Registry

With just about 2 years to go wedding plans have been kind of erratic. It is hard figuring out what we should set in stone now, and what we should wait on. Some things are good to plan early while others are better to wait on. Overall we have our wedding mapped out, it is just a matter of setting aside the finances and putting those ideas in stone.

One of the plans in question now is the registry. Registries are a funny thing, at this day and age the majority of couples live together prior to getting married, so many items you would register for you already have. My mom has asked that we start putting some things on a registry to help the family get things we need in the meantime for holidays and birthdays. Again, it is hard to figure out what you'll need now or in a couple years down the road. No I don't think I'll use a good china set in our house in Conshohocken, but will we want one down the road when we have a bigger space to entertain in? 

Quoc also made a good point that people register for things based on the idea that if they had it they would use it. Like a milkshake maker or some other contraption. I also can't see spending a ridiculous amount of money on some object when I can get the exact same thing at Marshalls for a fraction of the price.

At this point we decided to make a list of everything we really wanted and could use (and would use) before we made any decisions. Until then we will just make wish lists for our holidays and birthdays.
