When you are planning your wedding, it is customary to sign up for one or more gift registries. A gift registry is a list of items you would like to receive; it helps your guests select items that will fit with your needs, taste and decorating scheme.
When you select items for your registry, keep in mind the things you already have and assess your needs. Do you want to replace existing items or coordinate with them? What basics do you not have? Do you plan to do formal entertaining or do you need more items for casual dining?
The following is a comprehensive list of items to consider when filling out a traditional wedding gift registry:
