Pseudo-Shopping at Rustan's Weddings and Beyond

Some weeks back, ze fiance and I finally decided to enlist ourselves at Rustan's bridal registry. We went to their store at Alabang Town Center one Saturday to check on the process and eventually register ourselves. We were ushered to their small office at the Home section and entertained for our agenda. 

Upon telling them that we'd like to have a gift registry with them, we were asked to fill-out a one-pager information sheet. With this, we have the following benefits:

1. Choose the items that we want to receive as wedding presents.
2. Be able to return items we do not like or double items received, and replace them with the ones we prefer.
3. Free delivery for gifts that will be left with them by our guests. 

To let our guests know that we're enlisted in their program, they gave us the Rustan's Weddings and Beyond invitation inserts. 

What's left of the 100pcs. we received. We actually only need 80pcs.

Elegantly designed information card

Aside from that, we also received several discount coupons just because we joined their program.

2 discount cards at Rustan's Home

Discount and Upgrade card for Bellevue Manila's Hotel and Restaurants

6 discount cards for Maidenform items at Rustan's

Lots of perks right? We were also entitled for 1 raffle for a trip to USA c/o their partner United Airlines. I wish we get to take that prize! Haha!

It was also good timing for us because a store attendant can immediately assist us at that moment to select items and build our registry. But before the actual pseudo-shopping, we were provide a checklist so we can pre-select the store sections we want to choose from. This makes selection more efficient as it already limits the areas to be visited.

Adrin and I enjoyed making rounds through their displays and would lightly argue on which items to pick. Haha. Our attendant is ever alert on items we're eyeing and made sure that these items are encoded using their hand scanner. She also makes suggestions at times so we get the most value-for-money item that they sell. It took us more than an hour to complete our list and we're more than happy with our decision to have a registry. It will make the first few weeks and months of our married life a lot simpler because we just might receive some of the basic things we need. =)
