For Useful Gifts, Brides Goes Postal

Customized photo stamps aren't new, and postage might sound like a common enough item, but how often do you receive a gift bag with something truly useful? Carolyn Chauncey, executive director of creative services at Brides magazine, chose to include stamps adorned with an assortment of past covers for the publication's 75th anniversary celebration last Wednesday. Guests departed with a bag that included a sheet of 10 authentic U.S. Postal Service stamps (each with a value of 62 cents, a nod to the higher cost of postage for wedding invites). How's that for an inexpensive, thoughtful, and effective way for attendees to remember your event? —Mark Mavrigian

For Its 75th Anniversary, Brides Builds a Nest for Newlyweds

In a city where a couple can marry at a movie premiere and hundreds of wives-to-be scale a giant wedding cake for cash, the idea of putting a honeymoon suite inside a tourist attraction isn't all that unconventional. Commemorating its 75th year—and perhaps looking to edge out the competition with a creative ploy for publicity—Brides magazine built a bedroom inside Top of the Rock this week for a pair of newlyweds.

Dubbed the Mile High Honeymoon Suite, the promotion opened to the public on Tuesday and closed with a cocktail party last night. Tuesday night, however, Ryan and Kelley Pattee had the 67th-floor perch to themselves. Chosen by the Condé Nast publication as a couple deserving of a unique honeymoon—the bride's ailing parents prevented the two from taking a vacation after their wedding in August—the Pattees were left to their own devices in the east-facing corner of Rockefeller Center's rooftop observatory.
