Vintage Tableware – Unique Wedding Registry Gifts

Posted by StrictlyWeddings.com :: Leave a Comment :: Filed Under

Chicago’s Michelle Rahn, is a big StrictlyWeddings.com fan and we like watching what she’s talking about as well.

Bridal registry was one of her recent topics, specifically vintage tableware, which we thought our StrictlyWeddings.com followers might enjoy as well.

Antiquaria has collected dishes, pyrex and mid-centruy pieces for years and are finally sharing their gorgeous finds with the world! While most couples sadly tuck their fine dishes into the corner or store them in boxes somewhere to be unearthed down the road once or twice a year, these ladies are bringing back china as cherished object d’arte AND the ceremony of fine dining and elegant, stylish get-togethers on a regular basis.

 

They scour the markets for vintage china and make it modern by mixing patterns and styles, and creating the chicest type of table – an eclectic mix of pieces instead of a matchy-matchy complete set.  Meaning a home truly unique to you! The collection ranges from china to glassware, kitchenware, serving pieces, and even stamps.

Can I add a Gift Registry Card to my Wedding Invitations?

Posted by StrictlyWeddings.com :: Leave a Comment :: Filed Under

Wedding giftsIt is never okay to add a gift registry card to your wedding invitation suite.

According to Peggy Post, wedding invitation etiquette: registry and gift giving information is spread by word of mouth or can be given by inserting into a shower invitation. This information should NEVER grace the wedding invitation. This puts to much emphasis on the gift and not the guest attending which is the most important part of your inviting and hoping the guest can actually attend. Inserting such information can be a turn off for your friends and family. Gifts are the guests choice.

Adding a gift registry card in with or on your bridal shower invitation, that is a different story. The person giving the party is allowed to give their guests gift ideas FOR YOU! Parents, grandparents, aunts and bridesmaids can verbally tell the guests gift ideas when asked.

Growing in popularity among brides and grooms is the creation of a wedding web site. This would be an acceptable place to provide a link to your Registry.
