We use them all the time. Sometimes I wish I registered for the fancy stuff but I know I would hate storing and cleaning plates I hardly use </p> <p>I regret registering for a deep fryer...never used it bc it seems like such a hassle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315302 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:39:57 +0000 mrs. bird 1315302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there is only one thing i can think of- a set of twelve cream colored dinner napkins. i thought they'd be standard sized napkins, they're stupid tiny little napkins that i can't fold to make look halfway decent. they sit in the closet, making me angry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315298 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:39:34 +0000 matador84 1315298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a million appliances. The waffle maker I've used twice...the pizelle maker never, citrus juice in the box...</p> <p>I've been married almost 5 years, eek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315288 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:37:14 +0000 Kate6214 1315288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother bought us a vacuum as an engagement gift and it was heavy and did nothing for my pet's hair. So this Christmas I got a new vacuum which is awesome! The day we came home with it my husband set it up and was so amazed with it that he vacuumed the living room, stairs and our bedroom without any prompting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315287 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:37:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1315287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: figures. That's where our towels were from, too!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: that's horrible. Glad you got some good ones, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315270 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:34:25 +0000 LovelyPlum 1315270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Yes! And they take up so much room in our cupboards! Ugh-it's one of my biggest pet peeves about them!</p> <p>@MrsH: this would have been a better option, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315267 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:34:17 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1315267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Our color didn't run, but man, one wash and they bunched up like crazy. They have a thick band at the bottom. We went from oversize towels to like, dish towels.</p> <p>My mom got us new ones for xmas a year or two ago. They're the MS brand from Pennys and they're still as soft as they were when we got them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315266 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:34:08 +0000 cmomma17 1315266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kitchen towels I picked at bed bath and beyond are crappy. They hardly absorb any liquid. So of course someone bought ALL of them for us! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315254 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:32:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 1315254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: ours were HORRIBLE-the color ran after one wash. I returned them to BBB and got Target ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315244 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:31:13 +0000 MrsH 1315244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blender - we got a vitamix and I haven't used the blender since.</p> <p> We didn't register for nice dishes just cheap stuff from Target ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315238 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:30:39 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1315238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we would have registered for better towels. Our fell apart pretty quickly, despite the great reviews they had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315230 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:29:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1315230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our big plates are also so big and heavy. Such a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wedding-registry-items-that-youre-not-as-wild-about-as-you-thought-youd-be#post-1315225 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:28:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 1315225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we got married, we registered for (and got) dinner plates, salad plates, pasta bowls, and cereal bowls for 12. At the time, I was insistent that we register for plates, because in my head, that's what you get for a wedding. </p> <p>Three years later, I'm wondering if perhaps that wasn't the best decision. Our plates are HUGE (12 or 13 inches), and so are the pasta and cereal bowls. We've tried to scale back to 9" plates in an effort to eat smaller portions, and so I now primarily use cheapo plates that I got from Target. I feel badly that we don't use the wedding plates, though!</p> <p>Anything that you thought you'd like that you find is no longer as useful as you had hoped? </p>
