The Wedding Registry Checklist

Many couples that I work with as a wedding planner are also in the process of purchasing their first home. If you've always lived elsewhere, it's hard to figure out exactly what you need... I've compiled the ultimate checklist for getting your first home organized and fully stocked. 

Even if you've lived together for a few years, be sure to scan the list to see what you might be able to add. Your wedding registry is the time to ask for some of those entertaining pieces. You might not be hosting Thanksgiving just yet; however, one day you'll be glad to have larger serving sets and enough flatware for the feast.
