With the biggest "Love" day of the year coming up, whose looking to pop the question on Valentine's Day?? Maybe mix it in with the flowers and chocolate....or do something a little more simple at home? Who is celebrating their love this Holiday and popping the question to their special someone to be their forever Valentine and dinner date? ❤

Watching football and wondering who has proposed, or has gotten married at their favorite sport team's field?

The jumbo screen has been a "fan" favorite for a lot of people to pop the question, so who has done this? Would love to see pictures of those who have gotten engaged at a sporting event, sounds like this would be a great idea and story to share.

Happy 2021, we all made it through!! 2020 was definitely a year of uncertainty, and with the New Year, whose thinking about popping the question??

What is the "normal" amount that most people spend? This is by far the number one question that I am asked while assisting guests. My response is always, we have a wide variety of payment options here at Kay's, but where are you comfortable at? Yes, I totally turned the question back on the guest, because you know your budget and ultimately what you are most comfortable with.

Saving/budgeting for a ring used to be thought of as three months salary, and yes some do keep to that...but ultimately we are all here for YOU!

What have you done to prepare yourself for purchasing an engagement ring or wedding bands? Any insight from our members would be great, as we are all in this together, celebrating one another!

Whose getting engaged for Christmas? Maybe New Year’s?? With ALL that has gone on this year, I would love to celebrate LOVE!! What better way to get 2020 behind us by continuing to “Celebrate Life, and Express Love.”

Please share your ideas for this Holiday Season, or better yet, pictures of your engagement from this Holiday! Let’s all celebrate together, as well are all in this together!! Have a wonderful Holiday everyone, and Happy New Year’s!

You’ve left the store, ring in bag, and you’re about to propose, congratulations will soon be in order. A secondary thought might cross your mind, and if it doesn’t, you definitely might want to consider this for your new purchase!

At Kay Jewelers, or any of our affiliates, we an write up a Certificate of Appraisal for your merchandise to forward off to your insurance company, for insurance purposes. Depending upon your Renter or Home Owner Insurance companies, they might require a more detailed “listing” other then just a sales receipt, which again, we can provide you, upon request in store.

This tidbit of information, is a great piece of advice, for larger purchases to reassure you, and give you that peace of mind if that “worst case scenario” were to ever occur, you are fully covered.

Oh my gosh, its snowing in PA right now and I'm thinking of places to propose. How cute and seasonally appropriate would it be to head off to a Christmas themed place (we have a Christmas Village nearby) and propose to your special someone under the snow with all the lights around? I'm a little romantic, and I absolutely love this idea!

Anyone else care to share a super romantic, seasonally appropriate Holiday proposal??

Looking through all of our merchandise seemed a bit daunting to me when I started looking for an engagement ring. Working for a company that specializes in diamonds made it super easy for me to see all of the latest trends and ideas as they came into my store. What I realized after trying on almost everything at least three times, was that I wanted something different, something outside of the box. We had a scheduled Diamond Event at my location, which allows you to choose your diamond and setting allowing you to watch your creation come to life. It was amazing watching my soon to be fiancé stare in amazement at what was being created right before his eyes. We can all create your custom ring along with our design and service center, online with our bridal design a ring, or like I did at a Diamond Event. We continue to reach all of our guests where YOU want to be met as well as offering many different options to find your perfect ring!

We are two days away from Thanksgiving and I am thinking not only about stretchy pants, but also the amount of sale savings we will be having in our stores this Holiday season.

Whether you are in the beginning stages of looking for a ring, or are actively looking, NOW is the best time to consider purchasing an engagement ring or wedding bands. The frequency that our stores have amazing saving events is definitely now, to either stretch the budget or to simply tuck away for your future engagement/wedding. What are your thoughts in regards to purchasing a ring 6 months to year out from when you plan to propose, or are you more of a spur of the moment purchaser, because you're like me and can’t hold on a secret to save yourself!

Whichever you feel is right for you and your significant other, do what is best for you! As a Manager with our company, but also as a consumer, I love passing along this tidbit!

2020, enough said, right? In all seriousness, I think we all could use some good news. I want to see that couples are still getting engaged and still getting married during a global pandemic. We were scheduled to be in Vegas in June, and we were going to get married there, but then the world shut down and plans were cancelled which is how we came to the conclusion of a backyard wedding.

What, if anything did you do differently because of the Pandemic? Did you push off your engagement, maybe your wedding...or did you just throw caution to the wind and “let the show go on” with minor alterations.

We were invited to three different weddings this year and for quite awhile it was touch and go for them, with one eventually being postponed until next year and the other two were definitely modified to the current restrictions.

Let us know that “Love isn’t Cancelled” and show us pictures from your engagement, or pictures of your big day! Congratulations to ALL the engaged, and newly wedded couples of 2020, you faced adversity on all fronts with the Pandemic and let your love shine!

Considering a proposal, and Brian A Avelar had previously mentioned in his survey about should you ask their parents, but with more second marriages out there, there are more families out there established and becoming a singular unit.

How would you incorporate your soon to be fiancé or fiancees’ children into the proposal, and then wedding day?
For the proposal, maybe ask the kids for their permission, and maybe have them be there to capture the moment. Then for the wedding day, with rings being exchanged, you could share a personalized piece of jewelry for the children, if possible, to establish everyone together as a “family.”

With so many modern day Brady Bunch families, what worked best for you and your family, or what recommendations would you have for those looking to propose with children involved? Would love to see some comments below!
