So, I’ve started redoing our kitchen. The reason I tell you is that most of the kitchen stuff we have was given to us from our wedding gift registry. So, of course I felt it only fitting this week to talk wedding gifts!
I’m all about registering at a few different places, after all, how can you find everything you need in one store! Here are a few must have items that need to make your registry gift list.
Wine Glasses
I love these wine glasses from Williams-Sonoma. If your into entertaining these are a must have. Make sure you get a few different styles since different wines require different glasses. Get at least 8 because you want to make sure you will have enough for that upcoming dinner party.
Food Storage Containers
I know it may sound silly to put food storage containers on the list, but they are a must have. You won’t feel pressured to hide everything that is normally on your counter when guests come over because these containers match. Most of all they keep everything fresh! I love these containers from Crate & Barrel.
Baking Pans & Casserole Dishes
Okay. If you aren’t a huge baker, or a wizz in the kitchen, you don’t have to put these on the list. But aren’t they the cutest! They are always good to have around just in case you have a party at your house and people use your kitchen to cook. You can find these at Crate & Barrel.
Dinnerware
For me the jury is still out on whether or not to replace the dinnerware I received as gifts. I love them, but I didn’t ask for enough. We are big entertainers and when we have people come over we have mismatched dinnerware. So make sure you ask for at least 8 if you like entertaining. You can check these out at Crate & Barrel.
Cookware
By far my favorite thing to shop for right now! Whatever you prefer make sure you ask for something that will last a few years. We invested in good cookware from the beginning and our cookware is still going strong, although I’m really digging the Giada De Laurentiis Cookware at Target. To be honest I can’t wait to get them. 🙂

Happy Planning!
Great post. Good direction for those needing the kitchen essentials. For brides that know they will need these but aren’t sure what / where from try an online, cash registry like http://www.weddingrepublic.com – gives the flexibility to buy it all later!
