| To the last question, yes, yes, yes, and yes.Where ever you register will have a list for you to refer to. I'm sure you will find things on that list that you didn't even think of. |

| Anything you need for the house is appropriate for the registry...including china. If your tastes change eventually...then you buy new stuff. The only rule of thumb is you don't register for personal items. And make sure there are items for all prices ranges. |

| I strongly disagree with your mother. china & sterling are very expensive and if you don't make an attempt to get started on it now you never will start - there's always something else to buy - if you start now you may have the motivation to finish the set as you go through life. if you're worried about getting something trendy there are tons of classic styles available online at places like michael c. fina.I'm also newly out of grad school and teaching on not too much money but I'm so glad I registered for china - why wouldn't you want something beautiful to remember your wedding forever? getting practical things is great for starting your life together but 10 years from now you're not going to think that rice cooker and those bath towels are special but everytime you sit down for thanksgiving and get to set a beautiful table, the years of collecting that china will seem meaningful and special.you have nothing but the practical on there - why not register for something special? |

| You did a great job. Don't worry about the china. When I was married I was more of a picnic basket girl. That we really used, china and crystal we would not have. Several years later we bought our own china and it really means a lot to us because we were focused on it, not a million other things like you are now. |

| Everything there is fine.I'd even register for China.. It makes it special to look at it and know that it was one of the first things you picked out together. I'd just go with something simple and classic. |

| All of the items you mentioned are acceptable including the china. If you are worried about styles changing, then just pick a classic pattern that will work well with everything. We chose a classic pattern (simple metal band detail) for our registry and then discovered we are receiving an heirloom set in a complimentary pattern. All of the pieces will work well together if we use the older set, but it's a 70 year old set, so we will want to be extremely careful with it. Either way, it's cool to see that some things never go out of style.Best wishes! |

| Register for everything you think you'll need in your house.We even registered for energy saving lightbulbs, rubbermaid storage tubs, tape measure, tool set, croquet set, -horseshoes and bochi ball-those were our favorites presents that we got-What about suitcases, digital camera, video camera, camera photo printer, kitchen aid mixer, wine rack, chip clips, cheese graterWalk up and down the aisles with the little scanner gun, anything you know you will use, scan it.It's not like you're going to have to buy it if you don't receive it.But be weary, you may end up getting stuff that you sort of wanted and not get the stuff that you really wanted. I wish there was a ranking you could give the stuff as to which you wanted the most.and to answer your last question, YES! those are appropriate.Good luck & congratulations!! |

| All of those things are appropriate. You can even put pictures/artwork to decorate, lamps, throw pillows. Anything for the house is appropriate. Some people even register at Home Depot and get patio furniture and tools. |

| You can register for all that you have listed . I would agree with your mom about the china . It would be horrible to have it and have it break when you move in to a new house. By then you may not even want china. Most place that you register will have a check list for you to look over and it will help you remember anything that you have forgotten. Target and bed bath and beyond have good check list and helpfully staff. |

| I would register for china now. A good china pattern is something lasting that both of you like. I don't think that classics like fine china will change. If anything your everyday plates are what changes with trends. Our china was around $100/setting-not something I would go run out and buy 12 of let alone everything that goes with it. I would also include your stemware and a different silver set for entertaining. Everything else looks fine. I would definitely register for a stand mixer -like a kitchen aid- I love mine and wouldn't be without one. |

| That list sounds fine. When you go to register, they usually give you a checklist as well but definitely go there with a list of the things you NEED to put on there.As for fine china and silverware, I think you should go ahead and register for that as well. I didn't want to initially, but was conviced to and am glad--it can be expensive. If you pick a timeless pattern though, you'll be able to use it forever. |
