Wedding Registry - What an Idea! Whoever thought of it, and whatever your needs, a wedding registry is a great way to get your new life together off to a great start. For younger couples just starting out, you'll need a comprehensive registry to take you from college dorm hand me downs to a cohesive assortment of home keeping essentials like toasters and towels etc. If you've both been on your own for a while, the last thing you need is a third toaster - (though some matching towels could be in order!)  For you. there are an abundance of sites perfect for your situation, from socially responsible sites, with home decor items made by hands in third world countries to honeymoon and experience registries that will feather your nest with great memories instead of another coffee maker you don't need.
