Happy New Year everyone! What an amazing holiday season it was. I got fresh powder turns with great friends and the arctic blast that came through gave me an excuse to just cuddle up on the couch with a cup of tea, terrible television and a hideous Snuggie. It really is my favorite time of year, and when that white fluffy stuff decides to top things off and fall from the sky, it just reinforces even further why I’ve chosen to make my life here.
It’s great to see all the stores jam packed with vacationers too. Fighting over produce at our local grocery store and cruising through town with Christmas trees tethered to the top of their cars. Other than the summer season, December and January are the main months that sustain our local economy and keep our community vibrant and viable.
If you can register at a few local shops for your wedding it helps our economy blossom, and what better way to give back to the town you’re getting married in? Statistics suggest that one dollar spent at a local independent shop multiplies itself over 7 times before leaving the community. So add a few local registries to your website—people love the idea of sustainable shopping and it will help your guests feel personally connected to Sun Valley.
Lots of local stores have incentive packages for the engaged couple as well. At Ketchum Kitchens, for example, the bride and groom receive a gift certificate worth a percentage of what was sold from their registry, so you can nab that garlic chopper you always wanted!
I’ve added a list of shops below. From outdoor goods to crystal decorations, to linens and knick-knacks, all of the vendors listed would be happy to help you fulfill a registry. Enjoy!
