Rehearsal dinner planning is often the largest responsibility for the groom and his family in the wedding process. This event, which immediately follows the wedding rehearsal, is an opportunity to honor the bride and groom one final time before they take their vows. It also gives the couple a chance to thank their families and the wedding party for their support and for being a part of the wedding. While the reception will be the biggest party of the weekend, there’s no reason the rehearsal dinner can’t hold its own. Read More

To Our Friends and Valued Customers in Kansas City

Chris Easter To Our Friends and Valued Customers in Kansas City

There are only a handful of companies in the country that specialize in personalized groomsmen gifts. Coincidentally, two of us are based right here in the Kansas City area. Recently, the other Kansas City groomsmen gift company was reported to the Better Business Bureau for failing to ship orders to their customers. This led to them being negatively featured in a local news segment. Because of the similarity of our businesses, this caused a few of our friends, colleagues and customers in Kansas City to wonder if this segment was about us. We’re taking this opportunity to respond and assure everyone that this isn’t the case. The Man Registry team remains dedicated to providing world class service to each and every one of our valued customers.

We’re extremely proud of our 11-year track record of positive feedback. You can learn more about our company and our values here — and read some of our 5-star reviews on The Knot and Wedding Wire.

Cheers!

This type of proposal has been on the rise in recent years on both sides of the aisle. Having a wedding party is a social rite of passage for both you and for the wedding party members. Your groomsmen will be both your support system and your comic relief throughout the whole planning process and the big day. Show them your appreciation by making a big deal out of their involvement!
