Why settle for that boring serving platter you know you need when a Champagne sip or two can give you the courage to get creative with the registry for the gifts you and your beloved are soon to get? This Friday at 5:30 p.m., ditch work, grab your sweetie and head to Macy's on State Street for Sip & Scan, a wedding registry event. Chat with registry experts while you sip cocktails and play with guns. Scanning guns, to be exact. Meet and mingle with other couples who, like you, are totally new to this gift-getting game. Take aim and have fun, just remember, you do not need another waffle iron.
Macy's, 111 North State Street (at Randolph Street); 312-781-1000.
