Did you just get engaged on Christmas? Congrats! (Think a ring might be in your future on New Year's? Congrats!). You've got a lot to plan and do. The most fun thing on that list? Setting up your wedding registry.

We ran a bunch of registry-related stories last spring (when a lot of other couples were getting engaged), so we've rounded them all up in this tidy package to help you as you start your planing in 2018.

5. And add a few other things just for fun.

Pizza and Airbnb gift cards? Yes, those things certainly belong on a registry.

6. There are plenty of great places to register.

The classic stores and websites are classics for a reason. They're all easy to access (your Great Aunt Phyllis will thank you) and usually offer some sort of discount when you buy things post-wedding.

7. You can consider making the registry private.

Don't love the idea of your random coworkers being able to see what you're asking friends and family for? You can make your registry private.
