Are you considering signing up for a gift registry for your upcoming wedding? Then you may be interested in the Crate and Barrel "Wedding Parties" being held at numerous Crate and Barrel stores across the country. These events will be held on Sunday, October 19 from 9AM to 11 AM or 10AM to noon, depending on the location, featuring food, drinks, music and advice on registering. (Okay, maybe you're thinking, "drinks from 9 to 11 in the morning?" At least I was. Don't know what kind of drinks they're serving - hopefully something with caffeine).  You'll also receive a handblown, glass heart bowl if you register with them while at this event.

These "Wedding Parties" will be held at many locations in about 25 states.  To see if there's a party near you, go to http://www.crateandbarrel.com/Gift-Registry/Events.aspx
