The Man Registry Unveils New Website Additions

July 3, 2008 - PRLog -- KANSAS CITY, KS —The Man Registry, LLC, an online wedding resource provider for grooms based in Kansas City, KS, which in March launched the first wedding registry and informational resource designed specifically for men (http://www.themanregistry.com), has revamped TheManRegistry.com homepage to accommodate several new additions to the website designed to better serve the needs of the site’s grooms and advertising partners.

For the registry area, the website unveiled an exciting new promotion for registrants. Couples who create a wedding gift registry at TheManRegistry.com between July 1, 2008, and October 1, 2008, will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a Nintendo Wii. The winners will receive a complete Nintendo Wii video game system, including console and stand, remote, sensor bar, nunchuk, AC adapter, RCA cable and Wii Sports game. (Full sweepstakes rules are available at http://www.themanregistry.com/Details.aspx?NavID=53.)

“The Wii system is extremely popular now for people of all ages, and especially for those getting ready to settle down,” says Chris Easter, co-founder of the site. “One lucky couple will get a bonus wedding gift from TheManRegistry.com just for creating a registry.”

The website’s registry section also features a newly expanded selection of groomsmen gifts, including numerous personalized gift options such as beer mugs and other specialty drinking glasses, flasks, bottle openers, beer signs, cuff links, money clips and watches. And for die-hard sports enthusiasts, the website now offers a range of NFL, MLB and NCAA logoed gifts.

“Adding personalized groomsmen gifts to the site is just another step toward providing grooms with a one-stop medium where they can register for wedding gifts, purchase attendant gifts, learn about weddings — and even have fun doing it,” Easter adds.

To help keep grooms organized and on track during the wedding planning process, the website’s Groom 101 page now features a section with a wide variety of checklists focusing on all of the nitty-gritty details that both grooms and the wedding party can reference, print out and refer to at any time. A sampling of checklist topics designed to simplify the wedding process includes: the groom’s financial responsibilities, rehearsal dinner planning, groomsmen and usher responsibilities, planning the reception timeline and more.

For advertisers, the entire website has been revamped to accommodate numerous premium advertising positions.

Also coming soon, TheManRegistry.com will offer an e-newsletter called The Groom’s Game Plan, which will be delivered to subscribers every month. The Groom’s Game Plan will provide grooms with tips and tricks for navigating the wedding process, including a helpful Tip of the Month culled from the website’s wealth of wedding planning resources and an interactive poll.

While most grooms have typically been left out of the wedding planning process, TheManRegistry.com was designed to change that. Launched in March 2008 by three brothers who noticed a void in resources catering to grooms in the wedding industry, this unique website puts men in the driver’s seat, providing couples with the ability to register for gifts that appeal to grooms and help engage them in the wedding process. The centerpiece of TheManRegistry.com is a specialized gift registry featuring hundreds of gifts tailored toward grooms — all of which can be purchased directly from the website and shipped directly to the customer or recipient. In addition to the registry, the website also offers a wealth of information, how-to articles and resources designed to help successfully guide the 1.2 million men who get married each year through every step of the engagement, wedding and honeymoon planning processes.
