The Man Registry is giving away a killer grooming kit (valued at $50) to a lucky tweeting bride who can tell us in 140 characters or less why their hubby-to-be needs some grooming help.  Whether it’s because he chews his toenails, needs a serious nose-hair pluck, or hasn’t been to the dentist in three years, let us know. The funnier the better.  Just tag your tweet with @themanregistry by July 5th to be eligible. The winner will be chosen by our groom style expert Simon Daykin (and his partner in crime/wife Ciara). Decision will be based on what groom is in most need of grooming help.

Wedding planners, you’re welcome to enter on behalf of a client!

If you don’t have Twitter, you can enter by posting a comment at the bottom of this post.

Brides, send us a tweet telling us why your groom needs this kit!

Let’s be honest, us men love to lay around, drink beer, watch sports, and not give a damn about what we look like while doing it. Don’t believe what you see in those Axe Body Spray commercials, we can actually make it through life being scruffy and stinky… until the wedding day. Enter Anthony Logistics for Men. They’ve created a great gift package called ‘Here Comes the Groomed.’ This kit has everything a groom will need to look his best for the big day.

The kit includes: glycolic facial cleanser, facial scrub, pre-shave oil, shave cream, after shave balm, sea salt body scratch, glycerin hand/body lotion, and comes in a nifty travel case.

Over the past month, we’ve been hinting at some big things coming to The Man Registry.. Well, we’re ready to let the cat out of the bag on one of them. We’re proud to announce our partnership with Cabela’s – The World’s Foremost Outdoors Outfitter!

What does this marriage between two manly companies mean for all of you grooms out there? You’ll now be able to add even more outdoors gear, grill equipment, and camping supplies to your wedding registry at TMR.  Take a look at some of the new items now available:

Thermo-fork

Garmin handheld GPS

Portable fryer

Weber charcoal grill

Corn grilling basket

RC Cooler!

We even offer Cabela’s gift cards in $25, $50, and $100 denominations.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we’ll be adding many more essential wedding gifts from Cabela’s. Same man time. Same man channel.

Cheers!
