Adding items to your bridal shower registry can be a very fun experience. It can also be a bit overwhelming though. How do you know what things you will need? Here are a few things to think about that may be easy to overlook.
Window Coverings: Depending on what type of living situation you will have after you get married, this could be an essential item. Many apartments do have shades or blinds already installed, but some do not. Also if you are purchasing a home, you may need to buy your own window coverings. Either way, you will probably still want to buy some curtains to cover a basic window shade or set of blinds. You would be surprised at how much these items can cost. You won't want to overlook these items on your bridal shower registry.
Shower Curtain: This isn't the most glamorous item on your registry, but it is a definite necessity. In fact, you may want to purchase a cheap curtain just in case you don't get this item from your registry list. You'll be singing the blues if you realize after the first day in your new living situation that you don't have a shower curtain.
Outdoor Items: It can be easy to get focused on indoor items for your wedding gift list. Usually the kitchen, bath, and bedroom are the primary areas that people think about when creating their bridal gift registry. Try thinking outside the box. Would it be fun to have a BBQ? How about patio furniture? What about practical things like a hose and a planter? Lawn mower? These items can be pretty pricey, so it is a great idea to add some of them to your list.
A helpful thing to do at the beginning of this process is write down a list of all the rooms in your new house/apartment (including the garage, patio, etc...). Then go through each room and think of things you might need. You'll be amazed at some of the basic necessities that you would have otherwise missed.
