WEDDING REGISTRY CHECKLIST

YOUR GO-TO GUIDE (AND WHAT'S ON THE WEDLUXE WISH LIST!)

reating your wedding registry is an exciting step toward building your new life together. It’s your chance to fill your home with everything you need for the future, plus some extra things you add for fun. It’s also the best way to get the wedding gifts you want and to help your guests find something you’ll both love. As one of America’s most beloved department stores, with impressive collections of everything from high-end cookware and dishware to luxury sheet sets to luggage for a dream honeymoon it's no wonder that so many engaged couples opt for a Bloomingdale's registry. To help you make the most of the experience, we’ve put together the ultimate wedding registry checklist.

GETTING STARTED

BAR AND WINE Happy hour’s at your place! Stocking your bar cart goes beyond spirits and bitters. The proper glassware is essential for maximum cocktail enjoyment. A wide-mouthed martini glass…a champagne-enhancing flute—the right vessels ensure drinks hit your taste buds in the right spot (not to mention they look pretty great, too!). Just like when registering for dinnerware, ensure you have enough for all your revelers—plus a couple extra in the event of unexpected guests and potential breakage. DINING From Sunday brunches for two to hosting the entire family for the holidays, you have a lifetime of delicious meals to look forward to. Generally, service for eight is a good start, and 12 settings should cover you for most entertaining occasions. To flex what you have and add visual intrigue to the table, choose an everyday set and a special occasion set that complement each other so you can mix and match.

Your friends and family will start to show their love and excitement with gift-giving beginning as early as your engagement party and shower, so it’s never too early to register. We recommend adding a link to your registry on your wedding website so your guests can easily find it. If you’re wondering what to register for, think about who you are as a couple. Do you love to entertain? Have a case of wanderlust? A flair for cooking? Kick off your registry with things you can’t wait to use, whether it’s a platinum-trimmed cake plate or a streamlined suitcase with all the bells and whistles. Once you’ve laid your wish list foundation, fill it in with essential items for the everyday, special occasions, and the future. PRO TIP: CREATING A SHOPPABLE REGISTRY FOR YOUR WEDDING GUESTS IS ALL ABOUT NUMBERS. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS TWO GIFTS FOR EVERY PERSON ON YOUR GUEST LIST IN A WIDE RANGE OF PRICE POINTS—THIS GIVES THEM GIFTING OPTIONS (AND PERKS FOR YOU, SINCE COUPLES WHO REGISTER AT BLOOMINGDALE’S GET 20% OFF ITEMS REMAINING ON THEIR REGISTRY FOR SIX MONTHS AFTER THEIR WEDDING DAY).
