“The Registry” Essentials – Part 3 – The Groom

In our final guide to registry essentials, we want to bring the groom into the process as well as highlight a few sundry items. Seems like we have left the groom out totally…not yet!  There is always barware.  We suggest that you let your guy choose the barware.  Family and friends of the groom really LIKE to purchase gifts for HIM.  Here’s their opportunity:

• 4 double old fashioned glasses
• 4 highball glasses
• 4 casual white wine glasses
• 4 cabernet glasses
• 4 pinot noir glasses
• 1 wine decanter/carafe
• 1 corkscrew
• 1-3 whiskey decanters
• Ice bucket
• Acrylic barware is also nice for outside/poolside entertaining

Remember, all of the above are not necessary.  It simply depends on what and if the couple enjoys alcoholic beverages.

Featured: Harry’s Goblet $170; Pewter wine coaster with wood insert $130; Crystal wine decanter with pewter collar and base $110; Convivio ceramic dinner plate rimmed in pewter $101; All items by Match and made in Italy (Photo by Katie Adler).

And finally, for the truly miscellaneous!  Here are items you won’t think about, but will use day in and day out:

• Crystal/glass pitchers, ceramic or metal pitchers, vases, candlesticks, trays (large trays can turn an ottoman into an instant coffee table), casserole dishes/bakers, cheese boards, chip & dips, salad servers

We hope this helps the latest brides-to-be!  Remember to register for items that reflects your lifestyle. Now is the time to “stock up” on the essentials. Please drop by The Registry and let us help you put together your perfect registry!

Did you know? “Harry’s Goblet “ by Match, as featured in the above photo, are the ACTUAL goblets used in all of the Harry Potter movies. You can see the goblets featured when the actors were sitting at the dining room long tables at ‘school’. They are made of pewter and gold in Italy.

“The Registry” Essentials – Part 2

Today we focus on designing the perfect table to complement your lifestyle. From fine china to casual entertaining, flatware to stemware, we continue our guide to your registry essentials.

Jars: vase $207 (florals available in store); Juliska: Country Estate Pitcher - $150; Emerson large & small mouthblown goblets $89ea/$84ea; & Pewterware nut bowls $12ea. Julia Knight: 12” beveled handled tray $248. (Photo by Katie Adler).

If you think your lifestyle will involve lots of entertaining, register for fine china. This is YOUR time. In general men don’t ‘get’ china, just like in general  women don’t get golf clubs…so acquire your china through your registry now…eliminating future monetary arguments over what ‘he’ might consider a ‘frivolous’ purchase.

• Register for no less than 8 dinner plates, 12 is the optimum.  Register for equal numbers in salad/dessert plates.  A smart choice is to register for TWICE the number of dinner plates when choosing salad/dessert plates.  Remember, you will use your salad/dessert plates for just that, salad AND dessert.  So unless you plan to have a kitchen staff to wash your plates between courses, this can be a great idea.  This also gives you a chance to choose TWO different coordinating plates.
• Bread & butter plates are optional…but always nice to have.
• Cups & saucers are also optional.  Even today many couples retire to a more casual space for dessert and the kitchen mugs are used for coffee.  But if you do choose cups & saucers, you will probably not need 12…6-8 is optimum.  Remember, not everyone drinks coffee.

Flatware --the ultimate essential!

Flatware…well, many women still consider sterling a must…and we love sterling…the older, the better!  Patina! Patina! Patina!  Lucky is the bride who inherits grandmother’s silver.  But, realistically, sterling is expensive and more so each day, so remember there are many, lovely 18/10 stainless patterns that pair beautifully with both fine china and casual dinnerware.

• IF your mother and/or grandmother have a sterling pattern, choose that pattern if you like it even a little bit.  It is a wonderful opportunity to have sterling, and have quite a bit…and make the generations happy too.
• Be sure to register for at least the same number of flatware place settings as you did dinner plates.  And again, twice as many salad forks and teaspoons can be a bonus.

Glassware can be difficult to choose.  Do you want lead crystal? (Lead crystal sold in the US has to pass criterion that meets total safety standards.)  Crystal is for the most part heirloom in quality, but you will pay a price for that.  IF crystal prices are not in your budget, there are many mouth blown glass products that are simply beautiful and pair perfectly with fine china.  If you are worried about breakage over the years, other options include sterling silver, silverplate or pewter water goblets or julep cups…still hand wash only, but not breakable.

• Register for the same number of glasses as your dinner plates.
• It is not necessary to have a ‘suite’ of glasses:  water, wine, ice tea.  Today’s bride might choose one larger wine glass that could be used for either white or red wine and she might choose either a tumbler or short stemmed glass for water or ice tea.   AND the glasses can coordinate.  They don’t have to MATCH.  Mixing and matching adds an eclectic flair and interest to the table.
• Champagne flutes are truly a personal choice.  IF you love champagne, by all means choose them; otherwise, choose a pair of especially beautiful flutes to use for your wedding toast.

Simon Pearce - Cotton Napkins SET/4 ($88)

Then there are table linens.  Often the younger couple doesn’t even have a dining table yet, so tablecloths are very difficult to choose.  BUT, lovely linen napkins are invaluable.  They will last for years and can make a table sparkle.

• Possibly choose a red, gold or silver napkin for use during the holidays.
• Pastels look great in the spring.
• Brighter colors for summer.
• Always have 12white linen napkins for use anytime and throughout a lifetime.
