Before my wife and I got married three years ago, we put together a wedding registry that included some of the most coveted items for our house and lifestyle.
Like most registries, some items weren't fulfilled and others haven't been as used that often, but we also had a number of items in particular that are still used just about every day.
Looking back, if we had to do our registry all over again, we'd put these items at the very top of our list. Hopefully this collection will give you some tips and inspiration when it comes to creating your own wedding registry.
Coffee and Wine Subscriptions
Through coffee and wine-of-the-month clubs like Craft Coffee and Wine.com, we've been able to keep a steady supply of java and vino in our household. This was truly a registry gift that kept on giving!
Deluxe Knife Set
Since we love to cook, this classic knife set by Wusthof has made a huge difference in the kitchen. Before our wedding, we owned just a single (super dull) chef's knife. Now thanks to this collection, we've got all the tools necessary to prep meals at home -- both easily and efficiently.
Cutting Boards
We love having these kitchen essentials on hand for easy meal preparation. Previously, we had one hand-me-down cutting board that was seemingly always in our drying rack. Now, we've got specific cutting boards for fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and more. Meanwhile, through awesome companies like Richwood Creations, you can even get your cutting boards personalized with your names, wedding date, and a custom design.
Coffeemaker
If you're like me, you're in need of a fresh cup of java first thing in the morning to get you up and going. With our Cuisinart coffeemaker, we can brew up to 12 cups at a time and program it up to 24 hours in advance. Plus, it's got a reusable filter, so we don't ever have to purchase paper ones.
GoPro Camera
I remember ordering this item just in time for our honeymoon. We were really glad we did so. The GoPro HERO3 is detachable and waterproof, so we could capture some amazing moments from our trip to Kauai -- both on land and in the water. Three years later, we're still using it on ski trips, kayaking excursions, and weekend getaways.
