Wedding Registry Cookware | What should I register for?

Sponsored with love by Anolon

Back in 2013 when we were engaged, our wedding registry was a bit overwhelming, to say the least. There were so many options for everything. Which brand is best? What color is best? What can we actually agree on? It took us forever and it was not as fun as we had imagined it.

But you know what was fun? Getting gifts in the mail one by one leading up to our wedding day, opening up those packages and filling out kitchen with brand, sparkling new cookware.

You see, neither of us had ever had nice cookware. We were just out of college and had maybe two pots and pans in each of our kitchens so opening up that box and seeing that expensive, shiny cookware was like a dream. We were real adults now.

The first time we got to cook with our new kitchenware, we were so excited. We chose our kitchenware based on price -- they were one of the most expensive sets we could find so that meant they were super nice, yeah?

Wrong.

We were totally wrong. We went to cook for the first time and everything stuck. We burned one pan and the other we couldn't even wash off after scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing....and that was after using plenty of oil with cooking too. It was a nightmare, we wanted to ditch our expensive pans immediately and actually do research on the best pans to add to our wedding registry.

And so, I'm here to prevent the same thing from happening to you.

Amazon Wedding Registry | Your Chance to Win $5000

 Let's talk wedding registries.

When we were starting to look at registries for our wedding it was hard...really hard. We wanted the bedding from one store, the towels from another, silverware from a third store and some kitchen items from another. And it wasn't fun. We decided it may be a but silly to register at four different retailers so we narrowed it down and settled on two.

I sure wish there was a way to keep it all streamlined and register in just one place for all of the items you love. Oh wait, there IS a way.

Amazon Wedding Registry

Yep, it's true! Your favorite place to shop (or at least it's my favorite) has a wedding registry program and it's for everyone -- it's a must.

-- It's mobile friendly so you can make updates and add items as you think of them, on the go!
-- They've got the world's largest selection of products so you get to register in one place and one place only all while shopping your favorite retailers.
-- Amazon prime members get a 20% completion discount (10% for non members) for the gifts you don't receive so if I were you, I'd sign up for Prime to get that discount for yourself.

It's simple, it's easy, it's all-in-one-place wedding registry perfection.

Want to win $5000 toward your wedding?

Yep, it even gets better. Amazon is giving away $5000 for one lucky couple to put toward their wedding! All you have to do is add $1000 worth of items to your own registry by May 31, 2017 (something you'd be doing anyways) and you're automatically entered to win!

 It's as easy as that!
