Registering for your wedding can be totally and completely overwhelming, especially when what you want and what you need are two very different things. Yes, that fondue pot can melt chocolate or cheese into a bite of heaven, but chances are, it’ll be collecting more dust than deliciousness. So, before you go on your wedding registry shopping spree, take a peek at the 10 things you shouldn’t register for. Trust us, it’s probably not worth it.
-
Electronics:
With a new model out every other day, it’s just plain silly to register for something that will be considered “old” and “dated” before you even say “I do.” These are the types of items it’s better to take your time, research and invest in later on as a couple.
-
Fine China + Crystal:
If you host and entertain elegant affairs frequently, then by all means, register for these sparkly pieces. But if you don’t – and don’t see yourself doing so anytime in the future – then skip. There are much smarter selections that you’ll actually use to choose from.
-
Furniture:
Do you know exactly where you’ll be living for the foreseeable future? If not, don’t invest in large, expensive pieces that may not fit the size or style of your future home.
-
Clothing:
Not the time, not the place.
-
Personal Knick Knacks + Toys:
Similar to clothing, these items are for your Christmas list, not your registry.
-
Precious + Fragile Bakeware:
Even any amateur baker will tell you, your pastry pieces need to durable. You don’t need to worry about breaking your bread pan anytime you whip up some whole wheat treats.
-
Anything with an Expiration Date:
If you’ll need to replace the item in six months, it’s not worth a spot on your registry wish list. Buy it yourself and add something longer term to the list.
-
Seasonal Specific:
Sure you love ice cone machine but will you use it after August 31st? Most likely not. The Halloween place mats? If their time to shine is only a matter of weeks, treat yourself to them on your own and save your guests from searching for them for your shower.
-
Misc “Fun Items”:
Do you really need that fondue pot? The s’mores maker? Unless you will legitimately use it more than 10 times in the next year, it’s a pass in our book. They’re fun and all until you find it in a back drawer two years later, collecting dust. Not needed.
-
Intimate Items:
If you don’t want Grandma to see it, don’t register for it. End of story.
Sooooo…. what do you register for?
Macy’s has the goods this way!
