Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

We know many people are traveling to Chicago to celebrate this weekend with us- here are some of our favorite spots and activities to check out while you're in town!

Things To Do

Sunshine or snow- totally worth the trip! Our top recommendation for anyone seeing Chicago for the first time

Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours

We highly recommend visiting Lincoln Park Zoo—one of the oldest zoos in the country, and best of all, it’s free! Located just north of downtown, it’s a great spot to stroll, see the animals, and enjoy the scenic views of the city.

Lincoln Park Zoo

Amazing aquarium and great option if the weather isn't cooperating! Plus, get great views of the skyline!

Shedd Aquarium

A hidden, underground speakeasy-style tiki bar in River North- vibey with creative cocktails! This place gets PACKED so make a reservation if you want a seat!

Three Dots and a Dash

Blake's favorite spot! Usually has a line to get in, but worth the wait! Has a cigar bar upstairs and always great music
