Not to mention having to pay for the rabbi to come in and bless everything all over again...  

According to my roommate, a gift often given at weddings (in addition to the two sets of china) is for an older relative to arrange payment with the rabbi to come in and bless the new home, dishes, pots, pans, etc.  If you can afford it, having separate refrigerators for Milchen and Fleisschen is also a good idea...

My roommate used to have (and lost) a wonderful book that was called "The Jewish household" or "Keeping a Jewish home" or something like that.  She calls the book, in private, as "So Ya Married a Jew."  I'm STILL searching for  copies of that....
