In your excitement about registering for gifts, I think you’ve lost all sight of what a blessing it truely is to recieve wedding presents. Who cares if your spatulas match your mixing bowls–at least you have a kitchen. At least you have somewhere to live. And youre giddy over a trashcan? Pide is a sin.

registering is exciting!! ..and who wouldn’t their spatulas to match their mixing bowls?! i love it! happy hunting!

Registry items can really spill about the bride/groom. My brother registered for a microscope?? I mean, come on. What a nerd. But my cousin went to her new SIL’s wedding, and the whole family was appalled by what the new bride registered for, like they were the Trumps. Sadly, the bride acted like a veruca, and now the whole family is a little soured against her. Registries are a touchy subject it seems, sometimes.
We’re only registering for the things we really need, since we’ve lived together 2 years, most stuff has already be bought, so there isn’t much to ask for.

Can I mention that cupcake pan is the coolest thing? Awesome!!

go to a store and play with the mixer — take the bowl out and put it back in, switch out the attachments, etc.
some people end up disliking the crank-up bowl and swap out for the tilt-back head; it’s smaller and less powerful, but they will actually use it!

p.s. register for more towels and bedding; those won’t last forever like a kitchenaid will!

I actually haven’t even registered yet! I know Anthroplogie has a “wish list” but I”m not expecting many people to go there. Thanks for understanding where I was going with the post people..I promise…I’m not really that selfish! (Okay..maybe a little. Who am I kidding? I love pretty things!)

ooh, nice stuff you picked out! we’re def. getting a kitchenaid for mr. violet.. he’s the baker. and i love to eat. haha. the garbage can is another must have.. but we want a rectangular one instead. the canisters are cool, very french.. and i like your light green theme going on.. very shabby chic.

we haven’t registered yet though, we plan on moving out soon and we’ll be buying some things already..

Miss Strawberry, I love you! I think it’s great to have the spectrum of price ranges when registering, and of course if someone can’t afford the KitchenAid, then they can get the spatulas.

I love my KitchenAid. The one time I’ve used it, I enjoyed it.

I am excited to register as well to replace all the old, poor quality things we took in as hand-me-downs when we moved in together. I know it’s not at all about the gifts and I don’t plan on registering for anything we don’t need, but this is a part of weddings (guests like to have ideas/suggestions) and can be a very fun part if done with your FI, too.

I always wonder how many people that register for their kitchenaid actually use them more than once a year. It seems like the standard wedding thing you register for, but if you baked regularly you’d probably already have one!
