Why high quality linen makes a great wedding gift

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 one of the most popular gift registry platforms, 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 LINILI, 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.

Not to mention kitchen cloths, kitchen towels, table cloths and cute linen aprons.

It’s also a good idea to ask for a storage system to organize all those linens and towels.

“Your linen closet doesn’t have to be a haphazard mess of towels and blankets,” observes designer of home textile here at LINILI. “With the appropriate storage system, your linen closet can promote a calm sense of order and organization.”

So if you are engaged couple planning your wedding gift registry, be wise and remember that you don’t need a ton of different kinds of sheets and poor quality kitchen textiles. All you need is a few good quality, well made pieces to make your life easy and comfortable.
