Thinking that not all of our guests frequents/lives near Rustan's, we decided to also enlist with SM's gift registry. Unlike Rustan's, SM accommodates registries not only for weddings, but also for birthdays, baptisms, etc. Each event is assigned a specific number to each event and clients will be created an online account where one can track his/her events and see the wishlist chosen.
We got our event kit (contains the invitation inserts and discount coupons) from SM Megamall when we went there one time, but due to the on-going 3-day sale at the time, they could not accommodate us to make rounds and build our list. We were told that we can do the picking anytime and in any other SM store. This is an advantage for us since we rarely visit Megamall and would most likely be visiting SM Makati of MOA next.
And I was right, because a week after that, Adrin and I decided to check out SM Makati and do some window shopping for our registrty. We skipped some of the categories we already covered with Rustan's but still ensured we had duplicates of the common household items so we can also provide a cheaper alternative to our guests.
After about an hour of making rounds on the vast Home section of SM Makati, we completed our second gift registry. We bade the staff goodbye and continued on to our next agenda that day. Registering with SM is also an easy breezy experience and it's worth checking out for every occasion that will come along. =)
