Crate&B bridal registry event- for fiance?

teamL09

Hi,
Crate&Barrel has some wedding registry events this month targeted to brides, but do you know if grooms can come too? FI- and I - would hate for him to be the only guy, but I want him to see their offerings too.
Thanks!

I went to the C&B event in October with my FI.  It was mostly couples with the occasional mother/daughter combo.

Yeah definitely bring him. It was a lot of fun and all couples at the one I went to.

We also went to one several months ago.  Plenty of guys there!

What goes on there? I just got a letter from C&B explaining their new exchange/return policy...bummer!

There are mimosas (yum!) and food. They demo a lot of the products like fondue sets and panini presses and have the stuff there to eat. It was really fun IMO.

Kate, I asked someone about that and they said they are flexible with registrants. Who knows? I havent had to take anything back yet, I can only hope!

Oooo....you already had your shower, right??? Ooo...something to discuss if you come to our next GTG! I didn't even think to ask this at the last one! :)

sgylling

I haven't! I have my family's side on the 20th and my FI side on the 27th! We can definitely discuss at the GTG!

My then fiance, and I both went to a C&B registering event.   It was great, we didn't stay as long as others, but it went well.  I have to say one thing about registering with C&B, as it was one of our favorite stores to have received gifts from.  They package things perfectly, I never had to return one thing.  Receipts always had all of the information we would/may need.  I can't say enough bad things about the way Macys sent gifts! Just Horrible!  China place settings, and other breakables just thrown in a box and shipped with LITTLE packaging.  I think we had to return at least 3 broken items, and they really couldn't have cared less.

My fiance and I are both going to the C&B event this weekend. I think a lot of couple's go together.  What is their new return policy?

My fiance and I went a few months ago.  There were lots of couples there, so he should be fine   Plus, they give out free food and mimosas.  Can't beat that.  lol.
