Think About Wedding Gifts

You are most certainly correct there are those gifts that go unappreciated after the wedding.

Certainly a Gift Registry would be helpful.

I would recommend registering with two or three stores.

Some people have developed a grudge against a particular store and will not shop there no matter what.

When you register, make sure your registry lists do not contain the same items, make the list different at different locations.

With that being said I will tell you that my wife and I have been married nine years now.

And...

There are two gifts we still use and appreciate from our wedding day:

The first one is a very nice heavy salad bowl that is used for family dinners and special occasions.

The second is a blanket and comforter set.

We first placed the set on the bed after we returned from the honeymoon.

The set has cycled in and out with wash cycles and is finally getting to a point where we need to think about replacing it.

A new couple is just starting out, support them by purchasing items off the list or the more expensive items.

Most newly wed couples can afford the $15 toaster or the $20 coffee maker.

No Matter the gift PUT some thought into it.

It never hurts to ask couples who have been married for a while what they appreciated the most on their wedding day.
