Additional registry items?

Additional registry items?

My wedding is in 10 days and things are FLYING off the registry. We have registered for everything we want and need, and now can't think of anything additional to register for to satisfy the demand!

What things did you add last minute?

We already have fine china, silverware, wine glasses, bedding, towels, blender, juicer, panini, toaster oven, small kitchen utensils (like measuring cups and mixing bowls), pots/pans.

We live in a one bedroom apartment and don't have a lot of space for big things.

You can always add sheets and towels you can never have to many of them--i have not added anything- i still had a few left on my registry after my shower- i dont think anyone else is going to get us anything off it but you never know- i may have to keep an eye on it from now until the wedding!

I added a wine fridge - a tiny table top one - but they also have one-bottle chillers that plug in, pretty cool looking.

what about beer glasses, different color table clothes, napkins, wall/table decorations?

We got the table top wine fridge and we LOVE it .. Except FH likes to store his paint balls in there..

What about other kitchen electrics like a griddler, blender or food processor? I'm not sure if you have the space but we registered for an outdoor gas grill. My friends love camping so they added all this camping stuff last minute to theirs. They also started running out of ideas and started registering for board games since they have game nights lol.

i had to do the same thing and we were registered at BBB. I went on the website and just started browsing around. I ended up adding stuff like sheets, towels, picture frames and butter boy!

I really don't want presents for my wedding. I would rather have $$$.

I've been adding things for the completion! Some people have bought things off it, but whatever. I've added things like paintings, new vaccuum, etc. Most places give you 2 years to purchase the remaining items at a discount so that's why I'm adding.

Yes - we all would like $$ -- but some people won't give money, they'll give you a gift. So unless you want them to buy whatever they feel like, it's a good idea to make sure your registry has a few bigger items on it just in case.

Re: Additional registry items?

these are some of the things we added after the shower..

art work or things to decorate with like candles, shelving ..scones..Picture frames..etc...

extra sets of sheets and towels are always great and easy to store if your lacking space...
some extra sets of space bags to store other things...
i put those on my registry cause we don't have enough room for storage and i love them!!!!!!

Xmas is coming.. and so is halloween..so did add a few seasonal things..

smoothie maker...a hamper, china storage set, and little things like.. corn holders, cheese spreaders, kitchen timer..etc..

Re: Additional registry items?

do you have a good toaster oven? we have the krups one from BBB and it's amazing. we use it to bake things all the time and they come out wonderful and no pre-heating!

also, serving platters and bowls come in handy.

we got a set of glass mixing bowls (all different sizes from tiny to big) which has been fun to use.

a new duster buster or a garment steamer.

the griddler

Don't forget to add things like linens. When you have company over now and even when you get a bigger place you'll have nice linens to put on the table. This is a great time too because there are holiday ones out.

Re: Additional registry items?

Thanks ladies. I have ALL of these things already on my registry. I even added stuff I don't really need but like (like a crystal water pitcher, vase, champagne flutes and a set of 4 towels).

people will just give you gift cards for the stores you registered for or cash

Re: Additional registry items?

you already have things like an iron/ironing board, vacuum, broom & duster... those kinds of things?

I'd just ask for gift certificates, honestly. Then you decide what you want at your own pace

Yes we do. We are going to have 250+ people at our wedding and there's no way we can choose registry items for all of them, and have those gifts fits into a one bedroom apartment!

Well, not everybody gets you a gift tho,right? In my experience, it's only the shower guests who get you something. For the actual wedding, you just receive money from everybody. And the shower is only supposed to be filled with the women invited to the Wedding anyway. So you have 250 Women coming? That's a LOT! Yeah, I would be nervous about fitting all that stuff into a little apartment also. lol. Gift Certificates!!! Then you can buy stuff later. Or maybe people will get creative and give you gift certificates to your favorite restaurants & such. Maybe your MOH can suggest that to people/??

So far, most of my friends (guys and girls) and FH's friends (guys and girls) have purchased off the registry. 23 women came to my shower (18 of which are relatives).
