In this video I’m sharing all of our wedding registry must-haves across Amazon, Target, Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, Anthropologie, and Pottery Barn—because setting up a registry can feel so overwhelming when you’re basically starting from scratch. When I first sat down to do ours, I was like… where do I even start? So I used a checklist from The Knot (we built our wedding website there), and it helped me make sure we weren’t forgetting the basics—from pots and pans to bedding and those bigger “adulting” items. I walk through what we registered for at each store and why. Amazon and Target were where we put most of the practical essentials (vacuum, tower fan, cutting boards, Ninja blender and air fryer, Swiffer WetJet, drying rack, toaster, and more). Target was also great for a dish set, Lazy Susan, Castle Luna comforter, and my favorite budget-friendly find: the 17-piece OXO utensil set. Then I share the “fun” Anthropologie picks (monogram mugs and cute glassware), the nicer kitchen upgrades from Crate & Barrel and Williams Sonoma (knife set, towels, bakeware), and finally our Pottery Barn bedding because I wanted something that would last us for the long haul. I also talk about why we did a cash fund for furniture instead of registering for pieces we hadn’t seen in person yet.
