I know it's normal to not get everything on your registry, I'm ok with that. When you figured out what you did want to complete sets of (for example, dishes) did you go fill the set yourself?
I am trying to decide what I would rather have all of: the dishes, the kitchen aid stuff, or bedding. If you could pick, which 2 of those 3 big ticket items/sets would you pick? If you picked the dishes, how many place settings would you buy for (6,8,10,12?)
Re: silly question for marrieds
If I had to choose though, I'd probably say dishes and bedding.
Life is good today.
I'd go for bedding, but I guess we don't really match on that either. I just want nice sheets that clean better than the low thread count ones we have now. So... sheets. I'd do sheets.
Man, I'm gonna be a shitty bride. All you ladies are all fancy-schmancy and our home is like Animal House or the Thunderdome.

[QUOTE]<strong>I'm not married but I'd say dishes first (but I HATE when dishes don't match...it really, really bothers me) and I'd get a service for at the very least 8. Second I'd choose bedding because again non-matching bugs me but I know I'm weird. </strong>KitchenAid I feel is more of a fun kitchen gadget than a necessity so I'd save that for last.

Ditto this! KitchenAid = awesome but my annoyance of non-matching dishes/bedding would win out.
I haz a planning bio
I'm most annoyed about our dish situation - they are a hodge podge of my college classic cheap stuff, plastic ware, and chipped partial set his mom gave us. It has bothered me that not only do they not match... we have to use plastic plates if we have more than 7 people over. So dishes are first - service for 12, including a serving bowl, a platter, a sauce bowl, and 12 all every day bowls (cereal or soup size).
I won't have enough $ for a complete set of the kitchen aid or bedding, but I know that stuff goes super cheap on Memorial day and black Friday. I'll save the gift cards for those holidays and see what I can do with it.
I'm super impatient, I just want it all done!!
Then bedding.
Then anything else.
Of course, FI and I already have our "everyday" dishes, which are plain white but still a complete set. I only registered for dishes in the first place so that I could decorate our dinette set with them. I got service for 4.
So the KitchenAid stuff would be my first buy if I were you.
