One of the most important parts of the wedding planning process is registering for gifts. Although many couples already have traditional household items (dishes, towels, etc.), that doesn’t mean they should skip setting up a registry. Guests will want that guidance when attending the engagement party, shower, and wedding day. And before you put the final touches on your list, don’t forget about these seven items you’ll want to include.

Bedding

Although you already have bedding, it's a good idea to put some extra sheets and throw blankets on your wedding registry. And if you're looking to do a bedroom refresh after the big day, don't forget to put a new comforter, mattress pad, and pillow shams on the list.

Stylish home decor ideas for wedding celebrations.

Wall Art

If you're moving into a new home after the wedding, you'll have plenty of empty walls to fill. If you find artwork you especially love, put it on your registry. Even if it's expensive, guests can go in on a group gift to get it for you.

Unique gifts for a memorable bridal registry.

Barware

Can't wait to entertain more after the wedding? Register for some bar essentials so you'll be able to whip up some cocktails for your guests at parties and holiday gatherings.

Chic tableware selections for wedding registries.

Trendy kitchen appliances for newlyweds.

Tools

From hanging photos to fixing leaky faucets, you're bound to have some home improvement projects through the years. While tools might not be the most fun item on your registry, they will definitely come in handy.

Essential home goods for newly married couples.

Luggage

Your honeymoon could be just the beginning of many fun trips you'll take together. If you don't have some top-notch luggage, ask family and friends to get it for you off the wedding registry.
