WEDDING REGISTRY CHECKLIST
Before you compile your wedding registry, browse our convenient wedding registry checklist below to make sure your registry is thorough and comprehensive. You can also print it out to help keep you organized as you select items.
Dining
One place setting equals one person. For fine dining, get enough for each of your guests for your biggest dinner party. (That's usually at least 12 place settings.) For casual dining, 12-16 place settings will ensure you don't run out of clean dishes.

Bed
Why should you have multiple sets of bed linens? Unless you plan on washing and putting one set on your bed in one day's work. You'll want multiples: one set on the bed, one in the laundry, and one in the linen closet. The same logic applies to any guest or kid's rooms.
