Which Appliances Do You Need Most on Your Registry?

Use our guide to match your style to the appliances you need most on your wedding gift registry!

Coffeemaker

If you're a morning person, you'll love starting your day with a delicious, freshly brewed, homemade cup of coffee. If you're not a morning person, a programmable coffeemaker will let you sleep in and wake up to one of life's most delicious aromas filling your home. The true connoisseur will appreciate a grind-and-brew model that automatically crushes your choice of beans, then brews the blend. Whether you jump into your day with both feet or need a little coaxing to get going in the morning, the right coffeemaker is a registry necessity.

Hand Mixer

If your hubby has a sweet tooth and you're a baker at heart, a mixer is a great choice for your registry. Hand mixers were once best for whipping up lighter concoctions, like frostings and cake mixes, but today's electric hand-held models can cut through even the heaviest batters and doughs. They also come in a variety of speeds, take up zero counter space, and feature a variety of attachments, making them a smart choice for smaller kitchens.

Blender

A quality blender is a popular choice for all sorts of brides, from the entertainer who whirls up cocktails for her guests, to the natural bride who loves smoothies. Want to offer your guests a variety of fun mixed drinks when you entertain? You can mix individual glasses with a hand blender that saves on space and frees up your standing blender for larger batches of cocktails.

Food Processor

If your schedule is hectic, or you love cooking for hours, a food processor is the tool for you. All of your chopping, slicing, shredding, and even kneading is done for you. You can whip up fresh salsa in minutes, or chop vegetables for stir-fry in a flash. If you don't like to cook, a processor cuts down on your time in the kitchen; and if you do like to cook, it will make complicated dishes even easier.

Now that you've matched your style to the best appliances for you, make sure you add the right mix of cooking accessories to your registry. Your guests will thank you for giving them lots of options, and you'll have everything you need for the kitchen that fits your style.
