Are you getting married and trying to figure out what you need for gifts? Of all the things pertaining to a wedding, this is the most frustrating and exciting at the same time. First, some couples are getting married for the second time and therefore, have very specific gift needs while other couples are young and just stating out, which means they need everything. No matter what your situation, you will have the responsibility of registering for gifts so people know what to buy.
One of the best ways to do this is start wit one room and determine, the things the two of you already have and then what things you still need. Continue through each room of the house until you have finished. The result is that you will have an organized list of things you want and need. Now, if you like, you can actually break the list down by need versus want.
To give you an idea to the types of items you would typically see on a gift registry, consider the following. Keep in mind this list is not all-inclusive.

Keep in mind that to get more gifts, you need to accommodate different financial levels. In other words, rather than register everything at a high-end department store, choose some nice retail stores as well such as Target, Marshalls, or Wal-Mart. That way, you can list some inexpensive items that guests on a budget can afford. For instance, you could register for corn-on-the cob holders, spices, or hand towels, all inexpensive but very nice gifts.
