Was there anything that you really, really, wanted on your registry. Now that you have it, have you even used it?
I really wanted the bread machine, but haven't used it. I also really wanted the meat grinder attachment for the kitchenaid mixer, and I haven't used that yet either.

I think we pretty much use EVERYTHING. My Shower was strange tho. Even tho it was an awesome party, for some reason my 50 or so guests must've thought I just did the registry for my own enjoyment. They got me barely anything that I had asked for, which is so odd, cause it wasn't even crazy expensive things on there. I don't understand people. lol. So there are things i never use (like a vegetable chopper and some crazy bunt cake thing) but that's cause i never wanted it anyway. lol. But the things that we DID ask for and got, we use like crazy.

DH and I didn't have our own place before the wedding so I registered for a lot and we got a lot. 80% of it is still in the boxes in our closet. I use the staples, when the heck am I ever going to need 50 pieces of pryex. I started bringing some of it back after the h.m. and than I got lazy.

that's funny, DH really REALLY wanted the quesadilla maker and we didn't get it. I was like we have the panini maker, george foreman, and sandwich press do we REALLY need it but now I feel kind of bad.
I don't use my crockpot much though I really want to. And obv china or crystal but we won't take that out until we have room for it.
Ironing board! i didn't even register for it; my sisters bought it so they could make the 'lady' with my face on it etc. I hate it and want it gone! I never iron, if we need to i use the steamer.

yeah, I still don't get it Registries are supposed to make it easier for people, so that you're not wasting time GUESSING what the couple needs. A quarter of the people did keep to the list though, but me & dh were pretty disappointed when we had to go shopping later on for everything else our house was lacking. lol. Odd.

I really wanted my fondue set and panini grill... but both of them are still in the boxes. Like some pp's have said, we just don't have the room for them, so they've been sitting on a shelf in the basement for a year and 1/2. I will say, I am FINALLY going to use my china next weekend! We're having my parents, my sister and her bf over for dinner... our first dinner party. So even though it's not a fancy holiday or anything... I'm using it!

That's great. My mom always busts out her good dishes whenever she can. She always says 'If I can't use them, what's the point?'.
I think we just had normal dinner on them one night. I think using them for your dinner party is a great idea. :)

Right now we are in teeny apartment in NYC. Most of my stuff is at my parent's house until we move into a bigger place. I cannot WAIT to finally use our stuff. Our china is at my MIL's house, we took it out last weekend and I fell in love with it all over again! So pretty!

We got steak knives and a knive set that are still in storage. We have other knives so we are saving the good ones for a house.
Also, tablecloth, napkins and napking ring. We wont be using that until we get a dining room table.

Yes, I really wanted the pasta attachment for the mixer, and I used it once and will probably NEVER use it again.
us too. Its impossible to clean. Pissed me off so much I wanted to write a letter complaining about it
