Share

How much fun are you having building your wedding registry? You’ve been meticulously planning out the perfect registry for months, and are all set with your beautiful dinnerware, your complete flatware set, new towels, that amazing mint colored mixer, and those adorable napkins. Now all the things you have been coveting for you new home will soon be yours!

You might think you have everything you need, but we have a few  you might have missed. Here are our ten registry items we think you should add to your

Macy’s Wedding Registry

, that you may have forgotten about.

Wedding registry items dish rack trash can and vacuum cleaner


Dish Rack

That glorious China Set that you registered for is not dishwasher safe. Yes… you need to hand wash them! Luckily we can personally vouch for this

simplehuman Dish Rack

. It is really amazing! Even though we have a dishwasher, it is used daily. Our favorite feature is the oversized utensil holder for our knives that are not dishwasher safe, and that removable wine glass holder is great when we have guests over. Generally your wine glasses are dishwasher safe, but for your extra fancy ones you will want to wash them by hand.


Trash Can

Although a trash can is not exactly glamorous and tends to hide under the sink, it will more than likely be your most used gift. Choose one that will sort trash and recyclables, making you one step closer to saving the planet. Bonus! 

This smarthuman Trash Can

comes with a 10-year warranty! So, you can ask for another one at your ten year vow renewal.


Hamper

After you have organized your wardrobes, you’re going to need to put those dirty clothes somewhere. Register for a sturdy hamper like this

Neatfreak Hampers, Everfresh Laundry Triple Sorter

that doubles as an ironing board. Hello space saver! Plus this triple sorter has environmentally-friendly enzymes built into the fabric of the sorters to keep your laundry room stink and stench free. Since we all know your husbands socks do not smell April fresh.

A High Powered

Vacuum

like the

Dyson DC50

. This  mega machine works in parallel to increase airflow and capture even more microscopic dust. We promise that you will use this almost daily, and be happy that your floors and the air around you is clean. A higher priced registry item, but a must have!


Iron

Since you have that handy dandy new ironing board, upgrade to a new iron. The

Rowenta DG5030

is powered by steam, wrinkles virtually melt off your clothing. A little pricer than a regular iron, but unless you have just bought in a commercial laundry system for your own home, less trips to the dry cleaner…Hooray!

Wedding registry items for kitchen and closet storage


Roasting Pan

Guess whose turn it is to cook for the next holiday? Yep … yours. Trust us you will use it again and again to host your loved ones. Especially if you use this gorgeous

Mauviel Tri-Ply Copper Roasting Pan

… it will make you want to cook again and again. Bonus, it has a lifetime warranty, so it is your forever roasting pan – just like your love.


Serving Platter

Speaking of holidays, since you are getting the roasting pan, might as well get the platters too. You will need to cook the turkey and dish it up, even though those aluminum bakers pans are handy it will be an eye sore at your table. Be sure to register for extra platters and serving dishes to prepare for your first holiday dinner. Just like the

Villeroy & Boch Urban Nature Collection

above. We love the modern relaxed flair it has, and that it is dishwasher and microwave safe… bonus!


Food Storage

Since you are going to become an extraordinary chef with all your amazing new gadgets, you are going to have a lot of leftovers. Be sure to register for a food storage system that is also easily stored. The key to a spic and span space. We love ones with different colored lids to brighten things up like this

The Pyrex 19 Piece Bake, Store and Prep Set.


Herb and Spice Rack

Again, all about optimizing space and organizing your kitchen is key. You can toss out all of your free floating spices and use this

Martha Stewart space-saving spice rack

. Place it on your counter top, and it will not take up a lot of space, because it sits flush against the wall leaving lots of room for all those fancy meals you are going to make.


Closet Organizer

With this easy system, you can extend hanging space.

The Neat Freak Organization System

 does not require any tools for installation and is so easy to move and shift around when your wardrobe or your closet grows. With a one year warranty you can get a new one for your first anniversary if need be.

Although some of the items are not incredibly glamorous, we assure you they are all things you will use daily, and will be so glad you added them to your Macy’s wedding registry. Do you think we missed any? Let us know, helpful tips are always appreciated. Happy Wedding Planning!
