Understanding our family origins and what we are all about as individuals makes it easier to discuss our values as husband and wife and, hopefully someday, as parents. We both know that we are Catholic, we want children, and we both love our families. Perfect! But what is our plan? Where will we be in five or ten years? What are our hopes and dreams for our marriage? It is so easy to get lost in the process of wedding planning and lose sight of these invaluable conversations. If I can offer any bit of advice it would be to take some time away from all those incredibly overwhelming (and exciting) wedding planning to converse ...Read more »

May 25, 2014I was talking to agentlemana fewmonths ago who has never been in Day's Jewelers and has had a bad experience withanother jeweler. His experience was so poor that he really had no trustwhatsoever in jewelers....period. He would have chosen never to set footin ajewelry store again, but his wife wanted anew ring and she was going to have it!She proceeded to drag him in to us (at great protest, I imagine) and stick himin front of ourmounting case. Her request was simple and easilymetso we quickly pinned down what she wanted and even met the budget shehad in mind. All the while, her husband is telling us how much he hatesjewelers and letting us know he would rather be elsewhere. As we arefinalizing the deal, her husband saves the best zinger for last. He looksme in the ...Read more »This entry was posted in: Day's Jewelers

At first I was incredibly stumped by the invitation design process. After visiting website after website and designing my own on many generic templates I was at a loss! I wanted our invitations to be representative of our event but be budget conscious. Enter Hannah Sherwood and E&H Creates. Hannah reached out to me and introduced her services as a paper goods expert. The invitation design process was tricky. Kevin and I were fine with non-traditional phrasing however after sharing the template with our families it was clear that my parents wanted to be included on the invitation. We chose to show that respect to my parents and included the traditional language on our invites. "Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Aceto Jr. request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter..." Wow! That just makes the wedding seem so real!Hannah was a creative genius ...Read more »This entry was posted in: wedding planning , wedding ideas , wedding , wedding traditions , trends 2014

May 14, 20142014 is Day's Jewelers 100th Anniversary and in celebration of 100 great years, we have established the "100 Acts of Kindness" program.

May 13, 2014What are the basic setting styles for engagement rings? It is always daunting for a young couple to come in and explain exactly what they are looking for in an engagement ring or wedding band. Descriptions like " It has lots of little diamonds" or " It has a big one and some others around it" are very common, and unfortunately, not very helpful when a jeweler is asked to show you an item likewhat was envisioned.It leads to a frustrated guest when the jeweler cannot immediately comeup with the right product, so I thought it might be helpful to explain some of thestyles usedin today's jewelry. Let's start with the setting styles which are the most popular. These are far from the only styles available,and there are numerous variations on each. However, you will likely ...Read more »This entry was posted in: engagement rings , diamond engagement ring , how to pick the perfect wedding ring , wedding rings , diamond rings

May 08, 2014Prom dresses are incredibly expensive when you consider that you (realistically) are only going to wear it once and then it will sit in a closet. When I was in high school my friends and I would share dresses to save on the cost but we always would have preferred to have something that everyone hadn't seen before. There is something magical about going to find the perfect dress and when you wear the one your best friend wore the year before, some of that magic evaporates. In 2007 I was a radio DJ and held a live broadcast from the second Cinderella Project Giveaway. The organizers told me all about how they had started the Cinderella Project a year before, had collected all the dresses and held "Giveaway Events"to give the dresses to girls who otherwise may not have gone to Prom. ...Read more »This entry was posted in: Day's Jewelers

Thewedding band is representation of the eternal nature of true love. Like thecircle of the band, the love of the married couple should have no end. I have never seen a truer example of this concept than in Mrs. Perry, who came into the Manchester store a few months back with a story filled with love, but also tinged with sadness. You see,Mrs. Perryhas been married ...Read more »This entry was posted in: wedding bands , wedding rings , custom rings , custom jewelry , love , customer service
