You both love the opportunity to host–a dinner party, a holiday festivity, a game night. You are planning an epic wedding day celebration. You want your newlywed home to be a social hub for your loved ones. The more the merrier, right? Your union is about creating a family and having a sense of community. You want married life to be about gathering and sharing experiences, with food, drinks, and lots of baked goods on display. 
Make the most of your wedding registry by equipping your gift list with everything you need to entertain.

You two know how to party. And, better yet, how to throw a party. For the wedding guests toasting to your love, include registry items for a fully stocked home bar. Register for cocktail shakers and drink dispensers, get bubbly with a soda stream, and don’t forget gadgets like bottle openers and muddlers. You two either have a bar setup in mind, or you can include a bar cart on the registry and deck it out with everything else on the list.

The Basics

For the boozy basics, you’ll want to have ice on hand, so if you don’t have a freezer with an ice maker, add ice cube trays to the list.

And a bottle opener is, well, kind of necessary to get the party started.

Promise they’ll come in handy, both for entertaining and for meals at home for the two of you. Anticipate the ask to pass the salt and pepper shakers by adding a set to the registry list.
