Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. If you’ve run into a creative block when starting your home registry, we recommend thinking about your interests and what you enjoy together as a couple. If you’re into cocktails and hosting get-togethers with your friends, consider using your registry to upgrade your bar. Treat your registry as your opportunity to splurge a little on all the accessories you may have always wanted or to upgrade or replace some of your current items.
It’s time to get your registry started, and pimp your bar with our Ultimate Bar Registry Checklist!
Barback Basics
If making craft drinks is something you enjoy, you may already own many of these items. But don’t overlook the basics. Think of your registry as an opportunity to double-check that you’ve covered the basics and to upgrade or replace some of the older items you currently have.

Master Mixologist
This is where the magic happens.

These simple items can take your mixologist experience to a whole new level – and will look pretty cool in your newlywed space.
