If your household basics are already covered, your wedding registry is the perfect opportunity to add some fun into your newlywed life. It's a chance to gather go-tos for every occasion—from quiet breakfasts to that big holiday bash. 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.

The Details: BonJour 6-cup stove-top espresso maker, $60, potsandpans.com. Michele Varian "Simple" linen sheets, in Blush, from $198, michelevarian.com.

Cozy Night In

Credit: Graham Pollack

Sci-fi movie marathon? Snowstorm? Staying home doesn't mean takeout (necessarily). Make your own versions of your comfort-food faves—like pizza, chili, potpies, and popcorn—and your house will quickly become your first-choice destination on Saturday nights. 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

Credit: Graham Pollack

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.

The Details: Crate and Barrel "Milada" centerpiece taper candle holder, $50, crateandbarrel.com.
