go to select a present, you find that every single item is far out of your budget.

When you're up to your ears in decisions regarding the big day, one aspect of the planning process that should be the least stressful and the most amount of fun is setting up your wedding registry.

Wedding season is upon us and you all know what that means: registries. Whether you're getting married and figuring out what you need, or shopping for someone without a wish list, finding the perfect item can be hard -- especially when it comes to stocking the kitchen.

I can't tell you how many times I've had conversations with my girlfriends about what I would possibly register for when the day comes for me to get married. I am in my late 20s, own a home, and have already upgraded most of my college apartment stuff.

One of the most fun things to think about as you register for wedding gifts is how you'll use each piece for the fun parties + get-togethers you'll host after the big day. Many engaged couples find themselves lacking in the serveware, dinnerware and accessory department, and if you enjoy hosting family + friends, there's no time better than now [...]

Let's face it, friends. So many aspects of weddings are more geared toward ladies than gents. The founders of The Man Registry noticed it too and were determined to do something about it! Originally conceived as a wedding registry featuring dude-friendly wedding gifts, the company has since expanded with articles, checklists, and a groomsmen gift shop [...]

I've had a lot of people asking me to compile a list of must have baby registry items. I wanted to knock all of it out in one post, but after I hit 1000 words on this post, I decided it was probably best to do it in sections.

If we were registering for our weddings right now - and not gonna lie, kinda wish we were - we'd be all about the updated classics that would help make our home cozy + entertaining a breeze. Think new barware, updated serving pieces + beautiful linens to revive our (not-as-serene-as-we'd-like) bedrooms. When registering with Crate and Barrel, not [...]

Posted: Print Article Recently I had an interesting opportunity to work with beautiful Miss USA, Erin Brady, whose reign is coming to an end this summer to design her wedding registry. Erin and her fiancé are getting married this year.

We always love teaming up with companies to work on cool ways of sharing what they do, but today's post was an especially fun one to put together. Because, well, it basically felt like going shopping! We selected our dream wedding registry with Crate and Barrel.

Let's go wild perusing some honeymoon registries from our sponsor, Traveler's Joy, for inspiration on how you can plan your own registry-gifted trip to your transcendent dream destination.

Especially if the two of you haven't lived together before getting married, you will probably soon be dealing with a lot of stuff. His stuff. Your stuff. And then the wedding gifts start arriving. So, it's time to be proactive and prepare to get organized.

When it comes to wedding gifts, some couples are strict "registrationists." Going off-registry is simply not allowed. Sometimes, however, it's a good idea to break the rules. While it's important to respect the wishes of the bride and groom and give them what they've asked for, there might be a perfect gift out there that they didn't even know they wanted.

If you're a caffeine junkie like I am, you know the joys of receiving a gift to complete your own personal coffee station. It's all about that morning ritual. And that 2:00 pm ritual. And that 6:00 pm ritual. And that 9:00 pm decaf ritual. You get the point: coffee is my jam.

The best part about registering? Selecting all of the items you are going to use when you host friends and family at your new home. What better time than a party or weekend visit to show off your new-found couple style?

I've written about many amazing alternative gift list services before, but I'm yet to find one that allows you to register for literally anything you want... until now. When Gareth and I were engaged we went with the surprisingly traditional option of a department store registry. While we had a lot of fun running around pretending we were on Supermarket Sweep, I do wish we'd know about some more alternative options. I guess they just weren't around in 2007!

Planning a wedding is amazing, but when you begin your registry, you start planning your life together, long after the wedding. It's the dishes you'll serve your first Christmas meal on, the KitchenAid you'll use to teach your daughter to make cookies, the cup of coffee you'll brew in the morning, in less than a minute thanks to Keurig.

In my parents' kitchen sits an orange electric whisk, an ageing rolling pin and set of beautiful glasses. Wedding gifts that have not only stood the test of time since their 1976 nuptials, but have come back in fashion (more than once!) and become something of well-used, prized possessions in our home.

As the average age for marriage increases, our wedding registry needs have definitely changed. Even though we still might have some household items on our list, for many of us, the majority of what we use has already been purchased over the years. So, what to register for?

Before you were engaged you probably thought that registering for gifts was going to be great. But most nearlywed and newlywed couples will tell you, registering can be surprisingly stressful. After a while, many couples even come to hate the whole idea of the registry.

Whether or not you have a well-stocked kitchen of your own, there's a good chance looking around for additional accessories (like that 12-cup food processor you've been eyeing) or maybe even an upgrade on what you already have in place (stand mixer over hand mixer?
