What's the bare minimum your registry should include? Here are the top must-have basics for newlyweds starting out. 1 . Casual Dinnerware 
A good set of everyday tableware can tastefully carry you from breakfast and dinner to casual entertaining.
Get maximum use from your dinnerware. Choose a style in cream or white that can be easily dressed up or down.
A colorful exemplar can add brightness to your table, and be accented with a wide range of colors.
Attractive microwave- and dishwasher-safe options. Or a five-piece setting includes a dinner plate, salad plate, soup/pasta bowl, a cup, and a saucer. 2. Casual Glassware
You'll use your wedding crystal for special occasions, for daily use you need informal glassware.
- Robust glasses may not be as fine as your formal crystal, but still come in a range of pretty designs, styles, and colors.
- Goblet-style glasses do double duty, as they're elegant enough for entertaining but casual enough for everyday use.
You should make sure you register for a wide range for your guests to choose from, such as wineglasses, water glasses, juice glasses, and tumblers. 3. 20-piece Flatware Set
Even if you plan to register for silver, every home needs a set of flatware for everyday use. Durable is polished stainless steel, and can be found in a variety of beautiful styles.
Look for dishwasher-safe stainless-steel sets that mimic the sheen of silver-plated flatware - without the risk of tarnish.
You can register for a complete set of 20 pieces, or for four five-piece place settings. A five-piece place setting should include a dinner fork, a salad fork, a dinner knife, a soupspoon and a teaspoon. 4. Mixing Bowls
A set of mixing bowls may not sound like a very festive wedding present, but you'll change your mind fast when you don't have a bowl big enough to mix in.
A quality glass bowls set ensures you have a variety of sizes to meet your needs, and can double as pretty serving bowls as well.
