Sponsored post: Traveler’s Joy

I was having a discussion with a couple of ladies about bridal registries the other day, and it dawned on me that there are so many new options these days for wedding registries that defy “tradition”.  As couples are waiting longer to get married and testing the waters by living together first, in most cases their houses are practically set up so there’s no need for additional plates, cups etc.  Rather, being able to register for experiences or your honeymoon is becoming increasingly popular, and thats where Traveler’s Joy can come in.   They’ve made it super easy to register for fun things like breakfast in bed, bungee jumping, island excursions, pretty much anything you can do on your honeymoon, you can register for!  How nice to not have to worry about expenses while you’re enjoying some alone time with your sweetie!  You can also add on items like maps, cameras, and luggage, and for higher priced items, the cost can be split up amongst guests so no one’s on the hook for the $1000 Louis Vuitton makeup case you’ve been eyeing.  If you’re stumped for ideas of what to register for, you can use their Instant Registry feature, or check out other Traveler’s Joy user registries to see what they’re getting.

Now you’ve got no excuse to not sign up!

A+R Store

Since I’m on the topic of gifts, I’d love ANYTHING from A+R Store…sadly, no gift registry as of yet. Why don’t the best modern stores have registries? Here’s whats on my wishlist….from top: Walnut breadboard by Sagaform $40, Ceramic crinkle cups $10, Fresh herb pot $15, Oven to Table serving bowl $42.

I am determined to get something from Jessica Rust Designs as a wedding present, anniversary present, or any darn present, as long as I get one. Her work is so dainty and beautiful, great for the newlyweds.
