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 are so excited for you all to join in Chicago! Here are some of our favorite places to visit this magical time of year!

Things To Do

One of our favorite spots for a good cocktail in the River North neighborhood.

The Berkshire Room

The famous Christkindlmarket is a German-style Christmas market (one of the biggest in the country). Walk around to shop for ornaments, drink mulled wine, and eat pretzels, strudels, and potato pancakes.

Christkindlmarket Chicago

Millenium Park Ice Rink

We gathered here after our engagement party. One of our favorite places for a beer, especially during the holiday season as its decorations are the best in the city!

Butch McGuires

World famous Chicago-style deep dish pizza! There are many locations throughout town and the pizza is always the same.

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

Food hall in West Loop featuring 18 of the best restaurants in Chicago. No reservations needed!

Time Out Market Chicago

One of our favorite Italian restaurants (with a sister restaurant nearby Ellen's mom's house). Reservations recommended.

Riccardo Osteria

One of Pat's favorite spots in Chicago for Italian food. Reservations recommended at this location (or their Bucktown location).

Etta - River North

We had our first breakfast as fiancés here. Their pancakes & eggs never disappoint! Walk-ins only.

The Original Pancake House

Great food for any time of day. Reservations recommended.
