We’ve compiled a handy outline of everything you need for the future, plus some fun extras.
You’ve set the date, now let’s get started! This is your chance to fill your home with pieces you’ll love for years to come. It’s also the best way to get wedding gifts you actually want—and to help friends and family find something you’ll both love.
We recommend adding presents before your first celebration (like the engagement party or wedding shower) and going back between events to ensure there are ample gifting options. Plus, be sure to include a link to your registry on your wedding website so it’s easily accessible.
How many gifts do you need? A good rule of thumb is two gifts for every person on your guest list in a range of price points. This gives them plenty of gifting choices (and perks for you, since couples registered at Bloomingdale’s get 20% off items remaining on their registry for six months after their wedding day).
For more inspo, you can explore our curated registries, connect with your dedicated Registry Concierge, or reference our convenient home guides.
From Sunday brunches for two to hosting the entire family for the holidays, plan on service for 8–12 people for a lifetime of delicious meals. Opt for a dinnerware set for everyday and one for entertaining, or find one that works for both—you can always mix and match with dessert plates or table linens. However you style your table, our dinnerware guide is filled with tips and tricks for choosing pieces that work for you.
Not only do the perfect pieces prepare you for hosting and the holidays, they also serve as the backdrop to the entire meal. We like to think of it this way: Cheese on a plate is a snack. Cheese laid out on a platter with all the accoutrements is an event.
From wide-mouthed martini glasses to champagne-enhancing flutes, the right glassware ensures that cocktails hit your taste buds the way they should (not to mention they look pretty great, too!). Be sure you have enough for all your guests (service for 8–12 is a good start)—plus a couple extras just in case. And, if you don’t know your highball from your old fashioned just yet, our glassware guide breaks it all down for you.
Now is the time to completely stock your kitchen from top to bottom: a versatile cookware set, a colorful Dutch oven, plus all the tools and accessories you’ll need to make any recipe a reality. Get your culinary journey started with our cookware guide, which is packed with expert-worthy tips you won’t want to miss.
That stand mixer and espresso machine you’ve always wanted are outstanding registry items. Not only are electrics the ultimate time-savers, but their versatility also lets you get creative with your menu.

Quality towels can really bring the spa vibes, whether you like your linens thick and plush or lightweight and absorbent—just be sure to get enough for you, your guests, and laundry day. And as an added indulgence, register for two ultra-cozy robes (your next staycation will thank you!).
As the place where you start and end your day, your bed should both fit your unique sleep style and also best represent your idea of luxurious comfort. For help choosing the perfect pillow, sheets you’ll love, and all things linens, check out our bedding guide.
A picture frame displaying your wedding photo, a vase showcasing a bouquet of “just because” flowers—well-appointed décor shows off your personality while giving guests fun registry items to choose from.
From a last-minute weekend away to the long-awaited honeymoon, your adventures together are just beginning. A well-designed luggage set that marries function and style will see you through it all.
