The Essential Wedding Registry Checklist For Your Kitchen

The basics you absolutely need — and what brand, and what size — then some next-level things you might just want.



Chris Ritter


By now you know that getting engaged mean you're instantly bombarded by annoying logistics, and one of them is setting up your wedding registry. With this, I can help!


I recommend registering at Williams-Sonoma and Amazon for kitchen equipment (or Bed, Bath, and Beyond if the prices at Williams-Sonoma offend you). But Williams-Sonoma has the best selection of high-quality kitchen equipment — Amazon has the few essential cool things that Williams-Sonoma does not — and now is the time to treat yourself to pots and pans that will last a lifetime.


Williams-Sonoma does sell a lot of overpriced, useless things like stainless-steel monogrammed salt and pepper mills that are, for some reason, electric. You will not find those things on my list. The suggestions I have made below are not a waste of money. (And one huge plus with Williams-Sonoma, you can return for credit at West Elm or Pottery Barn).


There are also categories of things you might want on your registry that aren't covered in this post: bedding, bathroom, dinnerware, home decor, luggage. Most of these items are a matter of style, so you might register at Crate & Barrel if you like clean modern design or at Bloomingdales if you want fancy name brands. I've included a master list of all those things at the bottom of this post, but won't go into them or brand recommendations in detail.


NO. This post is divided up into BASICS that everyone needs and then after that, NEXT-LEVEL stuff you might want, depending on your interests. Maybe you're thinking you don't really want a lot of cooking stuff, you're registering for it because that's what people do. OR maybe you cook for yourself and host dinner parties occasionally, but you'd like to do those things more often, and you think it would help if you had more/better stuff. In that case, get the basics, browse the others, email me with questions.
