Registry Rewards with Macy’s Wedding Registry + a Giveaway

Linnea — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 15:00:17 +0000

There are about a million and one different reasons why we love Macy’s Wedding Registry. Not only do they have tons of departments with all sorts of fabulous items to put on your list and stores all over the country, but their online process is easy-as-pie and it couldn’t be more convenient for your guests to shop. And their Registry Star Rewards really puts them over the top in terms of registry perks. Just reading about all these reward dollars has us dreaming of all sorts of extra goodies to buy!

Here’s how it works. For every purchase you make (bridesmaids gifts, a tux for your groom-to-be, dresses for all those showers) Macy’s will give you 10% back in reward dollars. (In order to get Registry Star Rewards, you must be a Macy’s Card Holder) For every gift purchased for you (Kitchen Aid Mixer from Aunt Sue, towels from your next door neighbor) you’ll get 5% back. After your Wedding is over, you’ll get a Gift Card with the amount of Rewards Dollars earned to use on even more stuff! Easy as that.

And if all this giving back has put you in the mood to pay it forward, Macy’s has a program called Shop for a Better World, which allows you to register for gifts that give back to those who are less fortunate. By registering for and receiving gifts made by artisans in earthquake devastated Haiti or basket weavers in Rwanda, you’ll be aiding in their recovery by supporting the sale of their unique goods.

And last, but certainly not least, we’re is in serious Giveaway mode with 2 great offers at Macy’s. First up, we want to offer you a special gift from Macy’s that will glam up your wedding day look even more. Simply register in person at any Macy’s Wedding & Gift Registry or online at Macys.com, and bring along your Macy’s Registry Wish List to the Clinique counter at Macy’s for your initial Bridal Consultation and you’ll receive a free full-size Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 in Air Kiss!! In addition, Macy’s is offering 1 lucky SMP Reader a $250 Gift Card to spend as they please! Simply comment below with the first 3 things you would register for at Macy’s and you’ll be entered to win! 1 Lucky winner will be randomly chosen on Friday, June 17th. Good luck, and Thank you Macy’s!

SMP Loves…Mary Jurek Designs

Abby Larson — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:20:42 +0000

I just got my Mary Jurek cake server set in the mail…and oh, my. It’s GORGEOUS. Sleek but not overly modern, organic but still incredibly elegant. It feels expensive, well made and would make the perfect accessory to any of the cakes that we feature on SMP. Take a peek at all of Mary’s gorgeous handmade (!) designs. A complete registry must-have!

Jessica Rust Designs

Abby Larson — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:50:28 +0000

One of my very favorite artists, Jessica Rust of Rust Designs, just released her newest product and I HAD to share it with you!!

Isn’t this new gold accented line just beautiful? I have been a huge fan of Jessica’s since my dear friend Cat of Cat Seto introduced me to her work about a year ago (as a side note, Cat has a GREAT blog you guys should check out if you haven’t already). I love, love, love Jessica’s delicate but oh-so-chic styles and honestly think that any of her wares would make the PERFECT wedding gift.

The best part? She recently launched an online gift registry so your guests can help you stock up on all of her beautiful pieces. Along with her dinnerware, Jessica also has a nice variety of serving pieces that would accent just about any fine china or everyday pieces. These are my personal favs…

Come to think of it, I’m kind of obsessed with ALL of Jessica’s designs. The silhouettes are just about the greatest thing I have ever seen and the gold accented limited edition bowls are absolutely stunning (my best friend Katie ordered these for her parents as a gift and they were kind of amazing). Each piece that Jessica creates is understated and yet so personal. I just love that.

All of the products in the new Bodanna Registry are hand-made locally in New York City by artisans, including graduates of their programs, and 100% of proceeds from each sale go towards developing and sustaining their program for at-risk young adults.

Ask Abby

Abby Larson — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 18:00:00 +0000

Although this questions isn’t directly related to wedding style or decor, I wanted to share it with you because I know how difficult wedding registries can be!

Q5 – My wedding is set for June 21, 2008 (the Summer Solstice) and it’s time for us to register for gifts. Being typical NYers, we don’t have much space. So, I’m trying to keep our registry as simple as possible. That being said, I’m trying to decide whether to register for china. I have very simple everyday plates (white 365 IKEA plates) that I see no need to replace, but I am considering registering for “fancy plates (and cups, and saucers, you get the picture).

It would be great if you could do a post on China patterns. I am desperately seeking clean, simple china patterns (perhaps with a touch of whimsy).

A5 – I am one of those girls whose knees get weak when she shops for china. Registering for china was one of my very favorite things to do and really, it made me feel like SUCH a bride. So, I think that if you are looking for something simple, with a touch of whimsy, these patterns are perfect…

Top Left by Vera Wang, Top Right by Babara Berry for Wedgewood, Bottom Left by Kate Spade, Bottom Right by Vera Wang

I have the Grand Gourmet by Vera Wang, though I ordered fun salad plates in a different, but coordinating pattern. I looooove them. The key to justifying china, however, is to USE IT! Break out the china when you have guests over for Chinese food or when you have an impromptu brunch with family. They are a bit more fragile than regular dishes, and shouldn’t be dishwashed, but a good set of china will last a lifetime.

One last note, I chose my china pattern to coordinate with my mom’s…if we ever need more, we have an extra set!
