The Newlywed Bed

Often times, brides forget to register for bedding. But isn't this where the magic happens for a newly wed couple? I think this is a big mistake, bedding should definitely be on the registry! Here are some things to think about when registering for bedding:

Style. Two styles merge into one. Will your husband want to sleep under a floral duvet? Start the marriage out with compromising - something you'll need to learn a lot about ;) Pick a style and look that you both will feel comfortable with.

Quantity. You will want to register for at least two sets of sheets (three if you have a guest bedroom). This allows you to have one set in the laundry while the other set is on your bed. This way your bed will never go bare!

Padding. You and your soon-to-be husband deserve to start your life together fresh. Think of adding a feather-bed or mattress pad to your mattress. These products a more comfortable bed for a good night's rest. They can also help to absorb movement - so when he rolls over, he won't wake you! Pillows also make a difference in a restful night, so if you don't have good ones, now is the time.

Quality. Bedding is an investment, with care it should last a long time. So, now is the time to get the good stuff! It would be a shame to have to throw away a gift a guest gave you after just a few short months...

Please keep these things in mind when creating your bridal registry. Sallie home has everything you'll need to start a beautiful life together, register now with just a click!

10 Things to Know About Bridal Registry

If you are among the masses who recently got engaged over this post holiday season, or know someone that did, here are some tips and advice before you start registering.

1. This is your ultimate wish-list. It's okay to ask for "splurge" items.
2. When creating your registry, don't be afraid to ask in-store consultants questions and advice.
3. Always register for more gifts than you have guests. And remember to choose gifts for all price ranges to give guest options.
4. Register more than one place to make it easier for guests to buy gifts, and make sure these stores have online bridal registries for out of town guests.
5. Register early so guests can rely on your registry for all gift giving events, including the engagement party, bridal showers, and the wedding.
6. Think of the sort of living and entertaining you want to do - and select items accordingly. Will you ever need that Soup Tureen? Do you want sterling silver?
7. When it comes to tableware, it is okay to mix patterns and shapes.
8. Include your husband in the registry decisions - he will be using these items, too.
9. Register items to consider: table, bath and bed linens; flatware; cookware and bakeware; dinnerware - everyday and fancy; crystal - white wine, crystal, champagne, and cocktail glasses; things for entertaining - cheese board, barware, candlesticks...
10. Give your registry information to your immediate family and those who are throwing parties and let them spread the word. If you have a wedding website, like knot.com, include a section for your places of registry.
