Wedding Gifts That Will Get Years and Years of Use
Registering for your wedding is so exciting. Whether you and your partner head into a few stores to add items to your registry or you complete the entire process online, it’s so fun to pick and choose items that you hope you’ll receive as gifts for your big day.
When I was registering for my wedding, I definitely got carried away adding items that I really thought I needed (four different sets of baking dishes and lime green table linens — I’m looking at you). However, after 16 years of marriage, there are still quite a few items that my husband and I received from our wedding registry that we still use and we still love.
It seems like these items were a bit of a luxury when we were engaged and not the everyday items that we really needed. These were items we hoped we would get and probably would never splurge on.
So, if you are getting ready to create your registry and you aren’t sure if you should add the following items, go ahead and do it! Years later, you’ll still love them like you did on your wedding day.
