Wedding Fever

Happy Saturday!! My last post provided a couple of ideas for gifts for those special friends tying the knot in the near future. However, it got me thinking about wedding gifts, and I realized Amazon.com has a wedding registry available. Holy cow. How did I not know about this on our wedding day?! My wedding day was the happiest day I could have imagined, not to mention we received the best gifts for our new home together.

Now I feel like a jerk though, because I registered at Neiman Marcus and Macy's (for full priced designer items,) when in fact my very china is available on Amazon for 33% off. Unbelievable. Here it is (I looooooove it)

http://www.amazon.com/Wedgwood-5-Piece-Dinnerware-Place-Setting/dp/B000VIGERY/ref=sr_1_40?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1332607348&sr=1-40

It is the beautiful, and classic Vera Wang Lace pattern. In addition to gold, it is also available in platinum. I received 10 sets, so that would add up to a savings of $500.00!! It never occured to me the same awesome site where I buy all my books and CD's carried such high end designers. If I had only known Amazon had a registry I would have completely taken advantage of their prices, and unparralled service. If you, or any othere brides to be are considering building a registry in the new future, I absolutely recommend checking out our site, and Amazon products in general. Also, consider the fact that registry's are not only for weddings, I've seen registry's for college graduations, housewarmings, baby showers and anniversarys. Amazon has a full range of products to fit any occasion, but I have elected to focus on wedding today after seeing 3 of the very designers, and products I registered for at FULL price. Booooooo....

These gorgeous Kate Spade Lara-bee old fashioneds were on our registry as well. They are darling, and surprisingly heaving. We also recieved an additional set etched with "Mr & Mrs" they are well made, classic and chic.

In addition to Kate Spade and Vera Wang, Amazon also has quite a few pieces by Waterford. This is the tri-fecta of the holy grail of all things wedding registry. I received 2 sets of these rainfall glasses and use them everytime we entertain -- they are beautiful!! Also budget friendly, at $45 for a set of 4.  Who would want to register and Bed Bath & Beyond (I think it's tacky) when you can register at Amazon, receive free shipping to your door and all the perks of such a wonderful company?

So there you have it; I hope some of you will avoid the mistake I made in my ignorance. How I wish beyond wishes I had known about Amazons registry feature, my guests would have saved bundles, and likely would have in turn been able to purchase more off our registry for us with these stellar prices. Happy Saturday, and if you are like me, happy shopping day!! :)
