Look through our slideshow of registry must-haves that will prepare you for breakfast in bed, game night, a cozy night in and festive parties. You two will be the hosts of the year (and years to come), all thanks to these items.
Wake Up Call
Coffee and comfy sheets make for a very good morning. There are few things as luxurious as enjoying a meal in bed—especially when the meal is prepared by someone you love. Turn lazy weekend mornings into mini events with the supplies to make the very best toast, eggs, coffee, and juice. Serve it all on dishes that make you happy every day, and a tray that converts to a convenient side table. Just add soft, beautiful bedding, and you may not get up all day.

Cozy Night In
Sci-fi movie marathon? Snowstorm? Staying home doesn't mean takeout (necessarily).

Just be sure to have some tunes at the ready, a well-stocked bar, and cozy blankets and slippers to ward off the chill.

Festive Dinner Party
Throwing fancy soirées at home can intimidate the most experienced hosts. But this is where having those classic investment pieces really pays off. Watch how beautifully your table comes together when you set it with glimmering china and linen napkins, and finish with flower arrangements, candles, and place cards. Events like these are worth recording for posterity, and a good journal will see you through many happy years.
