Once people find out you're engaged, you'll want to go ahead and start on your registry. People will be so excited for you and will start asking immediately where you're registered. Be a planner and be able to direct them to your registry so you don't have to think of something random, or try to politely decline. No matter how much you politely decline, you'll still receive gifts- so wouldn't it be great to get something that you know you want and will use? Real Simple has a lovely checklist available here.
Plan to include extra place settings, linens, and things like coffee mugs and towels for when you have guests. Oh, you think ten towels sounds like a lot? Just wait until family decides to pop in and stay for a few days... you'll need them! Remember- people want to stock your household, and are excited to do it! Register for gifts of all price ranges so family and friends with all kinds of budgets can buy off your registry.
Have fun on your registry day or days, and remember to think outside the box.
