With the popularity of gift registries, couples today may find it even easier to collect what they need to start their new lives. According to TheKnot.com, over $19 billion is spent annually through wedding gift registries.
With linens as a top registry category, that can add up to a lot of sheets and towels. According to the experts at ClosetMaid, the average couple needs:
• Two sheet sets for seasonal changes and one basic white set for each bedroom
• Eight pillows (two for her, two for him and four for guests)
• Two comforters per bed (one for warmer and one for colder weather)
• One throw blanket per bed and an extra one for cozy fireplace cuddling
• Four bath towels, four hand towels and four washcloths per bathroom.
It’s also a good idea to ask for a storage system to organize all those linens.
“Your linen closet doesn’t have to be a haphazard mess of towels and blankets,” observes Susan Follick of ClosetMaid. “With the appropriate storage system, your linen closet can promote a calm sense of order and organization.”
