Of all the things couples have to do before their wedding day, creating a registry may be one of the most difficult. Sure it's fun build a wish list of items that other people will buy for you. But if you're not careful, you may wind up with a closet full of unwanted gifts that can't be returned. (Though there is the re-gifting option.)
We spoke to real couples and looked on Weddingbee and Reddit forums to find out which gifts real couples say that they could have done without.
Single-use kitchen supplies
"Any kitchen item that is for a sole purpose (popcorn maker, quesadilla maker, etc). If you can make the thing with something else in your kitchen, it's not worth registering for." - Redditor Registerednerd
Fewer towels
"I wish we'd done less kitchen towels and more sheets." - Redditor PolskaPrincess
Non-stacking dinner plates
"I wish I had paid more attention to how our chosen dinner plates stacked, we regret the choice. We got some ceramic design that looks cool but it takes three times the amount of space in the cabinets and the depth of the bowls require us to load the dishwasher with many fewer dishes than before.
Of all our wedding registry items this has proven to be the least practical decision. When you are all excited with the price gun at the BB&B (Bed, Bath, and Beyond) you aren't considering how more than one place setting fits in your cabinets and dishwasher." - Redditor Blibidy
