Entertaining Essentials

Dinner Party Essentials for Your Registry

Fill out your gift registry with our one-click bundle of dinner party essentials for hosting your first soireés as a married couple. From cocktail hours with old friends to dinner parties with coworkers, this collection of entertaining essentials has everything you need to impress your guests and make them feel right at home. To ensure that you're ready for any occasion, stock up on dinner party must-haves including wine glasses, appetizer plates, serving dishes, serving utensils and a beverage dispenser. When adding individual plates and glasses to your registry, we recommend that you register for at least 12 to ensure that you have enough on hand for unexpected plus-ones. Are your get-togethers renowned for a signature dish? Give your favorite menu item a place of honor with a specialty serving dish designed for your chip and dip spread or bakery-worthy cupcakes. Or, save on storage space by opting for entertaining must-haves that do double duty—oven-to-table serveware functions as both bakeware and eye-catching serving dish in one. Once you've got your dinner party essentials covered, round out your registry with other one-click bundles, such as home coffee bar accessories and essential bedding. Whether you're well on your way to completing your list or still wondering what to add to a wedding registry, one-click registries make it easy to cover all the basics with just the touch of a button.
